Everett Bailey
Male Adult (30-45)

Everett is a large man, standing at about 6'5", with long, scraggly brown hair and always has a five o'clock shadow. He spent a decade in the Army and has done a few tours in the middle east. He is highly skilled, keeps his strong physique well maintained, has a snarky sense of humor, makes jokes out of things that are serious, and has a habit of sabotaging his civilian jobs because he secretly misses the Army despite his intense PTSD.

Everett has a beautiful wife and two kids, a nice modern home, a great job, and a lot to lose.

Common Questions

Self Tape Now isn't about winning a real-world role — it's about showcasing your talent. These audition sides are meant to help you stay sharp, refine your skills, and build your ActorBay profile with high-quality material. Unlike real auditions, you're not bound by NDA, so your tape can be shared publicly and used to promote yourself.

You will be given a minimum of 4 days, from the time you accept the Self Tape Now side, to submit the tape. The deadline may be extended based on the timing of other actors accepting the character. However, ActorBay tracks how long it takes you to deliver your tape. Faster, high-quality submissions reflect positively on your ABScore and profile.

An audition side is a short script excerpt — usually under 3 pages — that actors use to showcase their performance abilities. On ActorBay, these sides are written by members of the community and tailored specifically for Self Tape Now.

Yes! That's one of the biggest advantages. Unlike traditional auditions, your Self Tape Now tape is yours to share. Once the scoring is completed, you can add it to your ActorBay profile and promote it on social media to gain visibility.

Once enough tapes have been submitted for a role, submissions close. ActorBay users can then vote in 1v1 matchups between two randomly selected tapes. The results of these matchups are used to calculate each actor's win/loss ratio and contribute to their ABScore.

Scoring begins automatically once a sufficient number of tapes have been submitted for that specific audition side. Submissions are then closed, and voting opens to the ActorBay community.

Your ABScore is ActorBay's proprietary performance metric, calculated from your Self Tape Now results. It reflects your performance skill based on peer scoring and is the most important factor used to rank actors on the platform.

Failing to submit a tape after accepting a side negatively impacts your ABScore. This is to encourage reliability and follow-through — traits that matter in real industry settings.

Yes! During the scoring phase, you’ll be able to view tapes in 1v1 comparisons and vote on who you’d cast. After scoring ends, top-ranked tapes will be publicly viewable so actors can learn from each other and grow.

You can only submit one tape per audition side, but you’re encouraged to participate in as many available sides as you’d like! Each one is a new opportunity to perform, get feedback, and strengthen your profile.
