Things You'll Need:
- A: First, you should never feel stupid for asking a question. It's better that you ask it quickly and keep the flow of the audition going than assuming the wrong thing or ignoring the request altogeth
- What is slating? Typically when you slate, you state your name and the agency that sent you to that audition (when applicable). Sometimes casting directors will ask for your height, contact informatio
-
Step 1
Look directly into the camera, not at the casting director.
-
Step 2
Speak clearly and with confidence. Do not sound like you're asking a question. For example, say "Jane Doe." NOT "Jane Doe?" You know your name. Just take a deep breath and introduce yourself.
-
Step 3
Do not walk up to the casting director and shake his/her hand when you are introducing yourself. It may seem cold, but casting directors usually do not want to be approached or made direct contact with. Slate, perform, be polite…that's it.
-
Step 4
After you slate, wait for the casting director to prompt you to begin your performance, and then go right into it. There's no need to say anything else, just get to business.
-
Step 5
If you make a mistake or fumble the words, just try it again and move on. You don't need to explain a problem or excuse. It's better to just keep things moving.
