Hi Kaustav. Hope your 2017 is off to an amazing start!! I'm interested in learning more about your film and the female role you're looking to fill. Hopefully we can help each other out!
Would anyone be willing to share their resume? I had mine formatted when I had representation a while ago but it's a bit out of date. I'd like to see an example of how other actors are formatting theirs. TIA!!
Thanks Zedrick! This was a great help!
Nice, Z. Thanks.

Hey everyone, I'm trying to put together my first demo reel but don't think I have enough professional material. What is your take on filming a monologue to include in the reel? Most casting notices ask for a demo reel, so I'd really like to put one together.
find a friend with a camera and shoot a little bit of footage. A reel only needs to be 1 minute.
You could do a series of 'scenes' instead of one reel. Some Casting Directors prefer scenes, anyway. I do both on my site: http://www.stevejames.ca/steve-james-vancouver---actor-videos...

Expand commentSomething that has become an acceptable practice for those that don't have a reel (or even those that do have them) is filming an audition piece. Say you come across a project that has a similar character to an audition piece you have recorded, you would then include that video clip to your submission in lieu of a demo reel. I have peers who like me, have TV credits and a full demo reel, whose representation submit audition pieces to projects, if they don't yet have a certain type of character in their reel that fits the character in the casting notice. A monologue can be used for an audition piece, and if you're submitting for film and TV, definitely use a film/TV monologue and not theater. If you are submitting a monologue make sure it is similar to the character you are submitting for.

My most recent role was playing the character Ivy, in the award-winning indie film, Daughter of the King. I've always had a natural curiosity for the development and behaviours of individuals, which has been a big advantage for character development. Acting is a passion I always come back to, so I'm jumping in with both feet. I look forward to working in commercials, TV series and feature films, while continuing to hone my skills as an actress. I'm looking forward to connecting with you!
Welcome Alyssa! Great to see you here!
