Actors hate doing audition slates.
However, these are a necessary and important part of every audition. In this video I outline what is the "perfect" slate and what we can do to make sure we are putting forward professional audition slates. Enjoy!

Thank you - for commercials we usually slate first. (USA)😊

@StageMilk 11 ай бұрын

Yes always go by the instructions. Commercial that is more common, but lots of US casting like it at the end for film and TV.

Question at 3:35 is the full body slot ok to be vertical video with the black on the sides for those 3-5 seconds or would that be a no and look too unprofessional

How do you slate for live theatre. I have a great teacher and director. I know you mentioned tv and film but I like to know about live theatre

@StageMilk Жыл бұрын

Usually they will specify what they need just like any other slate. However, if they haven't given you anything at all, I would follow the steps I outline in this video: Name, Agent, Height and Location. And then do a wide shot for 3-5 seconds.

"You don't want to be Tony Robbins." That would be a pretty INTENSE slate! 😂

Love the videos! I just got one question because it caught my attention. Is keep the tone of the character always a good thing to do in the slate ? I just thought maybe playing the character but in the slate being my natural self would show a type of range in a since if that makes since 😅😅? I'm still learning please give me your input

@StageMilk Жыл бұрын

That’s a good point and definitely a valid choice. You can really play here whatever you think works for the audition. I think often they want the “right” person more than a “transformational” person.

Should the slate be at the beginning or end of the video?🎬

We talk about the end in this video- that is my recommendation unless the brief says otherwise

Absolutely! And as I highlighted in the video, always follow the instructions, but if nothing is given you can use the suggestions of the video.@@DarkCloudLightFF7DCL

Thank you so much, do you have to give you full legal name in the slate or you can go by the name you want to give in the industry i.e first and middle?

@StageMilk Жыл бұрын

I usually just use first and last name. But you can check with agent or casting.
