GENERAL AUDITIONS
TIME TO TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR AUDITION!
We've updated our process for considering new talent. Please submit a self-tape or a link to your reel for principal work consideration. We want to see you performing on camera in the medium you'll audition for.
Here are some simple guidelines:
Video Length: Keep it under 3 minutes. Showcase your best performance—how you see yourself professionally. It doesn’t need to be a high-budget production; a smartphone video is fine. Just ensure good lighting and sound.
File Format: Send one link or a video file in .mp4 or .m4v format.
Framing: Film in a close-up (head and shoulders). Ensure good lighting and clear audio.
Smartphone Tips: Film horizontally (landscape), not vertically. Ensure your slate is also shot horizontally.
Once ready, email your video to heerygeneralauditions@gmail.com with the following info:
Name
Phone number
Email address
City or nearest metro area
Attach your photo (as .jpg) and resume (as .pdf) labeled with your name (e.g., johndoephoto.jpg and janedoeresume.pdf).
Important Notes:
Only submit content that is appropriate and professional. We reserve the right to reject offensive material.
Submitted videos are for internal use only and won’t be shared publicly.
This is for general auditions, not specific project requests.
If successful, we’ll confirm receipt. No need to follow up.

Keep your contact info updated and your phone on. Extras are often booked last-minute.
Ensure your CAP account is current (sizes, vehicle, contact info).
Know your union status. Non-union extras may get waivers, but you have a limited number.
Read all booking info carefully:
Wardrobe: Follow specific clothing guidelines (avoid black, white, red, logos).
Location & Call Time: Be on time; lateness can lead to dismissal. Call times are usually released late the night before.

Leave valuables at home, but bring something to do during downtime.
Stay near your wrangler and avoid wandering.
Keep your phone on vibrate, and no cameras allowed.
If your car is used in the shot, ensure it’s full of gas. Props may also be requested.

Most productions use an electronic payroll system. Fill out your info via the provided link.
After wrapping, approve and download your pay voucher. A check will be mailed within 2-3 weeks.
For payroll issues, contact the payroll company listed on your voucher.
Payment won’t be released without required ID.
Note:
Non-union projects may have different payment processes. You’re responsible for submitting an invoice to the producer. Make sure to get billing details at booking.
