speaker demo reels
Short reels are attention grabbers, and they do that job well. But thirty seconds cannot show your art: the command, the poise, the way you hold a room's tension and release it when you choose. That lives in the full demo video, the one bookers actually judge you by. Get it wrong once and you are not considered, not for this event and not for the next. We cut the reels that pull them in and the demo video that shows exactly whom they are booking, all from your real stage footage, fully remote wherever you speak.
a speaker demo video is the few minutes of real stage footage an event organizer watches before deciding to book you, and the short reels are the clips that lead them to it. we handle the whole edit: watching every recording you send, choosing the moments, cleaning the audio and color, setting titles in your brand, and delivering cuts sized for your website, your one-sheet, youtube, and every booking form.
a custom build, not a package.
- the full speaker demo video: minutes that show your command of a room, cut for the way bookers decide.
- short reels and keynote clips that grab attention and lead a booker to the full video.
- cleanup that respects the room: audio leveled, color corrected, crowd shots kept honest.
- titles and lower thirds in your brand, not a template that looks like everyone else's reel.
- sized for everywhere it lives: your website, your one-sheet, youtube, and the bureau form.
- a video that stays current: new stages get cut in, so the proof grows as you do.

questions, answered.
how much does a speaker demo reel cost?
our work starts at $1,500 and scales with how much footage there is and how much you want cut. there is no fixed ceiling because no two speakers bring the same material, and we would rather quote your video honestly than sell a package. you see the number before any editing begins, and the market context too: freelancer marketplaces run cheaper and premium production houses run far higher, we sit where quality is non-negotiable but the price is still sane.
what is the difference between the short reels and the demo video?
the reels are attention grabbers: seconds long, built for feeds and first impressions, and they do that job well. the demo video is the proof: minutes of you actually holding a room, which is what a booker judges before they commit. the reels lead people to the video, and the video closes the decision.
what footage do i need to get started?
one recorded talk is enough to start. phone footage, a venue recording, a livestream export, all usable, and more angles simply give us more to work with. if your best moments are spread across several events, send everything and we will find the video inside it.
how long does a demo video take?
most videos come back for your review within two to three weeks of us receiving footage. you give one round of notes, we finalize, and the finished cuts arrive sized for your website, socials, and booking forms. we set the dates up front so you can plan your pitching around it.
do you work with speakers outside your country?
yes, the whole service is remote by design. footage moves over a shared link, reviews happen on a call or in notes, and the finished video lands in your inbox. we work with speakers across the us, canada, the uk, australia, and anywhere else there is a stage.
what makes a demo video actually get bookings?
it gives your craft room to breathe. a booker needs to see you command a real room, hold its tension, and land the release, and that takes minutes, not a thirty second montage. we open with your presence, show your range across topics and audiences, and end with an easy next step. one weak video and a booker quietly moves on, this event and the next, so we cut it right the first time.
