This might be one of our top 10 biggest questions:β

The TLDR version? π‘πΌ, ππΌπ π±πΌ π»πΌπ.β
β
Remember: you are (probably) already paying for an acting website that houses all of your materials (Actorβs Access). β
β
And we are primarily going to be viewing your materials via Actorβs Access alone (itβs Breakdown Services for us).
β
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. β
β
There are a couple of cost-effective options:β
β
1. ONLY update your reel on your AA. Donβt 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 weβre likely only going to click on that.β
β
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 itβs something we should be clicking on. β
β
Most importantly, your time is π«ππ‘πͺπππ‘π. Your time is π₯π§ππππ€πͺπ¨. β
β
Please make sure you are spending that time on things that are going to result in favorable outcomes. β
β
Spending 3 hours on Squarespace templates instead of auditing an acting class or reading a script, probably isnβt the best use of your time. β
