Audition video (3 minutes max.)
An audition video is a great way to show us that you’re a ‘performer’. We need our guides to be friendly, humorous and upbeat, which aren’t easily demonstrated by sending us a paper-based application.
Many of our guides are street performers, stage entertainers and stand-up comedians. But don’t worry if your workplace is less exciting than a trapeze rope, you could simply be undiscovered talent!
Let your personality shine in your audition video — we want to get to know you. If you lead our kayak tours in the future, you’ll be a big part of the guest experience. And so, we want you to showcase your sparkling personality in your video.
After briefly introducing yourself, tell us a story that’s meaningful to you. Maybe about the first time you travelled overseas, or the most meaningful day of your life and what made it so. Add warmth and family-friendly humour to your story.
Here are some tips for filming your video.
- Film landscape (horizontal), not portrait (vertical).
- If filming inside, make sure to do so in a well-lit room with light in front of you.
- Avoid filming in front of a window with bright sunlight streaming in behind you.
- When filming outside, avoid doing so with the sun directly behind you. Also, avoid windy days.
- Whether inside or outside, film during the day so we can see you clearly.
- Speak loudly and clearly so we can hear you.
- Film in a relatively quiet area so background noises won’t drown out your voice.
