It’s that dreaded question that arises in an audition situation.
Tell us something about yourself.
Dead space.
Radio Silence.
Big breath in…
What the eff kind of question is that?
Completely open ended. No specific focus. Just…tell you something about myself?
Today’s video is all about what NOT to do when you’re faced with this vague curiosity.
Enjoy.

H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S!!!!!! Love it!
Thanks you! Yay!
Adore! and yup…if it aint come outa my mouth it sure sounds something like that in my head..
Good stuff there Emily!
Very funny! I really enjoy your work. Keep it coming.
Hahaha! Nicely done! Oh my gosh, the chair thing is like what I think everytime I see a chair! I think my most awkward moment was when I met w/ an agent and he asked me this question, and when I kinda stumbled, he asked me what work I thought was out there for me in nyc, and I named 3 shows that filmed in LA. It was so awkward, I moved here.
