Question:

Should I send out a demo reel with my package?

I will be doing a mass mailing to agencies in Chicago, NY and LA with my headshot, resume and coverletter, however now I'm wondering if I should send out a demo reel as well? I've gotten mixed opinions regarding it from actors and agents. Some say yay while some say nay. Any ideas or advice would be appreciated. Thanks!!


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I work at an agency and there's nothing they hate more then mass mailings. Most agents are friends with other agents so they compare the submissions they've gotten and if 5 agents see they've gotten the same exact packet from the same person it's like "oh so now I'm on their mailing list?"It's like junk mail to them. Pick a few agents that you really like and mail to those people. It's also a huge waste of $$$.
