Character Training and Demo

First, let’s talk about what a demo is and what its purpose is for you in your career. A demo has one major function and that is to show your range. Too many casting directors, and producers think a single audition may be enough to hire you for the gig. They hear you read their script and they hire you. But in many cases they’re also going to wonder, “Well what else can this person do?” They will want to look at your demo reels to find out. This helps particularly in situations where they may need you to do more than one voice. Will this work well for animation and games? They want to know, “Okay, I had him audition for this character, but what else can they do? Can I fit the talent into multiple roles and save money in my project?”

In situations where a client may not have a script ready for you to audition yet, they may just be looking for a certain style. This is where they will begin looking through demos. There have been many times in a session where people have been hired without an audition and say, “Okay well we really like your spot on your demo where you did Atlantic Bakery. Can you take that style and apply it to our project?”Finally, you definitely need a demo when you’re trying to find an agent.

Do you really need a demo?

Yes. The trick is to find someone honest, who trains you well before you ever walk into the studio. Besides, you need to know what the industry is looking for. Your demo needs to have several genres and you need to know what they are. If you are not ready for a demo, don’t record one. You are wasting your money. I say this to protect you. Demo production can be a waste of time, due to the fact that there are people who may not have your best interest at heart but more importantly they don’t have a clue what the demo should include.
