Actor's Slate

THIS IS A VERY BENEFICAL TOOL, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! --- JAYME
Use Coupon Code to get a free copy for our website: JP25

Hello J Pervis Actors,

The Actor Slate® team from Chelsea Studios in Los Angeles is coming to Atlanta for two days only – June 4th & 5th -- to shoot Actor Slates®.

An Actor Slate® is a professionally shot and edited general interview. It’s a moving, talking headshot. Completely unscripted. Just 60 seconds of you.

Once shot and edited, your Actor Slate® is hosted on Breakdown Services and Actors Access, making it available to casting directors instantly 24/7/365.

The basic price for an Actor Slate® is $175.00 – that’s to shoot, edit and host your Actor Slate® on Breakdown Services and Actors Access networks.

Most actors also purchase a personal Quicktime copy of their 60-second Actor Slate® for $25.00 and/or the Actor Slate Deluxe® which is a 2-4 minute version, for $40.00. These personal copies can be used on your own website, for direct submission purposes or for posting to popular video sites like Facebook or YouTube. More importantly, you can give a copy to your agent who can use it for submission purposes for local work when not using Breakdown Services.

We have made a special arrangement with Jayme to provide J Pervis clients with a special coupon code worth $25.00 towards the purchase of either or both personal Quicktime versions. In other words, you book the package that includes one or both personal Quicktimes and with the coupon you get the 60 second personal Quicktime for free.

To learn more about Actor Slate® or to book a shoot session on Friday, June 4th or Saturday, June 5th, please visit our website.

We hope you’re able to take advantage of this opportunity to expand your exposure to casting directors and have a tool that works for you and your agent around the clock.

Thanks.
