Video Reels

IN MY OPINION;

WILLIAM REYNOLDS,

TAPED AUDITIONS;

It has become more and more common for directors/casting directors and producers to ask for a 'REEL" , a tape showing the actor performing, so that they may see and hear them perform a short script or a monologue or two. These reels are  normally not more than two or three minutes and are professionally filmed and edited and can be fairly expensive. 

However they are, in many cases essential. For example our agency just got a casting from Los Angeles for a new tv series to be filmed in Ga and other parts of the South. This is not a one shot wonder, it's a TV SERIES. Many, many actors have became famous from those series.

 Example, Johnny Depp on 21 Jump Street and Jennifer Anniston from Friends and many, many more.

Unfortunately when the producer and director has to run all over the USA auditioning actors for roles it can become a daunting task. This is where the reel comes in. Lets see that first. So they tell us from those they selected from our website to 'self-tape an audition from home in absents of a reel. And you can imagine what some of these look like. There it was, a chance of a lifetime came and went. You might entertain thoughts of getting something done so you will be ready when this occurs. Right?
