Monday Myth Debunkers: You Need A Website.

This might be one of our top 10 biggest questions:⁠
⁠
β€œπ˜‹π˜° 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦π˜₯ 𝘒 𝘸𝘦𝘣𝘴π˜ͺ𝘡𝘦?”⁠
⁠
The TLDR version? 𝗑𝗼, π˜†π—Όπ˜‚ 𝗱𝗼 π—»π—Όπ˜.⁠
⁠
Remember: you are (probably) already paying for an acting website that houses all of your materials (Actor’s Access). ⁠
⁠
And we are primarily going to be viewing your materials via Actor’s Access alone (it’s Breakdown Services for us).
⁠
Unfortunately, AA does charge by the minute (we truly wish this was not the case), so this may influence some actors to house their updated materials on their website. ⁠
⁠
There are a couple of cost-effective options:⁠
⁠
1. ONLY update your reel on your AA. Don’t worry about the clips. We mostly only have time to click on 1 thing. And if we see a reel as an option, you can bet we’re likely only going to click on that.⁠
⁠
2. Upload your updated reel to YouTube or Vimeo and use that link in the submission notes (agents do this all the time). Let us know this is a link to your updated reel so that we know it’s something we should be clicking on. ⁠
⁠
Most importantly, your time is 𝙫𝙖𝙑π™ͺπ™–π™—π™‘π™š. Your time is π™₯π™§π™šπ™˜π™žπ™€π™ͺ𝙨. ⁠
⁠
Please make sure you are spending that time on things that are going to result in favorable outcomes. ⁠
⁠
Spending 3 hours on Squarespace templates instead of auditing an acting class or reading a script, probably isn’t the best use of your time. ⁠
