An actor website casting directors can actually use

An actor website works best built around three things: your reel, your headshots, and your resume, all easy to find without scrolling. We.inc's free plan gets a template like that published at no cost, and if you want the AI to write your bio and lay the site out from your credits and training, that starts on Starter at $20 a month.

Amber Sci-Fi Architect Portfolio website template for actors
Amber Sci-Fi Architect Portfolio: a We.Inc template that suits actors.

An actor website with your reel, headshots, and resume in one clean place. We.inc's AI builds it from a description of your work.

Pages every actor website needs

  • Reel: Embed your demo reel from YouTube or Vimeo at the top of the homepage. This is usually the first and sometimes only thing a busy casting director will watch.
  • Headshots: High-resolution, current headshots in standard formats, easy to view and download, since agents and casting directors often need to grab them quickly.
  • Resume: A downloadable resume in the format the industry expects (credits, training, special skills) plus a readable on-page version.
  • Bio: A short professional bio covering your training and focus (theater, film, voice, commercial) helps people unfamiliar with your work understand your range quickly.
  • Contact / Representation: List your agent or manager's contact information if you have one, or a direct contact form if you're currently self-represented.

About actor website design on we.inc

Reels, headshots, and a resume in one clean place. We.inc's AI builds it from a description of your work, free to start, AI editing from $20 a month.

Most actor sites are a template with the name swapped in. Describe what you do and the AI designs and writes an actor website around that business instead.

Features designed for your industry

  • Reels front and center: Embed your demo reel and clips from YouTube or Vimeo directly on the homepage, since that's the first thing a casting director will look for.
  • Headshots that download cleanly: A dedicated headshots page with high-resolution images casting directors and agents can view and download without hunting through a gallery.
  • A resume in the format the industry expects: A downloadable acting resume in standard format alongside an on-page version, covering credits, training, and special skills.

Who this actor website design suits

  • A theater and film actor with a reel, headshots, and a downloadable resume
  • A voice actor showcasing demo reels for commercial, animation, and narration work
  • A commercial actor linking to an agent's contact information and recent bookings
  • A student actor building a first professional site ahead of auditions

What makes an actor website work

The reel needs to load fast and play first

Put your best, most recent reel embedded directly on the homepage rather than linked from a separate page. A casting director who has to click twice to see your work may not click at all.

Resume format matters in this industry specifically

Acting resumes follow a standard structure (credits by category, training, special skills) that differs from a typical job resume. Keep the downloadable PDF in that expected format even if the on-page version is styled differently.

Update headshots and reels regularly

A site with headshots from several years ago or a reel missing your most recent work undersells you. Treat updating these as routine maintenance, not a one-time task.

Separate reels by category if you work across mediums

An actor doing theater, film, and voice work benefits from separate reels or sections for each, since a casting director looking specifically for voice work shouldn't have to sit through unrelated film clips.

What it costs

A domain with your professional name, like jordanreyesactor.com, costs about $10 to $20 a year. The free plan is enough for a straightforward reel-and-resume site; Starter at $20 a month is worth it if you want the AI to write your bio and keep the layout current as your credits grow.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an actor website cost?

Publishing a reel-and-resume site from a template is free on we.inc's free plan (up to three sites, no AI). AI-written and AI-built actor sites start at $20 a month on Starter with 250 credits.

What does an actor website need to include?

At minimum: an embedded demo reel, high-resolution headshots, and a downloadable resume in standard acting resume format. A short bio and contact or representation information round it out.

Can I use my own domain name?

Yes, custom domains and SSL are included on paid plans (from $20/mo), so something like yournameactor.com works from day one.

Should I have separate reels for different types of acting work?

If you work across theater, film, voice, or commercial work, separate reels or sections for each helps casting directors searching for a specific type of role find the right clips faster.

How often should I update my actor website?

Update headshots and your reel whenever you have significantly newer material, and your resume after any new credit. An outdated site can undersell recent work casting directors would otherwise see.
