Acting : First demo reel by Alyssa Vetere

Alyssa Vetere

First demo reel

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.

Things have changed so rapidly over the last few years. What was never acceptable before is now the norm. Love to get some actor/casting director perspectives on this question.

Stephen Foster

find a friend with a camera and shoot a little bit of footage. A reel only needs to be 1 minute.

Steve James

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
