Do you have a showreel attached to your acting profile? You need one! In this mini episode of the Spotlight podcast, we discuss what you need to include to have the best shot at getting your next acting gig. Here's what you need to know to separate our your footage and put together your showreel (or 'demo reel' as it's known in the US!).
Our Audio-Visual Specialist Nicholas Peel is on hand to help us out. He's watched thousands of showreels in his 11 years at Spotlight, and answers all the key questions to ensure your showreel is everything casting directors want to see (and nothing they don't want to see!).
Find out more great advice about showreels on our website. For more industry info, tips and advice, check out www.spotlight.com/news-and-advice.
