Slate Shots are an invaluable tool for every actor's Actor's Access profile.
Having a Slate Shot, along with other video footage of your work, bumps your Actor’s Access submission to the top of the pile and lets casting know you're a smart actor who knows what's up! It’s also a great way to show casting your resting energy and give them an idea of who you are outside of a character.
Kelly can help your slate shots look professional and polished while reflecting YOU! She likes to keep the process easy and fun. Shooting your Slate Shots will be the easiest part of your day!
Kelly urges actors to have a slate shot for every “look” up on Actor’s Access and to style yourself as similarly as possible. Please inquire for rates and packages: callowayklein@gmail.com
Testimonials:
"Not only is Kelly efficient, quick and thorough, she has a wonderfully honest critical eye for a good and true take that you will be more than happy with. Actors will be in a safe, supportive and sincere environment. More than satisfied!! I will go to her every time."
-Brendan Burke (Fallout, American Rust, Ramy, For Life, Manifest, Orange is the New Black, Gotham, The Knick)
"I've worked with Kelly for many years. During that time, I have tried different people when she wasn't available or just seeing what's out there. But I continue to come back to Kelly, because it works! We communicate or, more importantly, she communicates [in a] way that I find helpful, encouraging and direct. I know she pays attention to details that I do not see because I'm focusing on doing the scene. That's why I keep coming back: because she's the perfect guide and that second set of eyes that I need to do a self tape that I'm confident and proud of. In short, when it comes to self tapes, she's my 1st choice."
-Pooya Mohseni (Law&Order: SVU, Big Dogs, Falling Water, Madam Secretary, English, The Sex Party)
"I love self-taping with Kelly Klein. Her helpful direction and suggestions are like getting an acting coach included in the session. I highly recommend her - just don't book her when I need her!"
-Geraldine Leer (Inventing Anna, The Other Two, Manifest, Feed the Beast, Law & Order, Mystic Pizza)
“I've been working with Kelly at Calloway Productions for several years now for my auditions, even through Covid. She fosters a collaborative, supportive process. Kelly provides a unique perspective from her experience as a casting director, and offers a helpful eye or redirect that I often hadn't considered. I highly recommend Calloway Productions for your next self-tape or coaching.”
- Martin Fisher (My Fair Lady Nat’l Tour, Wu-Tang An American Saga, New Amsterdam The Blacklist)
“Kelly Klein is brilliant! I have been coming to her for audition self-tapes and coaching since 2017. Not only is she highly professional—quick to respond with scheduling, etc.—but she is full of endless ideas, creativity and ingenuity when it comes to what to do with a script and character. I have booked roles every year with her support, getting results. She has also been instrumental in my development and learning as an actor. I cannot recommend her enough!!”
-Marissa Feinberg (Fleishman is in Trouble, Games People Play, Crown Lake, The Missing)
I am able to use Kelly for my self tapes no matter where I am virtually..which is a game changer! Kelly will always find the best in me and I always leave the session with incredible takes that produce Bookings/Pins/In The Mix results. Her patience and ability to coordinate her schedule to make it work for both of us is invaluable. Kelly does her homework and comes prepared with the breakdown of the character and the research of the show before we even start. Thanks for allowing me to shine!
-Mya Michaels (FBI, Conviction, Shadowhunters, The Strain, Falling Skies, Nip/Tuck, Everybody Hates Chris)
"I’ve been working with Kelly Klein since we were still doing self-tapes in her studio. When lockdown hit – she was all hands-on-deck choreographing my equipment set-up for virtuals. Working with Kelly is like mixing a cocktail. We toss in the ingredients of script and character. She stirs it up with her spot-on coaching, keen eye, and some out-of-the-box takes. Et voila, we’ve got a self-tape! Kelly knows her craft, she knows the business and she knows me. She never disappoints!"
-Donna Del Bueno (Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game, Law&Order: SVU, Girls, Gotham)
Kelly Klein is a wizard! I first started working with her in person and soon after we moved to virtual coaching. The transition was easy because she is master at helping you with your at-home set up. With Kelly, nothing about the self tape process is diminished when moving to virtual. It is just like she is in the room! I’ve come to realize that her left and right brain are equally brilliant. She is both a fastidious technical guru and a brilliant creative artist. Her acting notes are insightful and applicable every time for every role. Most importantly, she is patient, kind and supportive. She gets the absolute best out of you because she is a perfectionist and treats your work as if it is her very own. She is just an exquisite virtual coach who understands every aspect of self-taping and auditioning.
-Janet Greer (Awkwafina is Nora from Queens, Girl, Interrupted, Homicide: Life on the Street)
"Kelly is the best! She takes her time to work with you to get the best out of you. I have booked several jobs from her coaching. Her self tapes are catered to get you the best results! She truly cares for your success!"
-Sulekha Ebelle (Billions, The Blacklist, Gotham, Power, ER, Scrubs, The Tick, Brothers and Sisters)
"Want a great tape that will show CD's and your reps you're dead serious about the audition? Tape with Kelly. Her coaching alone is really worth the price of admission, but on top of that you walk out with a really fresh looking tape, edited to perfection. She's often managed to make me look "camera ready" when I'm far from it!"
-Nick Job ( Mank, She’s Gotta Have It, Billions, Blindspot)
"I use Calloway Productions for all my "self-tape" auditions and Eco-Cast Submissions. Kelly is always available and very flexible for my taping needs. Thank you for your professionalism!"
-Jay Santiago (Ghostwriter, Criminal Minds, Blue Bloods, The Purge, S.W.A.T.)
"I have used Kelly countless times, and let me say, she offers incredible quality for extremely reasonable prices. If you have a self tape audition coming up and you really want to blow casting directors away, I cannot recommend this girl more!"
-Lyndsey Anderson (Blue Bloods, Forever, Quantico, National Lampoon’s Snatched)
“Kelly is the absolute best! She is well-organized, dedicated, and quick. I love that she understands the process of what an actor has to go through. She is very honest and is fabulous in coaching!!!”
-Khalid Rivera (Russian Doll, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Broad City, The Haunting Of, Most Likely To)
“Kelly is such an amazing person. I know that what we do could be seen as “putting a scene on tape,” but for that hour we are working our butts off to bring scripts to life. She’s an extraordinary director. I learn so much from our sessions as an actor and walk out feeling creatively fulfilled. I am so appreciative of having someone I can constantly collaborate with — and if acting work comes out of it, it’s icing on the already delicious cake!”
-Aixa Mastrangelo (Law & Order, Satisfaction, The Hunt w/ John Walsh, Street Justice: The Bronx)
