Great video. Thanks for sharing. I love how they are short and sweet. Keep them coming. They are a great help and resource to look back on to refresh ones memory. Cheers
Having a Slate could be an educational experience for the Student/s as they may not know what it is, several public colleges don't get into how to cast, how to audition, or these basic steps. So if the students ask about the slate it is a good opportunity to provide some knowledge and how to improve their filmmaking for the future.
If slate asks only name, last name & hight, do we personalize it or not? It doesn't even ask role & what he's reading for. We are in MA/RI area. Does Broadway or vocals differ?
Hello, self tape question here - if the closest / largest known city to me is Los Angeles , should I have that as my location rather than the city i actually am from ?
when I get auditions for actors access they simply say to state your name, height, and location. Should I stand from side to side to give them a profile as well?
As someone who works in casting (In Canada so I'm not speaking for all) this isn't really accurate info. For Commercials - Name and Height. Please don't do the profiles that he says they "certainly" want. We do not. We have a lot of tapes to get through and this unnecessary move from novice actors makes them all longer and we scrub the tape to skip. Also - a "local" hire is not about them putting you up or not (although that factors in) - its all about where you pay taxes. For example, if you are in Toronto and pay taxes there you cannot work as a locale hire in Montreal because you do not pay taxes there and there are specific tax credits they need to get by hiring local.
Thank you for getting to the point and not dragging out the video like some of these other people do

Thanks for the feedback! We appreciate it!
This is going to help so much tysm!!
Thanks for watching, Lily! We are happy to help!
Hi Cody, what do you think about wearing glasses during a slate/audition? Thanks
My coach has been having me slate AFTER my audition instead of before. What's your take on that?
I would say no. A lot of times they don't even have time to watch the audition.
Thank you
Not sure if I need to slate for the student film I'm auditioning for but that's helpful for future things!

What abt voice over tapes
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks
Should we have multiple Slates pre-recorded and how frequently should we redo our Slates?
You should record a new slate for every audition!

Hi there! For theatrical (tv/film) auditions, profiles are not necessary. Best of luck!
What if it is either theatrical or commercial and all they say is give me your slate. That is all they say... what would you do then?
Could have been a 30 sec video
