It really can be quite difficult to make a good casting tape, so it is great to have some suggestions. I particularly like that your article focuses on the importance of not leaving the recordings to the last minute. After all, you want to make sure that you’re taking plenty of time to create a recording that you can happily turn over to the casting director.

In reply to Ross. I record for music students and I remind them many times to send me those guidelines, or just links before rendering the video (which takes time). We wish that students take responsibilities to send us the requirements, but most of them don't take it seriously until last minute and I had do emergency changes a few times to fit certain limitations (and I feel bad to charge more). If students don't tell the engineer where they are sending the files, we can't help them; I don't have random free time for emergencies either. I might start to add policy to the contract to spare this trouble. Do your best to get that information!

In reply to Ross. Actually, it’s ideal if both parties take responsibility for knowing what’s needed. Thanks for pointing this out.

Good info. I’m considering offering recording services for students. I do want to point out that in one of the paragraphs about hiring an engineer, it infers that the engineer should be aware of all schools guidelines. I think that is asking too much. Should it not be the students responsibility to know this information and pass it on to the engineer?
