5 General Rules for Demo Reels
Before you get knee-deep into this endeavor, there are a few general rules you should consider
(by Jim Webb)
Are you putting your first demo reel together, or are you looking to update your existing demo reel?
How exciting!
You worked very hard and finally have enough good footage to create, or add to, your demo reel.
But, before you get knee-deep into this endeavor, there are a few general rules you should consider.
And, I’d like to emphasize the word “general”, because these rules may not fit each actor’s specific situation.
But I’ve found that they are pretty standard for most acting markets.

The Two-Minute Rule
A general, industry-wide rule of thumb to remember is that your reel should only be about two minutes long, and no more. Of course, the acting police will not come to arrest you if you break this rule and your reel goes longer than two minutes.
However, what’s the point of having a five-minute-long reel if everyone who views it will stop after the first minute or two?
