Film 2 contrasting monologue (≤ 2 minutes each). Before each monologue, give a brief introduction (character, text, and author).
Film each monologue in a single take without cuts or edits.
Ensure the camera is well placed to show your body as well as your face.

Double-check that your video is clear and audible.

Upload the 3 self-tape files onto YouTube or another service, and copy the links onto the application form.
