Do you slate your auditions? Why or why not?

Answer 1

No, I do not slate unless asked.

Answer 2

If it's a Voices.com type audition where I know the client will have to sift through numerous auditions, then absolutely! It's too easy and can be done in like 2 seconds. If I put myself into the mind of the client, I don't mind hearing the 2-3 second slate on an audition...and that's all it needs to be....my name and the client's/product's name.

And remember, it's the first time the client hears your voice. So the slate needs to be in the same style as the actual audition.

Answer 3

Just my name.  I want to give them as many times to come across my name as they can.

Answer 4

If it's required, yes. But usually no. The reason I don't is because my name and information is right there next to my audition (at least, here on Voices.com), I also put my full name in the name of the file, so if they download it, they can just look at the name of the file, see my name and viola.

Answer 5

Yes. Yes. Yes. ALWAYS. No matter where you are posting or how much you think your name won't get separated from the file. Always slate your name.
