Current Acting Reel
Here I am with another freakin reel. I know, know - it is endless- the time I put into these reels. I am oober happy about getting this reel together. Before the summer, i had this crappy acting reel that hardly showcased my abilities. These reels need to show what I can do. It’s not an option. I have learned the hard way that showing “good enough” material is just NOT good enough. If I want people to truly take me seriously, everything I present has to be just as strong as my dance demo reel. By the way, putting together a dance demo reel when you do a ton of dance ensemble work is incredibly easy. When you are struggling to get straight acting work, getting the right footage is nearly impossible. This summer, I got lucky. Not only did I get the great chance to do some fabulous plays, I also got permission to get selections of my performance on film for my demo reel. Putting together the acting reel was the hardest reel to put together. It is all about pacing. I had to watch each clip so many times I was ready to pull out my own hair. My patience helped to a degree. Eventually (and as always), I had to have someone else check out the reel. My eyes get tired of watching the same thing over and over and I eventually just need an outside opinion. Some more quick adjustments were made and now I have a new acting demo reel! Yay!
