Recording your first reel clip

What to say, how long it should be, and what to do with a bad take.

A reel is a short set of recorded clips an employer can watch instead of inferring you from paper. Each clip answers one thing.

  1. 1Open Talent reel and start a new clip.
  2. 2Allow camera and microphone access when the browser asks.
  3. 3Keep a clip to somewhere between 30 and 90 seconds. Several short clips beat one long one, because a viewer can pick.
  4. 4Re-record freely. Nothing is published until you say so.

Record where the light is in front of you rather than behind you, and check the audio before the picture. Bad sound loses a viewer faster than a bad frame.
