Casting director advice for talking about show reels.

These days it is just a few short videos of you performing so that panels can see "who you are"

No one expects it to be professionally recorded just make sure you as a performer are clear to the camera and you include a range of content. for example not 5 video's of you just tapping.

# data[].attributes.body
This is an example of a perfect vocal reel for musical theatre auditions and jobs. There are many reasons why it is eye-catching and will be remembered.

-Her singing clips are short and catchy singing the perfect length for a panel to be able to hear her voice, but not too long that it gets too much for the team that they skip the content.

-She sings lots of different styles of songs for example she did some classical singing followed by musical theatre( seventeen) from Heathers the musical, followed by Disney. From this she is showing a wide range of vocal styles and therefore more employable.

- It is extreamly clear who she is at all times and her name and the song/musical is displayed at all times.

-naturalistic makeup/nothing too stagey that doesn't make you look similar to your natural look

-make it similar to how you would look in an audition setting/ easy to pick out of a group

hair off your face, not covering any of your qualities

wear a colour that suits you and your skin tone/ this will help you stand out

have a variety of different looks, including different colours and styles

don't keep changing your head shots, as casting directors get used and start to remember your look/ change your head shot if you have changed your look for example dyed your hair.

Try to have no shadow on your face.

# data[].attributes.body
This is an example of an incorrect head shot for the performing arts industry especially musical theatre.

-Her hair covering her face is a very bad idea as the team can't see your face properly which means the team can not see your whole imagine.

-she isn't looking at the camera/making her look unfriendly and no engaged.

This is an example of a professional head shot, as it is clear and enhances the performers nice quality's for example her nice skin and naturalistic make up which is exactly what the team would want to see. They don't want to see photos that don't necessarily look like them as they are harder to pick out of a crowd

Here is another example of a west end performer currently in "Mamma Mia" on the west end. She has her professional head shot as her profile picture and her agency linked. Masie also has where she trained in her bio, this is a positive as in the musical theatre industry everyone knows everyone and putting a good school on your page where you have trained says a lot about a performer.
