Want to create a self-tape reel that actually books work? In this video, I'm breaking down my exact 5-clip, 90-second acting reel formula that got me a direct call from casting. This is a complete guide for any actor, especially beginners, who needs to build a powerful demo reel without overthinking it.

We'll go through my full self-tape reel clip by clip, and I'll explain the strategy behind each choice—from the high-impact opener that proves you can carry a scene, to showing your type range, to the "capstone" clip that shows casting what you really want to book. Plus, I'll share the #1 technical tip you need (besides your phone!) to make your reel feel professional and cinematic.
