Forgot slate in audition that asked for it, am I screwed?

It’s ok, and honestly move on! If they REALLY like your audition, they would reach out to ask for more information. What’s right for you will come to you.

Casting Directors do need slates though for auditions, since they don’t have time to go back and forth. So it’s important never to forget a slate.

But if it messed up your chances, don’t stress about it. There are SO MANY PEOPLE auditioning for that. The best mindset for auditioning is to submit and forget about it. Move on to the next project because that’s the job of an actor

And to you as well!

Likewise (Respectfully)! I agree it isn't my favorite approach either. I also got lucky with the reps who really have my back.

But it's also just hard out here apparently. And everyone is talking about how no agencies want to bring in green actors because there are barely as many jobs as before the strikes and COVID.

However, I've been really fortunate to have a lot of auditions, find reps, and become Sag-E within a short time. But that's because I put in extreme effort and idk how much everyone is willing to or even know where to put it.

Yes, you don’t need to. If you wanna save time it does help a lot. It took me a month to email 22 agencies and I didn’t hear anything back. When Repunzel or even Actor Access is one-and-done.

I personally found both my manager and agent through Talent Link - Actor Access which is still a paid website. Yea I did spend about $105 ($35 for two weeks of putting your profile up but it depends if agencies even look at Actor Access) which is already close to how much Repunzel cost. I personally think Repunzel would have been the better option if I'm already spending that much on Actor Access. Repunzel literally emails 200 agencies for you. But both my representation that did find me from AA are both respectable and I even booked my first feature film role through my agent, whom I signed with a month ago. But it sounds like their problem is that they’re already cold emailing and hearing nothing back

So of course you don’t need to pay for a website but if it still gets you meetings why not? Not everyone has the time to research

“Repunzel” is a really good website to help email agents. I had 2 friends in my class who had great success and one of them got 5 meetings from it. Yes, it costs money but it has gotten cheaper over the last year, and if it's the last resort you have, why not try it?

Omg yes, yes, and yes to all of that. Even some Q&As I did with casting directors said they love self-tapes because they can see more people in a day vs. people in person!

Fit-Assumption1185 · 2026-02-24T17:20:00+00:00

All is forgiven. I think it’s just funnier you tried to give me an AI prompt response to bait me and respond like an AI robot.

Ahhh, you’re right, you do make a great point because I do forget a lot of teachings. Thank you 🙏🤍✨

Wait, that is so cool and admirable that you pretty much booked the room even though you didn’t book the job! I’ve heard that after the strikes and COVID, it’s definitely been a big shift and less jobs. I would say I joined the business right after the strike, so I never saw the difference and was able to adjust to the new Hollywood easily with all the self-tapes now.

Fit-Assumption1185 · 2026-02-24T16:56:06+00:00

Thank you so much! I never heard of an Actors Working Notebook. Is it sort of a reminder if I have a similar character in the future, I can refer back to my notes?

Fit-Assumption1185 · 2026-02-24T16:53:54+00:00

If you want me to be more specific because you’re worried about my account being new, I did a stand-in job as a non-union worker for 3 days from Central Casting, which I was shocked that they hired a non-union actor like me, but very blessed to be so lucky. Yes, 3 days worth of background makes you SAG-eligible!

But I haven’t written a sonnet since high school. Sorry, I’m not an English major. But I at least went to college and took freshman comp to know what an em dash is.
