🎬 6 essential tips to shine in your next selftape

The selftape has become an essential tool in the selection process of actors and actresses. More and more productions in Barcelona and internationally are opting for this agile and comfortable format. At Gimpera Models, we want to help you stand out from the first second. Here are our 6 essential tips for a professional selfie:

1. Show that you are eager to be part of the project.
Show your motivation for the project and the desire to be part of it is essential. From the energy you show on camera to a short presentation if you are asked to do so, every detail counts so that the casting team can see your involvement.

2. Prepare the text and the character
Study the script, understand the context and define your character. It's not just about reciting lines, it's about conveying emotions and creating a real connection with the viewer.

3. Take care of lighting and framing
Shoot in a well-lit space, preferably with natural light or white front light. Face a plain wall, with the frame from the chest upwards. Avoid shadows or visual distractions.

4. Choose your wardrobe wisely
Dress simply and neutrally, avoiding prints or bright colours. Your costume should complement the character you are playing without stealing the limelight from your performance.

5. Take care of the sound
Avoid background noise and film in a quiet place. Make sure your voice is heard clearly, without echoes. You can use an external microphone if you need to.

6. Take several takes and choose the best one
Don't be satisfied with the first recording. Try several takes until you find the one that best conveys your performance and energy. Check the result before sending it.

Based in the vibrant city of Barcelona and with more than 30 years of professional experience, our mission is to connect actors, actresses and models with the best opportunities in well known audiovisual productions, both in national and international projects.

This blog is born with the desire to become a reference space for anyone who is part of this industry or wants to join it. Our aim is to offer inspiring, practical and valuable content to help you understand better how the industry works and provide you with the necessary tools to boost your career.

What will you find in this space?

Here you can find practical advice on how to get the best staging for each casting, how to stand out and improve your portfolio, and even how to boost your career in the world of fiction and advertising. We will also share the day-to-day life of the projects we are involved in, showcasing the experiences of our talents and their recent achievements in fiction projects and advertising campaigns.

We will also talk about the preparation required for each type of project. An advertising spot does not require the same interpretative register as a role in a series or a film.

We will also keep you up to date with the latest trends and developments in the audiovisual world. A dynamic and constantly evolving industry in which it is essential to stand out creatively and reinvent yourself in order to adapt to new digital platforms, new supports and diverse formats.

The emergence of social networks and streaming platforms has transformed the way audiovisual content is consumed. This has also had an impact on the work of models, actors and actresses, who now have the opportunity to project their image on a global scale and generate direct connections with their audience. In this blog, we will explore these new dynamics and explain how to make the most of them to boost your career.

Much more than a blog: a community

Gimpera Models is not just an agency, but a large network of professionals and talents who share the same passion. We want this space to be a meeting point where you can interact with us, ask questions, share experiences and get inspired by the stories of other artists who, like you, struggle every day to make a place for themselves in this profession.
