À propos de cet audio
If you're new to acting or just getting started with self-tapes, there's one piece of the process you cannot afford to get wrong: the slate. In this episode of Take Fountain, talent agent Anthony Boyer and talent manager Jess Canty break down everything you need to know about slating: What it is, why casting directors ask for it, and exactly how to deliver a professional slate whether you're auditioning in person, via Zoom, or from your living room with a tripod and a phone.
We also dive into the difference between a front slate and a tail slate, and when it's smart to use each one. We'll also cover the often-confusing request for a full body slate - especially for actors who live alone or have limited space to film. You'll learn how to prepare clean, reusable full-body shots, how to present them professionally using split-screen edits, and why casting is more focused on your performance than your square footage. If you're building your audition toolkit or polishing your self-tape setup, this episode is packed with practical, beginner-friendly advice to help you stand out—and stay confident—every time you hit record.
