Hey Arlan, this is Karen from the Stage 32 team. I just wanted to let you know I moved your post from Acting to Your Stage (for links and promotions), as it fits much better there. But feel free to do another post in the Acting Lounge discussing something you’ve learned, unpacking a topic, or seeking advice. Let me know if you have any questions, and all the best to you!
Hi Arlan! Congrats on your reel! I’m a little confused why it doesn’t start with you? I would make sure your face is the first one I see so it doesn’t confuse casting directors.☺️
That's a really great note, Michelle Dionne Wardlaw - I would agree, CDs will look for your abilities, not for story context. They don't care, honestly LOL
Thank you Michelle Dionne Wardlaw and Karen "Kay" Ross for your notes! You're right now that I think about it. Kind of silly how it starts off with someone else haha. Any other suggestions? Should I chop up the scenes more or leave them how they are?
Are you working on anything currently? Do you have permission to share audition tapes you've done? I would take out anything that doesn't have your face or body in it and fill it with your best material, even if it's from scene study classes or audition tapes.

But don't take my word for it - why not ask fellow actors what they would recommend in the Acting Lounge? https://www.stage32.com/lounge/acting
