Hi everyone! All of my resumes -- my printed hard copy and the ones on the various casting sites -- have "List available upon request" under my Commercials header. (My list is all of one commercial, but I guess you have to start somewhere!) I have a copy of the commercial that I could upload to L.A. Casting and the other sites, but then I suppose that would require me to actually list the commercial, right? Is it better to leave it as "available upon request" or to show off the spot? I am too new to know which is appropriate, so I appreciate your help!

Also, what are the rules for PSAs? I have one PSA too, but I don't know if I can/should list it on my resume(s) and/or upload the video.

Thanks!

I don't think you should upload a commercial onto la casting. One reason is one of the reasons you put "list available upon request" on your resume. The conflict could be long over, but a casting director for a rival product could see that and dismiss you because you were in a rival product's commercial conflict or no conflict.
