So Much Talent in Demo Reels

by

I have recently scene some of amazing demo reels put together by some highly talented people. For anyone who may question if these people are really THAT GOOD; I want to say yes! I don’t understand what some people’s hang ups are with demo reels. I think you can get a good taste of a person’s abilities from a demo reel. Seriously. And just think, if it looks that remarkable it looks on film, think of how much better it is live. I honestly wish everyone had access to a demo reel. Unfortunately, many people don’t have the money, the equipment, or the skills to put it together on their own.
… Maybe I am bias to these talented people because I have had the opportunity to work with them, see them perform, and to have been blessed to learn from them. These great people are working regularly, yes, but I want so much more for them. I guess there may not be enough room on Broadway or something? Really? Well, then make room! I think audiences are really missing out on all that is out there.
Alright, alright … here is a dance demo reel from a talented person who has made it big. He is fabulous, right?

Well, … so is she …

… I just really want all of us who love this so much to make it …
