Actors, you should ALWAYS read *all* of the instructions for your self-tapes, as they (and we) are all a little different.
But in case Casting hasn't specified certain things, here are some simple basics you can follow, (to protect your/your reps sanity): #minithread
Again, these are to guide you ONLY if Casting hasn't otherwise specified. (Read all of the instructions, every time, I beg of you!)
1. Slates: if Casting doesn't say where to put your slate, (beginning, end, separate) put it at the end. We should see your performance FIRST.
2. Slates (again): if Casting hasn't asked for a slate, it's still good to include a basic one, saying your name and height, (great if you can make it full body, but ok if you can't.) It's good for us to hear how you pronounce your name and get the perspective on your height.
