Everything You Need To Know About Demo Reels For Actors

Any actor, aspiring or working, has encountered a request for a demo reel. It can be quite intimidating when you're just starting out. And it can be just as intimidating for those of you with experience under your belt.

A demo reel is a brief compilation of clips of your best acting performances.

At first, it may sound simple to assemble. Just take your clips, mash 'em together and you're done, right?

Well, a lot of people take this approach and end up not hearing back from the casting directors. Even if you have incredible clips and performances, the single easiest way to butcher their value is by presenting them wrong.
