Performers from Los Angeles to New York City are stepping into the recording studio to get castings on Broadway and on screen. In doing so, they’re building music portfolios, which are also a great keepsake.

Get More Castings

Building a music portfolio can help you get cast on Broadway or on screen. 

A music portfolio is a collection of your best songs that you can share with casting directors, agents, and producers. Send your Spotify link via email, resume or social media and they can listen to your music anywhere.

Your playlists or albums can feature songs across genres—musicals, pop, classical, jazz. Showing off your vocal range with a variety of songs will help you land different kinds of roles, whether you’re auditioning for Broadway, a TV show, or film. 

Grow as an Artist

Recording your own music isn't just about creating a portfolio; it's about developing your artistic identity. Your portfolio reflects your unique style, like how you interpret popular songs and the kind of music you write. How you approach music helps casting directors hear and envision how you’ll perform.

A quality, committed Spotify portfolio proves you’re serious about your career. Well-recorded songs show you have the skills to meet the high demands of the industry, and that you’re ready for a role. 

Gain Exposure for Auditions

There are millions of users on Spotify. Your profile could get popular through shared playlists and recommendations. This opens doors for connections in the industry.

Your portfolio goes hand-in-hand with other audition materials: headshots, resumes, and demo videos. Having one lets casting directors hear more of your voice and performance, so your audition stands out among others.

Standing out is key in competitive industries like Hollywood and Broadway. A good Spotify profile gives you an edge over performers with more traditional portfolios or resumes. Letting casting directors hear the full range of your vocal performance can urge them to invite you to auditions (and listen again after). 

Create a Keepsake

Aside from helping you land auditions, another benefit to your Spotify portfolio is it becomes a record of your artistic growth. Over time, your music collection grows from one song to many, showing your journey as an artist.

Even if you don’t always perform on stage or in front of a camera, your music portfolio will stay with you as a keepsake of your career. As people listen and stream your songs, you’ll earn royalties, turning your recorded work into a source of income.

When you're no longer working in front of an audience, your music could help carry on your career. Once a performer, always a performer.
