It doesn’t matter how old you are – it’s how old we believe you are. Nowadays I see more and more people putting their actual age and, speaking for myself, as long as you’ve taken note of point one above, it’s never made me not call someone in that I would have. So I’d say that’s entirely your call. Be truthful when listing accents and languages. When casting directors call you into a room they need to have confidence that you can do them (often at short notice) so try to only publish those you can do well and naturally. You can also add some audio to your profile to demonstrate the accents you can do. The content of what you are reading doesn’t matter, casting directors just want to hear that you can do a flawless accent. Having said that, please tell the truth. Being a highly skilled soprano, mezzo, alto, and bass all at once is highly unlikely, right? The right spot to place a floor lamp depends on the type of lamp you have and your lighting needs. If the lamp is designed for directional task lighting, you should consider having it above or behind a sofa, armchair or table. This way, the lamp doesn’t get in your way and provides the light you need. Different types of floor lamps provide different types of lighting. Standing standard lamps like ÅSTRID are generally for the benefit of the whole room. Task lighting on the other hand, like our RANARP lamp, focuses lighting in one area, perfect for reading or writing. Uplighters, like our NOT lamp for example, point towards the ceiling, which helps illuminate the whole room.

Casting directors can’t always watch a whole showreel so make sure to open strong. Re-editing your showreel can make it feel completely new and a simple edit can change everything. Make sure your strongest scene is at the beginning of the showreel. Don’t start with montages or still photographs, casting directors want to see you act. Self-tapes Take a look at your photos. Do they still look like you? Are there too many? Casting directors tell us they only like to see 4-5 images of various expressions so less is definitely more. You don’t need to add production shots, just photos from your most recent headshot session.

How do you choose a floor lamp?

Include relevant drama school credits if you’re newly graduated. Even though the role might not be your ideal casting, it may remind us of something about you. You can remove these credits as your CV builds…or when you’re 45! Call out your native accent. Unless you were born in four places, and then you’ve got some explaining to do!

Don’t lie. You’ll get found out! I once auditioned a girl who said on her profile that she had been in a show that had been produced by a friend of mine. I hadn’t seen the show and the actress was new to me so I called my friend to ask how she was. He was very confused, seeing as it was an all male cast. And that was the end of her!

Fellow performers, casting directors and agents like to hear what you have been up to. While a good flashlight has its place in your tool collection, if you need maximum power and range, you’ll need a spotlight. These powerful lights have ergonomic grips that are easy to hold for a long time, often with multiple handles for using them in different ways. Their wide lenses and bright lumen outputs make them an asset for emergencies, and they usually illuminate a wider area more clearly than flashlights can. Some spotlights even include a stand that lets you place them on the ground and angle them at your workspace so you can keep your hands free.

Where should you put floor lamps?

As a general rule, having lots of these types of pictures just shows that you’re not lying on your credit list and that you can wear a costume. It doesn’t tell us very much! So, unless there’s a really good reason to include them, I’d not go overboard here. Again, see the printing note above. Lumens indicate how much light streams through an area per second. Generally speaking, the higher the lumen output, the more light produced. A spotlight’s lumen output indicates its brightness power, but note that most lights begin to dim as the battery dies and as you use it longer. The higher the lumen output, the faster the battery drains, so if you’re in an emergency situation, make sure to use the dimmer mode or save your spotlight for when you really need it. How We Selected With dozens of different roles being taken on in the world of theatre, from performers and directors to technicians and artists, there is a place for everyone. At Spotlight Theatre we take the time to help people find their talent and nurture it. Whether they want to sing from the rooftops or design the rooftops themselves, each part is as vital as the next. We want you to have fun whilst learning important skills that can be applied to all aspects of life as well as the performing arts.

Whatever style you prefer, you’ll be able to find a lamp you like in our wide selection. How do you choose a floor lamp? Include the year. If you don’t it makes us suspicious that you’re trying to hide a long period of unemployment. Also please, please call out all the things you are highly skilled at. Don’t be embarrassed! If you’re brilliant at something – tell us. Often I will search only for those who are highly skilled at whatever I’m looking for. When looking to buy downlights or spotlights, it's essential to consider factors like the type of lighting effect you want to achieve, the room's size and purpose, and energy efficiency. LED spotlights are a popular choice due to their long lifespan, energy-saving properties, and versatility of colour temperature and beam angles. An LED spot light bar does not emit any heat, can operate on low voltages, and can handle being switched on and off without shortening their lifespan.

Light up your world! Illuminate your home with cosy and practical lighting from our standing floor lamps and standard lamps. Create a zen mood in your living room with a soft light in the corner. Or make reading a delight with some task lighting behind your favourite armchair or sofa. Include as much info as you can – the character, show name, theatre and director. We might want to know which version of something you were in or need to call someone for a reference so it’s all useful. But please spell everyone’s name right. It’s a little thing but it could lose you a job!
