And Now…

The Reel PROs Main Arena is composed of professional actors who are legally 18 and above. These actors come from one of two Reel PROs arenas, Reel PROs 2 (18-26) and Players (27-on), by invitation only. Main Arena members are working actors who cold-read at performance level-plus. Through further instruction in workshops by casting people, they focus on honing their audition skills to an even sharper edge.

It is because of the Main Arena that Reel PROs' reputation is so strong. The casting directors, and at times producers, who instruct in the Main Arena know the quality of actor they will meet, and come expecting more from this group than any other in the industry. And the actors consistently meet that expectation through their continual education and application. Reel PROs has built a reputation no other workshop company can come close to duplicating because of it. In fact, Main Arena has had as guests CDs, directors, and producers who were not "workshop instructors" available to other companies: they came only to the Main Arena to share their insights, suggestions and years of experience. (Click here to see Who's Who of Reel PROs Guests.)

The way the monitoring process for new Main Arena members works is thus: Reel PROs auditors monitor the workshops of RP2 and Players specifically to seek out potential Main Arena talent. When this team of auditors finds an actor whose work matches the criteria established for Main Arena, the actor is invited to join. Only actors who are already members of Reel PROs, then, can become Main Arena actors.

Reel PROs is a membership organization, with an annual fee of $60. (For info on the current 1/2 price membership special, please send an email to RP.Players@earthlink.net.) RP2 and Players members who are invited and choose to transfer into Main Arena pay no further fee for the balance of their membership year. All Reel PROs actors who choose to are featured in Cream of the Crop, our online member directory, as part of their membership. Also as a free member benefit, our actors can become part of ReelPROsTV on YouTube, with their in-house professionally filmed Reel PROs on-camera video clips.
