STS #9: PREPARATION H

 

This episode of “Sides-To-Screen” highlights three talent we cast who went above and beyond in their self-tapes / virtual callbacks for the Preparation H commercial.

Since the spot relied on physical movement with no dialogue, Tony Demil (@tonydmafia), Kristina Bermudez (@kristinabertha) and Michael Hannon fully utilized their own environment and concentrated on bringing the scene to us.

The final decision to book Michael was based on his original self-tape due to his skillset and preparation. Tony and Kristina attended the remote callback where we tested their chemistries side-by-side on the screen. During the callback, they were directed multiple times so we can see them interact together as they would on set. Their adjustments were spot-on, capturing exactly what the directors were looking for.

Thank you actors for adding your creativity to your audition & self-tapes. We miss interacting/directing with you. Keep up the great work!
