Deciding What To Write

Before writing a word we must decide what is needed for the Actor. A lot of variables can play into this.

Has the Agent or Manager requested a particular genre or character type?

Is there a genre or character type missing from their current clips or reel?

What type of roles or genres are submitting to often?

Which types or genres are you wanting to get more auditions for?

Types are the roles an actor fits well. These are usually naturally them based on personalilty or looks. Over time you will see a pattern based on roles casting often brings them on for. It should be no surprise or stretch to where an actor falls. Make clips that show their types within a genre.
