Chester

Showreel filming for Chester actors.

Chester actors are often working across both the North West and North Wales circuits — a reel travels further than either. Around 1 hour to a private Manchester studio, director-led sessions from £195.

Where do Chester actors film a showreel?

Chester actors reach the Actors Reels studio in Manchester in around an hour, direct or via Warrington Bank Quay. Sessions are £195 for one monologue and £295 for up to three, director-led and filmed in a private studio with 5-10 working day delivery.

Chester and the border

Filming from Chester.

Chester actors tend to work two circuits at once — the North West and North Wales — and submit to casting teams in both. A reel is the one asset that travels across that border without needing to be explained.

Storyhouse changed what is possible here. Its open-air Grosvenor Park season puts a lot of local actors in front of genuinely large audiences every summer, and the University of Chester feeds performers into it. None of that produces a file you can attach to a submission.

What to know.

Across the border

Planning the day.

Direct services run to Manchester in about an hour, and going via Warrington Bank Quay opens up more departures. If you are coming from Wrexham or Flintshire, Chester is the natural place to pick up the line.

Bring two or three prepared pieces and a couple of wardrobe options in plain mid-tones. Monologue showreels covers how a session runs, sessions & pricing lists what is included, and you can see the standard on the reels gallery before you book. To get dates, get in touch or call 0161 706 3220.

Questions

Chester questions.

Not the format, but it does affect material. Pick pieces that sit inside the casting bracket both markets will see you for rather than trying to signal a region — the reel is about you, not your postcode.

Chester, in almost every case. It has the direct Manchester services and far more of them, and it is an easy hop from the Wrexham and Deeside side.
