Interview season is fast approaching, make sure you're ready for it. I talk about my experiences with interviews for a scenic construction-type major. Music "As Time Passes" from www.zapsplat.com
What's a Portfolio? TALKING TECH THEATRE #2
มุมมอง 4K5 ปีที่แล้ว
This video I give my take on putting together a portfolio for college. I share tips about how I put mine together, and good things to keep in mind. I talk specifically about a more scenic portfolio but most of what I talk about can be applied to a lighting, sound, costumes, projections, or stage management portfolio as well.

How would you recommend an adult who is not in high school get started in technical theatre?
most of the same tips are the same. I would recomend reaching out to things like Props workshops and things like that about volinteering :)
I’m working on my portfolio now but I have very limited tech theatre experience since I’ve been an actor until this year (my senior year of hs) how do I make up for a lack of material, and should I put pictures of my acting experience just to add something else, or do I not mention it at all?
The way that this video is saving my life rn
i needed this video omg. thank you so much!
Notes: As many pictures as possible; In progress photos Scan everything List that show all of the works in the documents/pictures and what you did [show, date, what i did, what documents i had of that production] (resume pretty much) Most impressive to least, most work you did, most relevant to least relevant, or by time Descriptors along with the photos Include a link or QR code to the video Project/Production name & year & your role Not finished product, the process Any weird projects you've done on your own "Other artistic examples" Other artistic interests you have (painting) Fonts that are professional like futura, helvetica, Balance between blank space and filled space (don't make photos/fonts too big. nothing too big) Fit images that make sense together Finished photos after you've already explained the process In captions, explain the context of the photo so you understand what's going on (like in the artistic interests)\ Thank you for actually providing information on this. I was so lost. Means a lot to the techies.
/can't work on productions cause I'm a GED student and theres no community theatre :')/
This is so helpful aaaaaa. Thanks so much.
If I just build set models on a building software I had can I include those? It's something called Roblox Studios but I like to build set designs and pieces for fun! I never turned them into physical models they were just fun little projects to work on.
Really excited to find your channel. I'm in my second year as a theatre tech major and have been struggling to make sure that my school is going to give me the education I want. Really excited to watch you and your channel grow 💕
can I put videos on it?
You definitely can! Any media that showcases your work can be included. Just keep in mind that many schools prefer a printed portfolio (should say on their website when applying), so you may want to include a link or QR code to the video if you have any printed versions.
Missing theater so much right now :(
Me too 😢 we’ll be back soon!
My daughter is putting her portfolio together for applications this year and is at a loss at how to lay it out. This video is very helpful. Thank you.
When putting together a portfolio, I'd like to know the rule when it comes to using stage photos of a production that I'd worked on, but taken by someone else, say a professional photographer hired by the theater company? Would crediting them be enough?
You can totally include professional photos/ones not taken by you. Just include a credit to the photographer under the photos.
This video was great! I'm going to college for tech theater this Fall and I was wondering if you could (or if you already planned on) having videos about what it's like once you get into college? I'd love to get an idea about what it's like
Hey man, thanks so much for this. I'm applying for stage management and production majors this following year. It might be a lot to ask but if it's possible would you be willing to post a PDF of this portfolio for closer examination? Thanks so much again!
No problem, I wish you the best of luck. And yes, I made a public link to the PDF. All I ask is that you don't copy my design and layout exactly, maky yours unique! Hope this is helpful. drive.google.com/file/d/1cresmuwpUgsThE18FPKaNAboVYginUG-/view?usp=sharing
Good video... gonna ask my undergrads to watch and take some inspirations. Thanks.
Go for it! Let me know if there's any other topic you'd be interested in having videos on.
This was a very useful video! Thank you so much!
You're very welcome!
I wish I had found this video when I was applying for schools in the fall!!!! This would have been so helpful!!
I hope you still got in!
THANK YOU! This video was so helpful! I couldn't find theatre portfolio examples anywhere until this video! I'm really happy with the product I made with your help. Hopefully, I'll get the apprenticeship I applied for!
Glad it was helpful! When I was doing portfolios I couldn't find ANYTHING, so I thought I'd share the experience. Best of luck on your apprenticeship!
So let’s say I never was working on the scenes but you were in the show acting. But you want to go into theatre design and technology and have to submit a portfolio but don’t have pictures or anything. What would you do?
Unfortunately, you really can't make a portfolio without any work to show. However, there are lots of programs that don't require a portfolio or lots of prior experience. These programs are usually going to be more general BA programs instead of more specialized BFA's, but you will definately still learn tons of marketable and useful skills.
