Header & Contact

Your name is the first thing a casting director reads. It should be the largest element on the page — not bolded to the point of aggression, not so delicate it gets lost in a stack of 200 submissions.

Slate auto-sizes your name based on character count, scales your union status below it, and places your representation on a single line — phone number formatted correctly, no period after the area code.

Auto-sizes name to never wrap awkwardly

FROM THE INDUSTRY

Actors who stopped submitting
and started booking.

"I can tell in four seconds if an actor took their materials seriously. When a résumé has proper column alignment, correct union formatting, and the credits aren't just a list of student films — that actor gets the audition. The format signals the professionalism."

"I'd been submitting the same Word doc for three years. The day I switched to Slate, I got a callback from a CD who said my materials finally 'looked like I meant it.' Booked a recurring role six weeks later."

"Fresh out of Yale and nobody warns you that your MFA doesn't come with a résumé that matches the degree. Slate made my training section look like the credential it is — not an afterthought."

"I'm a multi-hyphenate — actor, writer, director. Every other tool forced me into one box. Slate let me build a layout that showed all three without looking like a mess."
