For young actors starting out it’s a lot to ask for PROFESSIONAL AMAZING QUALITY FOOTAGE like you can do a well lit monologue in your bedroom as a temporary reel until you get some short films or student films....
Beubeu George sure and do student films in your area for now, like for any teenager that’s completely fine, websites like backstage are good. Good luck.

Anyone else watching this as they’re editing a new reel?
don't mean to sound snarky, but why else would they search for "demo reel tips?"
@@njchad One doesn't have to be editing to have found this. I'm looking to do one soon and wanted tips
Me!!
This video gave excellent advice on how a reel should be. I'm glad I searched youtube before working on my reel to make sure I produce the best reel for myself possible.
Working on my new Demo Reel now and found this video to be very helpful. YOU, SHORT and GREAT QUALITY!!! Love also how Erica mentioned to start with our face and make it work for YOU and not the Actors your in the scene with!!
+Mykle McCoslin Best of luck in all your auditions. ;-)
THANK YOU TO THE GREAT AND POWERFUL OZ!!!
Mykle McCoslin Hahahah Not sure how great and powerful I am, but acting, being my 5th career now, seems to enjoy my company. ;-)
Earlier this year, I attended the Richmond International Film Festival and had the opportunity to sit in for the FLOW Panel. I got to show Erica Arvold and Anne Chapman my demo reel and it was all out of whack. Finally, I'm spending time to revamp my website as well as all the content on it. I had to refresh my mind on what tips Erica had said. This video definitely helped. In the midst of getting my new reel up and running! :)
Great advice!! So true that the quality has come up of productions in general so getting high quality footage is more accessible.
Working on my reel now. I don't feel I have enough (film/character) footage to put a legit reel together but thankfully I'm getting there with the film gigs I'm getting now. So YOU, short, and high quality. I'll remember that. Thanks :)
Now I understand and it helps me a lot. Hoping for my dream come true as an Actor.
I believe in you!!
agree with everything she says but smart phones these days can have amazing 4k camera quality. Nothing wrong with using that as long as theres good sound to go with it
Are these Casting directors completely bonkers to expect demo reels with HIGH QUALITY PRODUCTION VALUE from those who are trying to get into the business? Do they seriously think that novices have that kind of money just lying around their house?
Nuts
As a real actor .. you figure it out.. don’t complain
Thanks this was really helpful
Thanks 4 that info. I have 3 reels on my page all w a co actor but now when I do them I will shoot for me being the first face of the reel.
Oh my gosh! Richard looks like Mort from Bob's Burgers!
Thank you so much! I just found your channel and watched a bunch of videos! I'm a Mom managing 2 children starting out in acting. Would you please recommend where to look for good quality recording equipment? Any suggestions would help. THank you!
Very invaluable.....💸💸💰💰advice
Thanks for the Great Advice!
Thank you so much! Very helpful.
Super helpful! Thank you so much!
Hi, what is the difference between a promo reels and a monologue? Thank you.
Great information! Is there a particular neutral background that we actors should be using for video auditions, and demo reels? I use a light grey, almost ash color, and a very light pastel green.
blue and grey works really well I have seen on other actors
You should both be wearing mics. Sound could be much better for professionals.

How short should a demo reel be exactly?
awesome information!
Great
Great Info Thanks!
what if we were don't have access to high quality stuff and all we have is a phone and a small ring light
I can't believe this was 6yrs ago
What should be on the title & closing pages? Do I include SAG/AEA? my contact info?
Yes, just like the ones unaffiliated have to label themselves non union.
I think its laughable that "self taping" is a no no but footage from a 48 hr film is good... I stopped working on student films because the "filmmakers" don't know how to operate a camera, they usually use an slr with a kit lens in autofocus.
It really depends on the teams. I've done some student films that are really great quality and have moved on to festivals. Same as 48 hrs film festival films.
any body know anyone that does good demo reels? ??
useful tips anyways....
in so many auditions they just got a DSLR recording. lol... what is she talking about?
