How do I upload a showreel to Showcast?

Showcast supports direct video uploads for showreels and clips.

To upload:

1. Log in and go to Profile → Media (or Clips).
2. Click Add Clip or Upload Video.
3. Select your MP4 or MOV file (up to ~500MB).
4. Add a title and short description.
5. Set a thumbnail.

Format:

• MP4 or MOV.
• 1080p preferred.
• Landscape only (16:9).
• Clean audio — Australian casting directors, like casting everywhere, bail fast on bad sound.

What to include:

• Primary showreel — your strongest work, under 2 minutes.
• Genre reels — separate comedy, drama, commercial if your work spans them.
• Individual scenes for specific recent credits.
• Skill clips — see the separate guide on skill clips for the technique.

What AU casting specifically looks for:

• Authentic Australian accent work (Strine, South Aussie, Queensland specifics) — if you do these, make them visible.
• Neutral American accent — Australian actors who nail this get more international submissions.
• Regional Australian roles — if you can credibly play rural / outback / Perth-specific characters, show that.

Tip:

The AU casting market values versatility. If you have range across comedy, drama, and commercial, splitting into 3 short reels often beats one long combined reel.
