There are many Charlatans out there, so called 'professionals', professing to have what it takes to get you a job - offering actors quick fixes for showreels and quick roads to success...but please be warned! There are NO quick fixes. And just because they've made a feature film doesn't make them an expert. Experience makes them an expert.
Anyone who offers you advice for a price...or a chance to be seen by Casting Consultants and Directors when you're not ready...or offer you a showreel without taking into consideration what you have to lose...then they are exploiting you and your situation. Casting Consultants and Directors who are being paid for their expertise can enlighten you on how THEY work and what THEY want, but THEY can't solve your problems or advise you on how to fix things, or improve your performance. So basically, they can't teach you to act.
Just remember, exposure doesn't give you better opportunities...better training does.
