How to prepare for an online interview or audition

Get your tech right. It’s worth doing a trial video call with someone, this will allow you to adjust your tech as needed as well as help you get used to what it’s like if this isn’t something you’ve done before. Check the lighting, picture quality, and sound. Resolving any issues ahead of the call will help eliminate excess stress and ensure you’re presenting yourself at your best

Eliminate distractions and check your location. If you have the option try to find a quiet place for the call, or use a headset to cancel out background noise if feasible. If you live with other people, let them know that you’ll be on a video call so they can monitor their behaviour accordingly. If you’re worried about not being able to find an appropriate place, just let the tutor know. Our team are very understanding and knows this may be a completely new scenario for you.

Share any resources ahead of your meeting. If there’s any evidence or materials that you plan on sharing with your interviewer it’s beneficial to send these ahead of your session to ensure they’ve got these and they don’t slow down the process. It also means if you do what to share any examples or portfolio work they have copies of high-quality.

Dress appropriately. Just because you’re attending from the comfort of your home doesn’t mean you should change how you present yourself. Wear what you would if you were coming onto campus and meeting in person.

Be prepared. Be passionate. Be yourself. Ultimately the reason you’ll be interviewing or auditioning is so our team get to meet you.
