You can then send this to Agents, Managers and CD's to show them what you can do. Alternatively it's a great way to add material you believe would be good for you to a demo reel.
Didn't get called in?
There is nothing wrong with sending Casting Directors at busy offices your demo, even if you haven't been called in. They are also looking to book that job so show them what you got!
Distance
Don't let distance get in the way of your career. In todays times there is no reason why you can't audition for any job all over the world. So do that tape and send it in regardless of where you are based.
SLATE SHOTS
Slate Shots are talking headshot's that are added to your still picture to bring your unique personality to life for Casting to see. No longer than 30 seconds, a couple of sentences about you.
We make sure our slate shots are high quality, with great lighting and sound to compliment your headshot. It is always best to show the best clear version of yourself.
Slate Shots are essential for every Actor. Casting Directors find this tool extremely helpfully to be able to see you as you, even if you have a reel or not. It is also extremely important to have a slate shot as it helps you get to the top of the viewing line on Actors Access and Breakdown Services. If your not on the first couple of pages of submissions, there is less of a chance to be noticed at all.
