Tips from Spotlight experts about how to make the most of your profile and your membership.<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
Keep your profile professional… it is not a social media account.<\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Updating Your Spotlight Profile<\/h3>\n

1.\u00a0Keep your professional credits up to date<\/a>\u00a0and spelt correctly. Make sure to fill out every field possible as casting directors will often search by production, director, etc.<\/p>\n

2. Keep your ‘About Me’ section brief, updated and relevant. If you’ve added details of a production you’re currently appearing in, once it’s complete, don\u2019t forget to move it to your credits. Use the space to give more details about\u00a0the skills which make you stand out from other performers. Reviews and awards can be included in this section too, as well as details about visas or passports if you live abroad.<\/p>\n

3. Make sure your current location is listed on your profile as casting directors frequently search via location. You can add up to three locations where you have an existing base on your Spotlight profile. For privacy and security, we will only display the region.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0You can add your\u00a0pronouns\u00a0to your profile. To do so go to ‘edit basic details’ at the top of your profile, scroll down and you will see a box saying \u2018further information\u2019 next to \u2018How would you like to be found on Spotlight?\u2019 , this is a free text\u00a0box where\u00a0you can display your pronouns.<\/p>\n

5. Ensure that you have a language and accent marked as\u00a0native<\/strong>\u00a0on your profile. This is so you\u2019ll appear in all of the appropriate searches.<\/p>\n

Be Honest About Your Casting Type<\/h3>\n

6. Always be honest about your playing age; you can publish very precise age ranges on your Spotlight profile. Only choose a range that you can realistically be cast to play, so take some time to reflect on this and check it regularly.<\/p>\n

7. Be truthful when listing accents and languages. When casting directors call you into a room they need to have confidence that you can do them (often at short notice) so try to only publish those you can do well and naturally. You can also add some audio to your profile to demonstrate the accents you can do. The content of what you are reading doesn’t matter, casting directors just want to hear that you can do a flawless accent.<\/p>\n

8. Be honest about what skills you publish on your profile. If you can ride a horse – great! – but don\u2019t list it if you\u2019ve only been on a horse once. If you feel comfortable using a skill on set or on stage then add it to your Spotlight profile. Make sure to always list any driving licences too.\u00a0Are we missing a skill that you want to add to your profile? Please email\u00a0feedback@spotlight.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Casting directors tell us they only like to see 4-5 images of various expressions so less is definitely more.<\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Photos\/Headshots<\/h3>\n

9. Take a look at your photos. Do they still look like you? Are there too many? Casting directors tell us they only like to see 4-5 images of various expressions so less is definitely more. You don\u2019t need to add production shots, just photos from your most recent headshot session.<\/p>\n

10. It\u2019s always a good idea to get a few opinions on new\u00a0headshots<\/a>\u00a0so make sure to consult with your agent, friends or family before uploading to your profile. The photo that you like the most might not be the most suitable headshot for your profile – that is why getting a variety of opinions can be really helpful!<\/p>\n

11. It\u2019s easy for you to add photos to your Spotlight profile. The photo management system can be used on all devices and allows you to upload on the go. Though we do recommend editing your profile on your laptop instead of your phone for ease.<\/p>\n

12. We all love sharing photos on social media, but sometimes a photo is better suited for your Facebook profile than your Spotlight one. Always keep in mind that your Spotlight profile is like your CV, so think about what a photo is saying about you professionally before adding it.<\/p>\n

Showreels<\/h3>\n

13. Entice casting directors to click and play your\u00a0showreel<\/a>\u00a0by using the title to describe what\u2019s in it. Edit the filename so rather than being\u00a0called ‘showreel 1’ or ‘file_3’ etc. it is actually descriptive eg ‘Scenes from Hamlet, EastEnders and a banking commercial’.<\/p>\n

14. Casting directors can\u2019t always watch a whole showreel so make sure to open strong. Re-editing your showreel can make it feel completely new and a simple edit can change everything.\u00a0Make sure your strongest scene is at the beginning of the showreel. Don’t start with montages or still photographs, casting directors want to see you act.<\/p>\n

Self-tapes<\/h3>\n

15.\u00a0Try to film a self-tape as soon as you reasonably can to give yourself time to fix any problems. We know sometimes it can be hard, especially if you have been given a short amount of time to prepare, but often the casting director will be eager to see tapes from the moment that the first one is submitted.<\/p>\n

16. When\u00a0self-taping<\/a>, shoot\u00a0in landscape (like a TV or cinema screen). Always shoot against a neutral background with good lighting so your face is clearly visible.<\/p>\n

Advice from Industry Professionals<\/h3>\n

17. Take advice from professionals who are working in the industry. The\u00a0news and advice section<\/a>\u00a0of the Spotlight website is a fantastic resource and is full of articles,\u00a0videos<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0podcasts<\/a>\u00a0from industry experts and\u00a0first person accounts<\/a>\u00a0who provide tips, knowledge and support.<\/p>\n

Be Proactive<\/h3>\n

18. Make a diary note each month to check in with your profile. Is it up to date? Can you remove any old information? Have you got any new skills to add?<\/p>\n

19. Why not try and grab a show or a film if you have a free afternoon? Have a look for workshops or acting classes which push you out of your comfort zone and help you learn a new skill.\u00a0The Actors Guild<\/a>\u00a0always have regular workshops here at Spotlight<\/p>\n

20.\u00a0Don’t be afraid to\u00a0promote yourself on social media<\/a>. Fellow performers, casting directors and agents like to hear what you have been up to.<\/p>\n

21. Make sure you have a professional email address and voicemail message. If casting directors, directors or producers get in contact with you directly, you don’t want them to have to email an address you created when you were 12.<\/p>\n

Castings and Auditions<\/h3>\n

22. In castings, it’s important to come into the room as yourself and show your ability to take on a role\/direction. Subtle hints of\u00a0what the character is like in your clothing<\/a>\u00a0can help the director see you in the role\u2026 but don\u2019t overdo it.<\/p>\n

23. If you can, try to be off-book for a casting unless you’re told otherwise. If you fluff a line just carry on – the director or casting director will call cut if they need to.<\/p>\n

24. Every\u00a0director<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0casting director<\/a>\u00a0is different so make sure to read all correspondence and audition information carefully. Check that you know the location, journey times and exactly what you need to do when you\u2019re in the room so that you can give your best performance on the day.<\/p>\n

25. And finally, remember, we\u2019re all in this industry to see and help each other succeed.\u00a0Auditions<\/a>\u00a0can be stressful and are often last-minute but never forget casting directors really only ever want to find the right person for the job so don’t fear them.<\/p>\n
