Separate topics: all one tape, or separated into each take and slate as separate videos? This highly depends on the casting director and the project, so refer to the taping instructions. IF NOT STATED, *for TV/Film*, I would go with separating each take and slate and moving your slate to the back.

Some CDs prefer all one video (especially for commercials), and in that case, I'd keep your slate at the front.

This came up as an offshoot from the earlier topic, so just wanted to clarify above!

Also: PLEASE make sure to label your tapes - i.e., Sc 1, Take 1 - Joe Smith. Sc 2, Take - Joe Smith.Slate - Joe Smith." (Please defer to the taping instructions of course! If not listed, the above labeling works great). You want to make sure that if you're separated from your tape, or your tape is downloaded, it's correctly labeled so we know who it is! :)

Thanks guys!!

Casting tip! :) Did you know, when submitting a film or TV audition, it's helpful to put your slate and full body shot LAST? That's called a tail slate, and it helps us get right to the meat of your audition! Always follow the taping instructions provided by casting for each particular project, but as a general rule, tail slate for Film/TV. :)

This is the type of things we go over in my beginning and intermediate classes - helpful tips, rules of the road, and we answer any questions you might have on auditions, casting, what to expect on-set and everything in between! All classes taught by industry professionals (casting directors and agents).
