It is the best artist directory in the world\u2026 and I\u2019m not just saying that because I\u2019m writing this blog for them! Whilst it\u2019s career suicide not to have a Spotlight page, just having one isn\u2019t enough either. You must make the most of all the information fields that your page allows so that casting directors have the best possible chance of finding you.<\/p>\n<p>In this blog, I\u2019m going to talk you through the page and let you know the most important things to do (or not do) to make your page stand out in a very crowded crowd.<\/p>\n<h3>Headshots<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0Spotlight gives you the option to have more than one picture but be selective about how many you choose &#8211; no need for the entire contact sheet. Remember, most of the time we have to print these so that\u2019s a lot of wasted ink!<\/li>\n<li>This sounds obvious, but you\u2019d be surprised. Make sure your headshot looks like you. The first cut we\u2019ll make is whether you look right so if your headshot isn\u2019t a true representation of you, you may well lose an audition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Stills\/production shots<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>As a general rule, having lots of these types of pictures just shows that you\u2019re not lying on your credit list and that you can wear a costume. It doesn\u2019t tell us very much! So, unless there\u2019s a really good reason to include them, I\u2019d not go overboard here. Again, see the printing note above.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"quoteFull\"><strong>Location<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>It seems silly but this is really important. If you\u2019re based in Aberdeen we need to know that, as it may affect our expenses budget so at least we can flag it up with your agent when calling you in rather than going through four recalls only to find that you can\u2019t afford the travel and turn the job down!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Playing age vs. actual age<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>It doesn\u2019t matter how old you are &#8211; it\u2019s how old we believe you are. Nowadays I see more and more people putting their actual age and, speaking for myself, as long as you\u2019ve taken note of point one above, it\u2019s never made me not call someone in that I would have. So I\u2019d say that\u2019s entirely your call.<\/li>\n<li>Be realistic about your age range. Unless you have some sort of magical powers to morph your face, you\u2019re unlikely to be able to play 16-50. Don\u2019t laugh, I\u2019ve seen that before!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Appearance<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Casting directors often search by appearance. List as many as you could believably be cast as. Please note the word \u2018believably\u2019!<\/li>\n<li>Tell the truth. You can\u2019t be all things to all men, so just be proud of what you are.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Show\/voice reels<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Only include these if they\u2019re good. Of course they\u2019re incredibly useful but you singing a cappella in your bedroom is of no value to anyone. I can only speak for myself when I say that, as someone who only works in theatre, I don\u2019t ever look at\/listen to reels as I want to see\/hear you live in the room.<\/li>\n<li>For more tips on what makes a great showreel, take a look at\u00a0<a title=\"Nancy Bishop on the importance of having a showreel\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SoEzDDtJ73A&amp;list=PLyx7_0jJECLqyESe_bn0ST5PpQnAKti1A&amp;index=13\">this video<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Credits<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Break your credits down into categories. It makes it so much easier for us to be specific about what we\u2019re looking for.<\/li>\n<li>There\u2019s the facility to add a sentence or two (in the &#8216;About me&#8217; section) about what you\u2019re currently doing\u00a0 or have most recently done. If you do include dates please make sure you set yourself a reminder to go back and edit them. It\u2019s no use saying you\u2019re appearing in a show on a certain date if it\u2019s 3 months old! Don\u2019t use this to repeat anything that you\u2019ve got in your credit list, although if you\u2019re in a long running show it might be useful to say when you\u2019re leaving so we know when you\u2019ll next be available. If you\u2019re going to put review quotes here, keep them brief! And keep them current. I\u2019m sorry to say that nobody cares that the local paper thought you were a marvellous Annie when you were 8 years old!<\/li>\n<li>List in chronological order with the most recent first.<\/li>\n<li>Include the year. If you don\u2019t it makes us suspicious that you\u2019re trying to hide a long period of unemployment.<\/li>\n<li>Include relevant drama school credits if you\u2019re newly graduated. Even though the role might not be your ideal casting, it may remind us of something about you. You can remove these credits as your CV builds\u2026or when you\u2019re 45!<\/li>\n<li>Include as much info as you can &#8211; the character, show name, theatre and director. We might want to know which version of something you were in or need to call someone for a reference so it\u2019s all useful. But please spell everyone\u2019s name right. It\u2019s a little thing but it could lose you a job!<\/li>\n<li>Keep your page up to date. If there are no credits listed for three years, I\u2019ll assume you haven\u2019t worked for three years, not that you just haven\u2019t bothered to add your recent fabulous credits. Unless you\u2019re Judi Dench, then you don\u2019t have to. I know you\u2019re good\u2026!<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t lie. You\u2019ll get found out! I once auditioned a girl who said on her profile that she had been in a show that had been produced by a friend of mine. I hadn\u2019t seen the show and the actress was new to me so I called my friend to ask how she was. He was very confused, seeing as it was an all male cast. And that was the end of her!<\/li>\n<li>Be concise. Whilst you should give us as much information about yourself as you can, be sensible as to how long your profile is (see printing above). I don\u2019t need to read about 17 commercials and 45 corporate jobs going back 12 years.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Accents, dialects and languages<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Only put down ones you can do, in case you are called on it. Pakistani and Welsh don\u2019t actually sound the same in reality\u2026<\/li>\n<li>Call out your native accent. Unless you were born in four places, and then you\u2019ve got some explaining to do!<\/li>\n<li>Being able to order a beer in five languages does not constitute being multi-lingual so, again, only list languages you could genuinely read a script in and make some sense of.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Music, dance, performance, sports and other skills<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>These sections are so important. You must list everything you can do. You never know, I may enter a search for a \u2018trumpet playing mezzo soprano\u2019 and if you haven\u2019t listed them as your skills I\u2019ll never find you.<\/li>\n<li>Also please,\u00a0<em>please<\/em>\u00a0call out all the things you are highly skilled at. Don\u2019t be embarrassed! If you\u2019re brilliant at something &#8211; tell us. Often I will search only for those who are highly skilled at whatever I\u2019m looking for.<\/li>\n<li>Having said that, please tell the truth. Being a highly skilled soprano, mezzo, alto, and bass all at once is highly unlikely, right?<\/li>\n<li>Pretty much everything that has been invented in the world as a skill is listed in that section so if you can do it, tell us! You have no idea what sort of obscure nonsense we\u2019ll be looking for. Being able to juggle fire whilst scuba diving will never go against you and you never know, it might be exactly what I need!<\/li>\n<li>Having said that (again), don\u2019t say you can drive or are highly skilled at shark wrestling if you aren\u2019t. It would be mighty embarrassing if you couldn\u2019t, and possibly very expensive if the production only finds out once they\u2019ve flown you to the Seychelles!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Training<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Tell us where you trained and when you graduated. Most of us have been to your showcases and, whilst we may not immediately remember your name, this might help to jog our memory. Also the simple truth is that, as a huge generalisation, good training creates good graduates so it\u2019s an important piece of information for us to be reminded of.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Danielle Tarento is a freelance producer and casting director.
