Only 2 photos? :-(
I would love to hear all of your opinions on #1Who are some of your favorite/best acting coaches in the business and #2 Where to find the best acting classes/acting schools. I feel that everyone can always improve no matter how much training they have had. That is what this life is all about right? Live hungry!! LOVE and LIGHT to you all!!
What area of town are you in? I have taken class at MANY places and have my favorites for different reasons. But I can suggest a favorite that's closer to you and not all the way across town. What kind of class are you hoping for? Scene Study, on camera, audition technique, etc.?
Thanks for the tip Tiya!
Thank you so much!! I will look up both of those suggestions. I think word of mouth is way better than trying to find one on my own!!
Hi Guys, I'm after putting my first showreel together but I've only got two short films and one self-taped monologue to include. My thinking is that I should do more films to get some more material before I create one, but can anyone let me know if it's worth creating one with what I've got so I at least have a showreel? Thanks, Ciara
Yes, create it now. Don't get it done by a big expensive company as you will hopefully be adding to it soon. See if you can learn to edit it together by learning through youtube, or having a friend do...
Expand commentYes, create it now. Don't get it done by a big expensive company as you will hopefully be adding to it soon. See if you can learn to edit it together by learning through youtube, or having a friend do it. If your reel is showcasing good work, then it can get you that next job to add to it. However, if the little you have does not show you in your best light, it's better to wait. Hope this helps.
that's great, thanks a lot Tristen :]
As someone who works on low budget films and has occasionally been involved in casting, I'd say create what you can now but look for ways to be able to revise, add or remove material, as easily as you...
Expand commentAs someone who works on low budget films and has occasionally been involved in casting, I'd say create what you can now but look for ways to be able to revise, add or remove material, as easily as you can. Also based on show reels I've seen in the past, I'd suggest using the 'less is more' approach. That is , to the degree possible, hit the high spots and omit as much as you can without compromising your performance.
I'm visiting Los Angeles in early March for a week or two and want to fit in at least one or two Casting Director Workshops. Any recommendations? What are the best resources for locating workshops and classes? Thanks! Hope everyone who stumbles across this post is having a marvelous day! :)
Thank you for the great tip and question! I will be in LA starting in March as well :)
Good luck, Katie! Is it a permanent trip or a scouting trip?
Thanks! I'll be scouting for jobs and a place to live and so I'm looking to make it a permanent trip.

Expand commentI think you've done and excellent job here! This is light years better than most reels I've seen. If I had it my way, I would trim down the crying scene where you're tied to a chair. I would start it just before he tries to touch you for the first time and asks if you're alright. When I got to that scene, I could tell you were a good actress, but I was getting antsy for the reel to move forward. And I would MAYBE consider moving that to after the scene after it. Other than that, I think it's fantastic. Congrats!
