INDUSTRY

As the creator of the “CSI” franchise, I personally comb through thousands of SpeedReels clients via the internet in search of new talent. I have used many of their clients on all three shows. SpeedReels is my ‘ace in the hole’ when looking for the next best think.”

Anthony E. Zuiker/Creator of CSI Franchise

The first thing I ask when I am pitched an Actor for a role is "does he have a SpeedReel?" It's simply the best ammunition an Actor can give his Agent and Manager..."

"SpeedReels is my right hand when it comes to on tape auditions. Because of them I have booked roles on CSI, Cold Case, and a slew of independant features. They are the ultimate professionals and always go beyond the call of duty to get the very BEST audition possible".

- Louise Linton

"My days of frantically scrambling together equipment, crew, readers and coaches are OVER. SpeedAuditions does it ALL, and cuts my stress down by 95%. I can focus more on the audition material, trust their feedback, and know that I'm putting my best foot forward. They won't let you leave the audition until you've done your best work. It's an incredibly empowering feeling to know that they have faith in you, and will work with you to succeed. No strings attached...they're there to help the actors."

Based on my SpeedAudition, I was flown to Chicago, given a suite and had a call back audition the following day in Chicago for the London company of A RAISIN IN THE SUN.

To SpeedAuditions, I wanted to thank you sincerely for putting together my audition for One Life To Live on 1 days notice. In less than 1 hour and for less than $75 I was able to submit my audition even though I was out of town on a family emergency and could not meet the casting director while she was in session. I got great coaching and several takes. I left with a dvd copy and an e-mailable audition link. I was flown to NY to test for the role and I know that was in part due to the quality audition tape you helped me produce. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

- Dawn Stern

"Speedreels has made self taping for auditions easy and an art. All of my auditions look and sound great, consistantly, all the time. and Taylor, Matt, or whoever is my reader, takes the time to read over the material and give me what I need to feel good about my audition. Thanks Speedreels!"

- Samantha Gutstadt

I've put several of my auditions on tape at Speedreels and I can' say enough about it. I have recommended it to all my friends, and once they've gone there, they've never gone anywhere else. The lighting (let's face it, is MOST important in these things) is extremely flattering. It looks grrrreat. The sound is pitch perfect. The readers are always helpful and advantageous to the audition. I've ALWAYS gotten great feedback from my reps and CDs on how it looks, whereas I've gotten major complaints from other places. A couple of the scenes were so good, that although I didn't get the parts, I was advised by my reps to put the auditions themselves on my reel because, it looks THAT good. (and of course my work was stellar :) ) Seriously, if you're going to go on tape, go to Speedreels. There is really no other alternative except to come across less than your best.

SPEEDREELS

I've gotten so much great feedback from directors and CDs about how well my reel shows up on SpeedReels. The convenience of having the link available through Actors Access makes every audition my manager or I submit for that much better, and it allows the people doing the hiring the ease of having all the material right there for their consideration. It has definitely made a big difference. And you can quote me on that!

- Michael Yurchak

I love SpeedReels! I recommend them to anyone and everyone. It is by far the best money i've spent to help my acting career.

- Blake Robbins

I would like to say that dealing with you has been fantastic. I am an actor who just wants to work. I am not a techno savvy internet guru. When it became apparent that the “industry” was going internet, I thought “I’m dead”. But you guys really made this quick, easy and painless. The fact that someone can just go to SpeedReels and see my work is fantastic. I thank you, big time.

- Barry Eisen

If you want to work, you need to blaze directly through to the top. Quickly and professionally. You can have all the talent on the world but if you aren’t accessible, what’s the point? With SpeedReels’ help I’ve landed movies with Oliver Stone, David Fincher, Michael Bay, plus multiple series regular roles. You want to work? Get SpeedReels.

- Andy Lauer

SpeedReels has been a wonderful asset in marketing myself as an actor. Not only do my agents use it regularly to get me audition appointments, but it's also very handy to send as a quick link when time is of the essence and casting people or directors need to see my work instantly. Plus their customer service is extremely responsive and helpful, which I appreciate. What a great service!

-Suzanne Ford r

"I am a very satisfied Speed Reel subscriber and can recommend it to anyone. They provide an excellent service at a very affordable rate, and they offer many perks, including being linked with Actors Access. Matt is a great guy, completely available, professional and easy to work with and their offices are a very pleasant environment, run by people with the best attitude towards their customers and who know what they're doing. Any questions will be answered and solutions will be found. No stress ever!"

- Patrizia Milano

I booked a short indie horror film, "Young Death" based off of my SpeedReel alone! The director was very impressed and I met her for the 1st time the day of the shoot. 6 months later I worked with the same Director, Abra Chouinard, on another film, "Living Surfaces."

- Tracey McCall

I have been very happy with SpeedReels, and have booked jobs directly from the reel, without an audition!! What more can I ask for? Thank You SpeedReels for your professionalism and quality work, we appreciate your service!

EDITING

“Working with Speed Reels in creating a one minute demo helped me define a clear and concise marketing tool for the industry to view my work. They know how to hit the “money shots” and create a reel that really highlights what the casting directors want to see… YOU!”

- Pamela Holt

My experience with SpeedReels has been nothing short of professional and valuable. From the editing capabilities to organization of clips, they have exceeded my expectations. My Manager and Agents have all commented on how professional and up to date the SpeedReel is and plays and how casting directors have made the same comments. Thanks SpeedReels for making my craft that much more accessible and clear for others to view.

- James Carraway

I absolutely love the editors at SpeedReels! When I went in, I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted, or how I was going to get all of my material into a concise 60 seconds. My SpeedReel editor was so on top of it. He had great suggestions, knew what to cut to keep the funny, and now I have a diverse one minute reel that I'm proud to show off. Thank you SpeedReels!

-Romi Dames

SpeedReels is a dream for the busy actor. In an afternoon we were able to create a get-to-the-point, exciting and creative one-minute reel from my 8 minutes of material on my old reel. I was so impressed by SpeedReels' ability to edit down to the best one-minute, that I went back and had them create my full reel (at just three minutes long!). In each instance, the staff was incredibly helpful in their eye for selecting the best scenes, and for "cutting out the fat." They were sensitive to my preferences and opinions, as well. I felt like they really cared about making my reel the best it could be. And you know what? They did just that!

- Monette Magrath

I've had such a great experience with SpeedReels! Everyone loves the seamless way my reel is edited and how it really features my work even if i was not the main character in the scene. It's been very easy to upload and post everywhere, and because it's only a minute long I get a lot more views that when I used a traditional 5 or 6 minute reel for everything. I also had them edit my longer traditional reel and even though it gets used less in this fast paced market I get great comments on it as it features ME and MY WORK without cheesy fillers or stills so that cd's get a great picture of my range and ability. I also love that they are very cost effective and never waste my time.

- Comika Beaudry

I've been with SpeedReels pretty much since the beginning. They're great people to work with and the site has been very effective for me in the industry. Become a member, you'll be glad you did.

"SpeedReels in an absolutely amazing resource, and Matt is awesome! I searched around town for the best 'bang for my buck,' and if I had to do it all over again I would go back to SpeedReels in a heart beat! I was trying to add in some scenes that would showcase what I can do as an actor because my reel was a little thin, and using the SpeedReels service was invaluable. I had a clear idea of what I wanted going in to the session, and Matt helped me refine it, resulting in some really great tape. People have actually commented that the scenes I shot at SpeedReels look tons better then the footage I have from network shows! Thank you Matt, you are one skillfully awesome dude!"
