Why a Slate Shot is Important

Are you finding that you are not getting contacted for auditions?  Bring your personality to the party!  Slate shots are the way to do it.  We cannot stress enough the importance of  a slate shot!  If you want to get noticed, you MUST  do this and attach to your default photo, or do a couple and attach to all your photos on Actors Access!  THIS IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT!  Casting Directors are looking for them.

“Just my 2 cents – I am looking at them more and more (for those who have them)  I can get a better sense-vibe-etc. Especially those who aren’t getting into the room a lot, I strongly suggest it as it’s become a very valuable tool for me. I would highly encourage actors to use this feature.”  Steven Mann & Sarah Sheps, Mann Casting.
