SHOWREELS FOR PERFORMING ARTISTS

A showreel is video material of you acting or singing or what ever your performing skill is and is helpful for giving casting directors a sense of who you are as a performer. If you have one, you absolutely should add it to your profile. But if you don’t have one or you’d like to improve your existing one, but what should you include?

In summary:

A showreel is a simple thing, it’s not about being beautiful, it’s something practical showing you talking, singing & acting

Casting directors want to see you and what you can do so gear the showreel around yourself, or you with one other person

The beginning of your showreel is important so start with your best piece of work

Showreels should be around two minutes long, three minutes at most

Try to use recent material

Don’t feel you have to show everything, just show your best work that represents you

If you don’t have enough material to show two or three scenes, one good scene is enough

Don’t include a soundtrack – casting directors don’t want to see what you look like to music.

PLEASE NOTE!
My services DO NOT include showreel filming. My expertise and experience is in editing – If you have existing material together we can edit and compile your footage into a compelling reel. Simply deliver me the footage you’d like to use (in any format you have), we’ll chat about what you’d like and we take it from there – discussing scene selection, edit choices, and style.
