How do I add skill clips to Showcast?

Skill clips on Showcast let you visually prove skills that otherwise read as just a line on your profile.

To add:

1. Go to Profile → Media → Clips (or Skill Clips).
2. Upload your video.
3. Tag it to a specific skill from the dropdown.
4. Title the clip simply (e.g., "Guitar — Fingerpicking", "Mandarin — Conversational").

What to clip:

• Dialects and accents. Show a clean 20-second sample of each specific accent.
• Languages. Speak naturally for 20–30 seconds on a simple topic.
• Musical instruments. Play a recognizable phrase — 15 seconds is plenty.
• Physical skills. Stunts, martial arts, dance, horseback riding, stunt driving.
• Specialty skills. Juggling, gymnastics, magic, improv comedy (a clean short bit).

What makes a great skill clip:

• One skill per clip. Don't combine.
• Under 30 seconds — casting won't watch longer.
• Simple setup: plain background, good light, clean audio, no editing flash.
• Demonstrate fully. Don't hint — actually do the thing.

What NOT to do:

• Don't list a skill you can't clip cleanly. If you can't demonstrate "horseback riding" on video today, it shouldn't be on your profile.
• Don't use clips from old productions unless they show the skill clearly and are short.
• Don't voiceover clips with explanation. The demonstration is the thing.

Actors with 5+ skill clips get more type-specific auditions on Showcast, same pattern as on Casting Networks.
