Setting up your portfolio

Your portfolio at /artists/portfolio/ is the thing managers and bookers actually search. Everything else on your side of the platform works better once it is filled in.

What to fill in first

• Profession — what you do, in the words someone would search for. "Front of house engineer" finds you; "sound person" does not.
• Experience level — this filters you into and out of searches, so be accurate rather than modest or inflated.
• Location — and whether you travel. A great deal of searching is geographic.
• Bio — a few sentences on what you do and what you are good for. Concrete beats poetic.
• Work samples — the strongest thing first. Most people look at one item before deciding.

Every discipline belongs here

Musicians, bands, DJs, singers, composers, actors, dancers, acrobats, comedians, photographers, videographers, models, stylists, make-up artists, set designers, lighting and sound engineers, editors — all first-class.

Public and agency-only material

Not everything has to be public. Some material can be kept as agency-only, so it is available in the right context without being on your public page. Use that for rates, unreleased work, or references.

Your portfolio powers the AI features

Job Finder reads your portfolio to understand what to look for. If your profession or experience is vague or wrong, its results will be too — so fix the portfolio before blaming the finder.

Uploads

Full-resolution uploads are plan-controlled; lower tiers upload at a capped resolution. See /billing/artist-pricing/.

Keep it current

Revisit it after every significant job. A portfolio that stopped a year ago reads as someone who stopped working.
