I just got started with acting and auditions and all that, and after running out of cash for postage, I started going online. I saw this site called seemyreels.com, and I want to upload my reel to it. The problem is, I haven't acted professionally in anything, and I have no idea of what to say. I'm pretty versatile, and so I'm wondering how I could get this across in an original way. Any help?

Don't worry about it. If you want to act, Talent Agents and Casting Directors, at this stage in your acting career, will NOT ask to see a reel. It's a scam to separate you from your money.

You have no need for a reel right now. The last thing you want to do is try and create your own reel. If you want a reel, you need to find work in independent films and such. Then you can have a professional take the highlights of your work and create a reel. A home made reel is a bad idea and considered unprofessional. Forget that site and focus on acting and getting in a film.

I have been a working actor for over 20 years and I completely agree with the last post. The point you are at in your career and reel is useless and a waste of you money/time.
Advice? Take as many good auditioning classes as you can stand.
