Step by step

  1. 1Bio: 2–4 short paragraphs. Lead with the work you do, not where you studied.
  2. 2Credits: title, role, production company / director, year. Group by medium (TV / film / theatre / commercial).
  3. 3Media: 1 hero headshot, 3–6 alternative shots, and 1 showreel. Add self-tapes only if recent and strong.

Helpful notes & tips

  • Credits with links to IMDb, production websites, or streaming pages look more credible.
