Performers used to have one shot to nail their audition in a studio,
but we are now in an age of technology in which actors looking to break
into the business may be smart to first shine on the smallest of
screens.
Online video has quickly become the popular way for
stage actors to be seen. Tim Grady realized the need for theatrical
video reels in 2012 when he was working a gig at Maltz Jupiter Theatre
in Florida. As the guy with a Flip cam, he was constantly being asked by
cast mates to record them singing so they could send clips to a New
York audition they were missing. “I kept thinking while I was filming
actors that there had to be a way professionally to put yourself
together in a three-minute reel that shows off your acting, singing,
dancing abilities and then present that to casting directors,” he says.
So Grady founded Tim Grady Films—a
professional reel-making service catering to musical theater
performers. “The need for a theatrical reel is becoming as necessary as a
headshot and résumé,” he says.
