Who this applies to

Talent of all tiers.

Step by step

  1. 1Start with a great headshot: natural light, simple background, neutral expression.
  2. 2Write a punchy 2–4 line bio that answers: what kind of work do you do, what are you known for, what are you looking for next?
  3. 3Fill in every attribute that applies (height, accents, skills, training) — casters filter on these.
  4. 4Upload a 30–90 second showreel if possible. Quality over length.
  5. 5List 3–8 recent credits in reverse chronological order.

Helpful notes & tips

  • Keep your profile updated quarterly — outdated credits signal an inactive account.
  • If you have a union card or certification, add it — it acts as a quick trust signal.

Common issues

  • Too many skills listed: focus on 5–8 genuine skills instead of 30 vague ones.
