I wanna know what to wear for a screen test!

Should I be smart or casual?
Should I have my hair up or down? (it is nearly waist length)
HELP! Trying not to be nervous!

  • probably depends on what type of programme you are testing for. i kids i would dress casual, more serious i would dress smartly. i would wear my hair up as it would be less distracting and if down i would probably be nervously playing with it!
    hope this helps and good luck

    I would suggest "smart casual" and wear something that gives you confidence. Good luck.

    No narrow stripes or checks as they go "fizzy" on film. There is a technical term for it, but can't think of it at the mo!
    "Cheap", "Fast", "Right" -- pick two.

    I think it is called "strobing" and I have a hazy recollection that some shades of blue are a problem as well.

  • Hair down, "natural" make up (no orange tan :eek: ), small heels and smart jeans with a dressy top is a good bet but then it does depend on what the screen test is for.

    Watch this space, just hoping they will call me back! Great advice folks, i'd forgot about the strobing, so a good idea if I don't wear my pinstripe suit!
