How long can my cuts be?

Think “audition cut”. In general, aim for 1-2 minutes but don’t worry about counting the seconds! There’s always room to extend if the material demands it. This is part of our online consultation and we will help you find the perfect cut.

what material works best?

The choice is yours! We recommend that you choose material that focuses on story telling and fits perfectly in your range. Show the industry what you can do, rather than what you can’t.

who will be in my session?

Our standard package requires a camera operator, a director and musical director. Estelle, our session host will also be on hand to welcome you and ensure you have everything you need during your shoot.

What do I wear?

Just like when you get new headshots, bring options. Avoid busy patterns or straight lines. Logos and brands can also be distracting.

will i get directed in my reel?

That is up to you! We believe in collaboration, but this is your reel. We want to showcase your work and give you the platform to create. We respect your time and want you to be in control.

Can I get support with music preparation and cuts?

Yes! That’s part of the package. Your musical director will be able to assist in cutting your song and making sure you have everything you need to prep for your session if you’re not confident with cutting music.

How long do edits take?

We aim to have your reel back to you within two weeks. During this process we will share updates and give you the opportunity to feedback on your chosen take.

Do you use auto tune?

We celebrate honest and authentic showreels. None of our reels will be auto tuned.
