the first sentence is so true . my show reel is terrible

Love this!

Thank you Andy! Looking forward to re-doing mine!!

Thx I’m a filmmaker from Poland, you got my thumbs and sub. Cheers

Really great stuff!! The obvious stuff that i exactly needed!!

Another great vid Andrew! 😁

In the process of creating a self tape showreel, needed this!

Thank you, this is really great, full of clear actionable information.

Great advice and will pass on to my students. Maybe time to do a new show reel myself.

thank you good points. definitely put your better scenes first because most likely they wont have time to watch the whole thing and definitely keep it under 4mins thanks again

Found it really helpful

Found his really helpful, except that everything on my reel is from actual productions, so much of what was said didn't even apply to me. But I highly recommend this video for those it may apply to!

Stage Milk really know their stuff. You will learn from these guys - they know the buisness and the people in it.

Amazing pointers!! Thanks for this video :)

Thank you

Great advice - as always! Thanks StageMilk

This is great advice, thank you ☺️

Thank you bro! I appreciated the ideas, points and explanations! (E.g. it’s better to have a good quality cheap showreel then an expensive one that’s considered bad), thank you! Raza :)

Thanks, I may have to redo mine.

As I understand it - today it's about clips, as showreels have become time and tedious with casting people. Most of the working actors I know still have their "old" reels available on their sites including IMDb, but use their clips for casting auditions.

Thanks for your video! LIKE!!! I am an actor from Ukraine and I act in films and TV shows. I also do commercials for European countries. What should you say about yourself in an acting business card? How long should an actor's business card last?

Hi, thanks for this. I'm wondering more how to title and structure these demo reels and don't see much info. Is there a title card with a headshot? Do you name and organize based on the style of production (i.e. commercial, tv, film etc)? Should I have different reels for these different genres? Do you name the show title and role ever in the clip? This is one of the better videos for naming mistakes but I wish someone would speak how best to specifically break down the demo structure with an example.

AGREE WITH EVERYTHING

Great ..

selftape it is! :D Thank you

Like the point of expensive or cinematic reels feel like reels, no need to pay for that and the point that they prefer self tape like vidio in which your acting is what they want to see. Good quality video n sound n good scenes is what you need.

Im a dancer but stil some of your inputs are great for me!

Thanks alot sir

If I may ask a few questions: 1. Does a showreel need to start with an intro with your name (and possibly website) or is that a no-go? 2. If some of your work is from a couple of years ago (but still better than your recent work), do you want to have it included still? Your most recent work is obviously wanted.

Should we have multiple reels for different things? Should I have an acting reel for TV/film, then a musical theatre reel for theatre? Should I then also have a vocal reel? I have only done theatre but want to audition for film and TV things as well and want to make sure my reels match what I am auditioning for.

Do you have an example of a good reel? Should you really just add 3 scenes max.

Alright I have a doubtful or more weird to conclude on type of thinking. If I can't use neither Bad production value "aka student shortfilms, indie films etc" and/or Too good production value "studio produced showreels" to my show reel. How on earth am I able to use any footage to present on an audition in this case given NO experience at all or experience coming down to only student short films/indie films? I dont get it. I believe if an actor is able to get student short films and indie films on his reel is much much better than nothing at all or spending loads of money on 1 made by a studio! Also, if you have a couple or more than a couple of short films on your belt, tis best like he mentioned to put the best one first and not good ones last. And if you have more than several, just pick out the ones you feel are the best of your showcasing and slap em in the reel and following what the lad has said in the video. But the contradiction to his steps is not putting in neither short films/indie films or studio produced ones your reel. After all you are trying to book a proper job. and what can you put in a reel if not either of those? Self tapes? Monologues made by you? Or even shooting and editing an entire short film yerself which is even worse than a student short film? Unless you yourself have made it with professionals which I doubt. Thats my point

what about commercials? Have those in a separate demo reel or put them in together?

Dang I feel like you really called me out there I wanted to do a dialogue (no action) scene from a Star Wars film really badly. Could you elaborate on why a little? Is it like infamous among agents or something?

ok

Is it okay if I did like just one 2-3 minute monologue? Or does it have to be multiple scenes with other people and stuff?

3000 Euros per month work like photographer and videographer and I go for it now with sober state :)

Just put how to do a show reel into google and you are my first hit. My son is 14yrs with experience in local shows/school shows/competitions etc and we want to know how to get him an agent. Does he need a showreel just as you’ve described for sending to agents. No experience here at all!

What if most of the scenes on my showreel are in a foreign langue? Shall I add subtitles in English?

Do shots for real life , beautiful life in the nature :PPP

Are monologues frowned upon in actor showreels?

My real is not made up. Do you have advice for more seasoned Actors?

Dont do shot for Yandex driver :D

Can you read your own script for self tapes.
