Demo Reels: Very Simple:
Please begin by introducing yourself in a casual, conversational manner.
Using the above scenario and your own dialogue, stage a scene or series
of scenes in simple skit format showing how you would play the character
in such a situation. For ideas on staging, props, etc.. actors can go to the
internet ActingWorkshop 32 and use scenes depicted there as a basic
guideline. Actors should concentrate on depicting the character and not
making a feature film - a very basic production possible with simple home
video equipment is more than sufficient.
There is no fixed time limit on demo reels - to be quite blunt we have enough exper-
ience to know when to quit watching - or on the other hand continue to the end in
the case of a really compelling performance - you be the judge.
**We represent a broad based international audience and encourage those from
diverse ethnic backgrounds to audition.
