Casting reads your headshot and your reel as one object. Shoot them on the same day, in the same building, and they finally look like the same actor.
Yes. Actors Reels runs a combined package in Manchester with a partner photographer, so your headshots and your monologue reel are shot on the same trip. One journey, one day, and a headshot and reel that match each other rather than showing two different actors.
An actor's submission is a headshot, a reel and a credit list, and casting reads them as one object. When the headshot is eighteen months old and the reel was filmed last week, the mismatch is visible and it costs you.
We film the reel; our partner photographer shoots the headshots in the same building on the same day. Same hair, same wardrobe family, same you — a package that hangs together.
A full headshot session with our partner photographer, David John Headshots — several looks, reviewed as you go.
A director-led monologue session, one to three pieces depending on the slot you book.
Retouched headshots and your graded reel, delivered as one package in 5-10 working days.
Yes. We run the package with a partner photographer in Manchester so the headshots and the reel are shot in one trip. One journey, one day off work, one consistent look across your whole submission package.
Because casting sees them together. A headshot and a reel filmed months apart, with different hair, weight or wardrobe, quietly undermines each other. Shot in lockstep they read as one coherent package.
Two or three tops in plain mid-tones for the headshots, plus your monologue wardrobe. Avoid logos, tight patterns and pure white. Bring anything you use to warm up, and give yourself a slow morning.
Book a session or just ask us a question — we're always happy to talk through your reel.
