Showreels:

I believe you can make your own and it shouldn’t cost money! This is how you do your

own:

. FILM HORIZONTALLY!

. 3 SCENES

. 1 MINUTE EACH.

. EACH SCENE SHOULD BE CONTRASTING.

. THINK ABOUT THE 3 CHARACTER ACROTYPES YOU CAN PLAY.

EXAMPLES: COMEDY BESTIE, ROMANTIC LEAD, VILLIAN ECT. (THINK ABOUT USING

YOUR REGINAL ACCENT, IF YOU HAVE ONE).

. Find plays, TV shows, Film. Don’t go with things to obvious or popular. ( like don’t do

something from Little Women, or some dramatic scene from Marriage story )

Find free scripts via BBC WRITERS ROOM. - https://www.bbc.co.uk/writers/scripts/

. DO DUOLOGUES! AGENTS AND CASTING DIRECTORS DON’T VALUE MONOLOGUES

AS MUCH. THEY CAN BE USEFUL BUT IT IS FAR MORE INSIGHFUL TO GUAGE

SOMEONES TALENT IF THEY CAN BE PRESENT AND LISTEN IN A SCENE AND THE

NUANCED CHOICES THEY MAKE WITH ANOTHER CHARACTER. AS WELL AS BEING

ABLE TO DELIVER YOUR OWN LINES AND THE CHARACTER CHOICES YOU MAKE

WITHIN THAT.
