*What theatres or organizations will be attending this year's TCUTA's?
*Why do I have to provide an electronic Headshot that can be uploaded?
|
Organization! Theatres doing the auditioning DO NOT like shuffling and flipping through papers while people audition. This format allows them to have all the information in one place, on one page. And rather than flipping through papers, the theatres can simply look at your form and then give you their full attention for your audition.
|
*What size does my headshot need to be?
|
For the TCUTA form, your headshot needs to be 3 MB (3,000 Kb) or less in order for it to fit on the form correctly. If you are having difficulty uploading your headshot – most likely, it is of the wrong format or too large (pictures need to be jpg or gif format and less than 3 MB (3,000 Kb) in size). If you are resizing your headshot, please keep in mind that the headshots that appear in the books that the theatres receive are approximately 2 inches by 3 inches (portrait orientation) and are black and white. It is generally a good idea to crop your picture so that the face takes up most of the image. Please note – you will need to upload your headshot even though you have emailed it to CLIMB.
|
Thank you to these organizations for their support!
Thanks and we’ll see you in March!
