Your Profile

Fill in everything. That is the single most useful thing on this page.

Every field you complete is another way for someone to find you, and another question they do not have to ask before deciding whether to call you in. Every field you leave blank is a search you quietly drop out of, and you never find out it happened.

So add all of it. Your mini bio. Your More About Me. Every photograph you have, not just your favourite one. Every showreel, every voice reel, every CV, all your credits, all your links. There is no such thing as a profile that is too complete, and the gap between a half-filled profile and a full one is the gap between being found and being invisible.

Specifically for Actors #

Here is everything you can fill in, roughly in the order worth doing it.

Your Professional Name comes first. It is worth thinking about before you settle on it, because changing it later means rebuilding recognition you have already earned.

Then the two things people see before anything else:

• Your Headshots and Your Profile Pictures: upload every usable shot you have. Different roles need different looks, and the one you like least may be exactly what somebody is casting for.
• Your Mini Bio: one or two sentences, sitting directly under your photo.

The Details People Search On #

These are the fields casting directors filter by when looking for someone to play a specific part. Leave one blank and you are excluded from those searches automatically.

• Your Playing Age: the range you look like you can play, not your real age.
• Your Gender
• Your Ethnicity
• Your Type
• Your Profile Location: where you can work from, which affects which castings you see.
• Your Spoken Languages: one of the strongest ways to open up work across Europe.

Showing Your Work #

All of it, not a selection.

• Your Showreels: hosted on YouTube or Vimeo, then linked here. Add every one you have.
• Your Voice Reels: a short audio clip for each language you speak.
• Your CVs
• Your Documents
• Your IMDb Profile and Your IMDb Credits
• More About Me: the longer piece, for anyone who wants the full picture. Worth writing properly.
• Your Links

Who Can See It #

• Profile Visibility
• Who Can Contact You
• Vanity URLs: a short, memorable link to send to people.

Once It Is Up #

A profile is not a form you fill in once. Playing ages shift, showreels get better, languages improve. Come back to it.

• Auto Check Your Profile: we look for gaps and tell you about them.
• Your Search Statistics: how often you are actually coming up in searches.
• Boost Your Profile and Get Seen
