A long trip, so make it count: the one-hour session takes three monologues rather than one. Around 2 hours 15 minutes to a private Manchester studio, director-led sessions from £195.
Hull actors reach the Actors Reels studio in Manchester in around two and a quarter hours, changing at Leeds or Doncaster. Because the journey is longer, most Hull actors book the one-hour session and film up to three monologues for £295.
Hull spent 2017 as UK City of Culture and came out of it with more confidence, more companies and more trained performers than it had going in. What it did not gain was anywhere to film a reel.
Hull Truck remains one of the most distinctive producing theatres in the country and the university's drama courses feed it directly. Actors here have real credits and a genuine regional voice — both of which are invisible without footage.
This is a two-hour-plus journey with a change, so plan it as a full day and make it worth doing. From Hull we would almost always steer you to the one-hour session rather than the thirty-minute one.
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.
For a single monologue, honestly, it is marginal — and we will say so. For a three-piece reel that lasts you two years, yes. The session is the same price wherever you travel from.
Yes. Tell us your likely departure when you enquire and we will place your slot so you are not sprinting for a connection at either end.
Book a session or just ask us a question — we're always happy to talk through your reel.
