This is only for actors who want to audition for on camera acting roles and have an agent or manager and or trying to seek representation. An acting demo reel will consist of on camera acting work you have already done on tv, commercials, films, etc (NO THEATRE). If you have some content from previous work and would like to create some new content then this is right for you! You will be paired up with an industry professional from Spec Labs team that will help you create your brand new acting reel. If you don’t have a lot of previous footage, that may be okay, as we can write and film a new scene for your reel. This reel is the actor's calling card and is meant to be submitted continuously for prospective clients and auditions.
