Select Screen Talent

When deciding on people to be used in the video you will have to make sure they are willing to participate. Most actors will work around your schedule if given adequate time. It is important to use people who are able to make themselves available when you need them especially if you have to reschedule due to uncontrollable circumstances.
 
If choosing a person to speak on camera, be sure that person is comfortable and able to perform what you want them to do. It is a good idea to prep the person on what they will be asked to do or say before the shoot date is set. Be courteous and give them enough time in advance to prepare. The one thing you want to avoid is a re-shoot, so screen the people who will participate in the video. If you plan on using professional talent in the video the production company can set up a screen call. This is when the talent tryout for parts in a video. The production company can provide you with a sample reel of the screen call. You can view this reel to choose the talent for your video. Make sure the talent you choose fits the part for the video. If the video will be narrated you need to choose voice talent. Most professional voice talent can provide you with samples of their work.
