I am a new actress starting and always searching for knowledge. Thank you for sharing your video filled with inspiration. Very happy I found your channel.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
@@StageMilkwhen I see calls they usually be broken down like 1. Slate, 2. Full body Shot, 3. Medium shot scenes/shots, etc… which means it is saying the order sort of ..
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
Excellent advice. But remember, there are rules..and rules Neo can be broken My " algorithm" make it fun for yourself and creativity,You will be more authentic, and won't worry about " their" expectations No one lost a job when the acting was good ,but the slate sucked

@@StageMilk 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 thank you I agree with ya 😎
You are amazing. Thank you.
Thank youuu!
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?
I usually just use first and last name. But you can check with agent or casting.
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
