Step 1. When you reach out to us, we’ll first respond to confirm that we can access all your footage. Don't worry if your footage is difficult to access or download. All you have to do is let us know where we can find it and we'll take care of the complex downloading, converting, etc. Note: Generally, you can use almost any footage in your reel without needing to get permission (as long as you keep the clips short and don't intend to sell or make money off the footage). *We are not lawyers, but you can read more about Fair Use for demo reels here. Step 2. Once we've confirmed we can access and edit everything, we’ll email you a link to place your payment so we can get started. Step 3. Once payment has been placed, we'll schedule a date for your edit session ("Expert Guidance" package) or you'll send us your edit notes via email ("You Direct" package). Step 4. At that point, we’ll take care of everything - downloading and converting your files, editing them together, adjusting color balance and sound on the clips to make them look professional, and finally sending you back a private link to see the cut. The "You Direct" package typically takes a few days, and you'll receive a link to your reel via email. The "Expert Guidance" package is done live over Zoom with you. We'll share our screen so you can see your reel being created in real-time before your eyes, and then the finalized reel will be sent to you same-day! Step 5. At that point, if you’re happy with the reel, you’re done! But if you still have further adjustments you want, you can email us with any change requests and we’ll take care of them within another day or so. If you need your reel converted into a specific format for easy upload onto casting sites or sharing via email, just let us know – there is no additional charge for that. |

I couldn't be happier! From start to finish the experience was positive. I chose their "Expert Guidance" option and found their knowledge of the industry and perception of my work very helpful. They looked at over 12 scenes and helped me quickly reduce it to six.
The fine tuning of the reel was smooth - I really felt like they wanted to hear my input - and the final product is excellent. I just started submitting it and have already gotten several auditions (truth!). I will definitely be back when it's time to do a new reel and I absolutely recommend that you check them out for yours as well. |
I had a wonderful experience. I had some materials to be compiled into a reel and the Demo Reels team was super professional, responsive and careful. They helped me choose what was best to include in the reel and also helped me find out what my "types" were. The end result was a good quality video for a great value. Thank you so much! |
They were beyond helpful in aiding me in creating my first reel. They made sure to take a lot of time, energy and effort to ensure I was totally happy with my reel and went out of their way to explain all about what makes for a strong actor demo reel. Would most definitely recommend them to anyone needing reel editing services. Their attention to detail is unprecedented and that's why I believe they're the best! |
Hey I'm Martin, and I appreciate that you've taken the time to check out Demo Reels! At least a few times a month an actor we've worked with tells us their new reel footage helped them land a dream role or secured them an agent or manager. It's amazing to hear about everyone's success, and I hope it continues for each of our clients. A little about me – I've helped actors land on Broadway & get recurring television roles through my actor consulting work, I've interviewed successful actors, agents, and casting directors, and my headshot work has been featured on billboards in Times Square, in The New York Times, and in The Wall Street Journal. I graduated from NYU in 2011 with an honors degree in film production, and am currently in post-production on my second feature-length film called Dakota: Dedicated to My Best Friend. In 2009 I founded City Headshots, which, according to Yelp and Google, is ranked the #1 headshot studio in New York. |
Hello! My name’s Ryan! I am a videographer and Photographer based in Brooklyn, NY and I’ve previously worked on acting reels and voice over demos for various NYC studios since graduating from Purchase College School of Film and Media studies in 2020. My experience has given me the opportunity to work closely with major talent agents in NY and from around the country. During my time in college I produced 2 short films that will soon be taking the festival route and I am happy to say that I continue to work on various, creative independent projects whenever an opportunity arises. My passion to create top quality photo and video content has led me to Demo Reels where everyday I’m always looking forward to highlighting your best performances! |
