Member resources
Before anyone can hire you they have to be able to see you, understand you in about four seconds, and find you again. That is what your materials are for. Most actors have a headshot and a hope. This page is the rest of it.
Start with the classes Go to the libraryOrder matters here: headshots, then resume, then reel, then profiles, then social. Doing them out of order is why people redo them twice.
Three classes that between them cover every piece of material you will ever need.

Social Media, Branding, Press & Publicity
Social media, branding, press and publicity. Who you are online and why it should be on purpose.
Grouped in the order you should actually build them.
Choosing a photographer, what to wear, how many looks, and how to pick the ones that work.
Formatting, what counts as a credit, what to leave off, and what to do when it is thin.
Building it, taping footage when you have none, editing it, and examples of reels that work.
Your type, your lane, and being a specific person rather than a generically available one.
Actors Access, Casting Networks, IMDbPro, CastingAbout and the rest. Set up properly, they work while you sleep.
Instagram, X, Facebook, LinkedIn. What to post, what not to, and how much it actually matters.
A website, business cards, postcards, thank you notes and email. The old-fashioned ones still work.
One more thing. Every piece of material here is answering one question for a stranger: what would I cast you as? If your headshot, reel and profile each answer that differently, they cancel each other out. Pick the answer first, then make the materials.
