If your Spotlight profile is your acting CV, consider this section your personal statement \u2013 a chance to mention useful and relevant information showing casting professionals that you\u2019re the right person for the job.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want your \u2018About Me\u2019 to really get you noticed, here are some tips and suggestions to ensure you\u2019re making the most of that 600-character limit:<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative; padding-bottom: 58.002148227712134%; height: 0;\"><iframe style=\"position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loom.com\/embed\/88c1f833107f44e5a6d9cca8190b346d?sid=b68e23c2-fc12-4c3e-a9b9-e74650747823\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everything is Searchable<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The \u2018About Me\u2019 section is one of only two free-text areas on your Spotlight profile. The other is your \u2018Training\u2019 section, which has a 1,500-character limit but isn\u2019t as immediately visible as \u2018About Me\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to remember that both sections are searchable to casting professionals. The information you write in them has the potential to bring you up in the results during a casting director\u2019s search via free text criteria, so make sure you\u2019re thinking about the information they\u2019re likely to search for.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep It Up to Date\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did you know that the \u2018About Me\u2019 section used to be called \u2018Currently Appearing\u2019 and its most common use was to highlight the productions you were currently working in?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your \u2018About Me\u2019 can still be used for this purpose, but remember to keep the information up to date and move the productions to the \u2018Credits\u2019 section once you no longer appear in them. If the first thing a casting professional sees is, \u2018Currently appearing in Romeo &amp; Juliet, March-April 2022\u2019, for example, they\u2019ll assume your whole profile is out of date and won\u2019t look any further.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Highlight Key Information<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have a skill or credit you\u2019re particularly proud of, use \u2018About Me\u2019 to highlight and elaborate on it. Maybe you\u2019re the master of a niche skill, or you\u2019ve worked with a high-profile director or on a big production? Try to make the most of your 600-character allowance with unique information that amplifies your profile.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You could also draw attention to information like having a valid passport or speaking a second language. Anything you think would be a unique selling point for yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Put Information in the Right Section<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re mentioning <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotlight.com\/news-and-advice\/important-spotlight-details\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">particular details<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with their section elsewhere, such as height, skills, or ethnicity, make sure you\u2019ve added it to those sections. Casting professionals are more likely to look for someone with a specific skill using the skill search than the free-text one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, it\u2019s best to keep information about your training, courses and exam results in your profile&#8217;s \u2018Training\u2019 section, not the \u2018About Me\u2019 section. Think of your \u2018About Me\u2019 as an area that needs constant editing and refreshing to keep it relevant and up to date \u2013 while \u2018Training\u2019 highlights and informs the casting professionals about your acting education, which will never be out of date. It can also be added to over time with new training accomplishments.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take Advantage of Hyperlinks<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any link entered into the \u2018About Me\u2019 or \u2018Training\u2019 sections will automatically become a hyperlink. Take advantage of this by adding your professional social media links, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotlight.com\/news-and-advice\/create-an-acting-website-tips\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">personal acting website<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and places where they can get tickets to see you in action.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your sibling, partner or parents are also on Spotlight, you could also include a link to their Spotlight profile. This is particularly useful if you hope to get jobs requiring family members to work together.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Useful Information to Include<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re unsure what information to include in your \u2018About Me\u2019 section, here are a few ideas:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have a visa, work permit, green card or right to work in another country, ensure that you provide details about it \u2013 especially if it\u2019s for a country you\u2019d like to do acting work in.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any information that doesn\u2019t fit elsewhere \u2013 such as skills or hair colours that aren\u2019t on our list \u2013 can be mentioned here.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Include any awards, reviews or achievements you are proud of. If you run out of space for reviews, you can also use the \u2018Training\u2019 section.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a TV series or commercial you worked on will soon be aired, feel free to add the time, day and channel to \u2018About Me\u2019. These are all opportunities for casting professionals to see you in action.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep It Professional<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Above all else, keep your \u2018About Me\u2019 section professional.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s okay to talk about yourself and your interests, but don\u2019t start listing your pets, every hobby you have and your favourite food. Consider what\u2019s relevant and how each bit of information will portray you as a professional actor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whatever you write, ensure it\u2019s clear and concise and remember: if you\u2019re ever unsure about any changes you\u2019re making, run them past your agent first. They\u2019ll know how best to present you and stop you from accidentally turning your \u2018About Me\u2019 into a social media bio.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take a look at our website for more <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotlight.com\/news-and-advice\/?tag=spotlight+experts\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tips and advice from Spotlight experts<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><b>More Spotlight profile advice:<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotlight.com\/news-and-advice\/important-spotlight-details\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Updating your Spotlight details<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotlight.com\/news-and-advice\/self-submitting-for-roles-on-spotlight\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to apply for jobs through Spotlight<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotlight.com\/news-and-advice\/how-to-use-the-spotlight-jobs-feed\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding the Jobs Feed on Spotlight<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spotlight experts share their top tips for what casting directors want to see in your \u2018About Me\u2019 and \u2018Training\u2019 sections and the most useful information to include.
