Should I slate in Character?

That’s one of the questions that floats up during the four part podcast interview Voicebanks’s Tracey Patton has with Bob Bergen and Bill Holmes. Both are busy voice actors and teachers.

So when auditioning for character or animation roles, should you slate in character. Some say yes. Bob says “no” for a simple reason that make sense. If you slate as “you” and the “character”, you’ve just given the producer two voices. More choices. They love that. Just make sure you give them good seperation between the two.
