Wear Clothing That Makes You Feel Good About Yourself
-
Solid color shirts look best on camera; some bold patterns are acceptable. Wear your favorite color. Black and white don't look as good as brighter colors or mid-tones on camera.
-
You will be videotaped from the waist up.
-
Bring an alternative shirt option so we can pick what looks best with the video background.
-
Depending on the background, a splash of color can be a nice addition. Feel free to bring accessories (ie: scarves, jewelry, neckties).
Come Hair And Makeup Ready
-
Style your hair and apply your makeup before the shoot.
-
Bring a comb/brush and powder for touch ups while on set.
-
We have some loose powder for you if you do not have your own.
What Are Your Message Points?
-
We recommend that you bullet point the message points you want to make prior to the shoot. Memorization is unnecessary. You don't want to come across as too rehearsed.
-
When on camera you don't need to worry about exactly what you'll say. It's best if you speak in a conversational tone. We'll prompt you with leading questions to help you get your message across in the best way possible.
Arrival Time
-
Please arrive 30 minutes prior to your scheduled interview start time.
