Follow the requested slate

If the team asks for name, age, height and location, give those details. Do not add a long life story.

If no slate instructions are given, a simple name, screen-age range, location and relevant language information is usually enough when a slate is required.

Use screen age honestly

Screen age is the age range you can reasonably portray, not the age you wish to be cast as. Keep it realistic and consistent with your current photos.

Do not lie about legal age when a production needs your actual age for contracting or adult-only eligibility.

Speak normally

Look toward the requested eyeline, speak clearly and keep your body relaxed. You do not need a special “anchor voice.”

Let a small natural smile or neutral expression fit the situation rather than forcing enthusiasm.

Do not beg for a chance

Avoid statements such as “please give me one chance, I will do anything.” They do not demonstrate acting ability and can weaken your professional boundaries.

End cleanly and move into the scene when instructed.
