Why The Slate is so important to nail
Top Five Ways To Get It Right
The Slate reveals a lot about you! Not only does it relay the basic information on who you are, it also gives other clues about you as an actor and person. It tells casting how much of a professional you are or how green you are based on your comfort & delivery of slate. It also has the ability to give casting the only insight they may get initially into your personality using a self tape process.
1. Be Genuine and Comfortable. The last thing casting wants to see is a forced, phony, trying too hard version of you. Nobody does really. Use your Charisma to sell yourself. The same way you go about making friends. Be energetic, natural, friendly, conversational, upbeat, funny and memorable. Calm the nerves and be effortlessly comfortable. That makes you look cool. Don’t stress about making little mistakes, being human makes you desirable.
The Final Session
Do not miss out on this popular, unique class that is more important than you realize.
2. Use tech to Sparkle. Your self tape set up affects the final product. Make sure your lighting is great and balanced. This makes the video crisp. Use external audio if needed to produce crystal clear sound without echoes. Have a backdrop that compliments you and pops on camera. Trim your video to eliminate anything extra.
3. Learn to boost your Charisma. Being mindful of how you present yourself is key here. Charismatic people are confident, prepared, relaxed, engaging, genuine, funny, interesting, friendly and memorable.

4. Use the Personality to help your scene. Dialing in your charisma gives you the ultimate power, the IT FACTOR. Most of the reason you are getting called back or booked is based on it. It can also enhance your characters. Casting loves actors who make characters likeable.
5. Be Memorable. It is vital to stand out amongst the hundreds or thousands of self tapes. Imagine how boring it is to hear one Ho Hum slate after the next. Take a tiny moment to wake casting up and pay attention to you while giving them insight to who you are. Open with something else besides Hey, Hi, Hello. Be conversational do not just list facts unenthusiastically. Spare a second or two and give a fun fact or funny one liner. Then end on a positive note.
