CURRENT HEADSHOTS?

If your headshots are a couple years old, you may be in need of some fresh images. Anytime your appearance changes, whether that’s a hair style or color change, you’ve aged, or your weight has changed significantly, it’s time for some new shots.

Make sure all your headshots are current so there aren’t any surprises for the casting director when you walk into the audition room. If you only have one or two shots, consider getting more looks to show a variety of characters. The more photos to submit with, the better.

A headshot is your ticket into the industry and a crucial element on your profile.

‍

UPDATED RESUME?

You are constantly building your resume when you book roles. Make sure all credits are listed on your profile. Casting directors and agents will be looking to see your experience. You’ll also want to make sure your training and special skills are regularly updated. Agents like to see talent who are continually training to stay competitive and learning new skills to be more marketable. Remember, do not list any extra roles on your resume, only credited roles count. The resume order is as follows:

FILM, TELEVISION,  THEATRE, COMMERCIAL (on request), TRAINING, SPECIAL SKILLS

ACTING DEMO REEL?

Do you have a demo reel on your profile? Well, five years ago a demo reel was helpful to your career, today it is the strongest marketing tool an actor can have. A demo reel will open doors that a headshot and resume alone could never open.

Theatrical Demo Reel

A theatrical reel displays scenes of your best acting. Casting directors and agents can be a fan of your work before they even meet you! When you start submitting theatrically to talent agencies, one of the first things they will look for is one of these. Don’t make them use the delete button, instead wow them with a current demo reel.

Commercial Demo Reel

A commercial reel is one of the most competitive assets to your profile and is very useful in securing a commercial agent. It shows exactly what kind of commercial actor you are by showcasing your personality and skills. The Northern California market is heavy in commercial work. If you want to stand out from the crowd, this is the reel to get.

Voiceover Demo Reel

Open up new opportunities for yourself as a voice actor with a voice over demo reel. It’s simply the only way to impress potential clients or agents. This reel can show off your voice over skills and showcase your range. Adding this to your profile makes you extremely desirable when submitting to agents for representation across the board.
