But you said...or five things to include in your actor's website

So, I made a goal for a post a day and I already missed my deadline. I feel rotten about it, I really do, but here's the thing: there's no excuse.

So, I'm sorry and I promise to do better. Now, back to business.

Here are five things to include in your website, should you choose to create one.

#1 Headshots

This should be obvious. I recommend incorporating your headshots into your title page in some manner.

#2 Resume

Ideally, this should be dynamic so you can update easily. I also recommend including a link to download a PDF because agents like this sort of thing.

#3 Reel

If you don't have a reel, try to include some sort of visual material to show agents and casting directors what you look like on camera.

#4 Clips

See number three. This is also excellent to provide BTS (behind-the-scenes) clips from production before a finished product lands in your lap.

#5 Social 

This is critical. If you could incorporate a stream of social media posts to your page, even better. I also recommend creating designated Instagram, Twitter and Facebook accounts just for your acting endeavors.

So, that's about it. Short and sweet. Have a subject you want some insight into? Let me know in the comments below.
