Ep. 231: Should You Add an Intro Video to Actor’s Access for Faster Acting Auditions?

Are casting directors skipping past your Actor’s Access profile? Here’s how to stand out - before they even hit play.

Most actors don’t realize they can upload an intro video to Actor’s Access - even though it doesn’t offer a designated slot like Backstage does. That’s exactly what makes this strategy so powerful.

If your current reel titles are bland, or your personality doesn’t shine through early, casting directors may scroll right by. But a quick, well-labeled intro video can act like a digital handshake that gets them curious.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

1. A sneaky but smart way to post a personal intro video on Actor’s Access (even if it’s “not allowed”)
2. The title mistake that makes your clip invisible to casting pros
3. Three scroll-stopping title formats that highlight your personality and hook attention fast

Learn how to turn your Actor’s Access profile into a true attention-grabber - without changing the platform itself.
