I've been busy lately trying to find work. The threat of running out money looms ever present, so I've made efforts recently to try and avoid the breadline, as it were. This fear has led to productiveness, as I've both updated my voice-over demo reel, and created a long overdue acting reel for myself. I finally added the Disney on Ice spot I did

I actually did have a Benny clip in there, but I opted to take it out. I wanted to keep it as recent as possible, and I just felt the Benny clip wasn't as good as the others. The nice thing about editing your own reel is you can update it whenever you want. As for the structure of it, I took the advice of a former Fredonia grad living out in LA who has created many a demo reel in his day. The reason I only use the phone number is because the rest of my info will always be included in either the e-mail/letter I'm sending or on the webpage where it is listed. The more info I put in the slate, the more time I have to leave it there, so I put the most important piece of info I can give them.

Thanks! I learned something today about making an actor's video reel! ^_^;;

Are you sure, dude? I'm almost positive I either sent you an e-mail or a PM on the X-Strike messageboard when I received it. In case I didn't, I apologize, and thank you for doing that for me. The spot on the demo is actually not the real commercial, believe it or not. Roy and I agreed that we weren't thrilled with the background music, or the take they used, so I got a hold of the raw audio from Edge Studio, and we made our own commercial that sounds better, IMHO.
