A Reel Is Its Own Record, With Its Own Name and Order
Audio on an actor website splits into two things that want different treatment. There is your reel, which is the one piece you most want heard, and there is your library, which is everything else. Both are handled, and it is worth knowing which is which.
Reels
A reel is a track flagged as a reel. It is a record in its own right, with its own name, its own position and its own place in your menu, rather than being inferred from how you happened to label something.
Designs treat a reel as the headline piece and give it a prominent position, usually near the top of the page before anything else loads. That is the right default: a casting director opening a voice actor's site is there for the reel, and making them find it is a poor use of the thirty seconds you have.
Worth knowing: because a reel is given a dedicated position, it is held back from the general media gallery. If the design you have chosen does not provide that position, mark the track as a library track instead and it appears in the gallery with everything else.
Playlists
A playlist is a named group of tracks. Commercial, narration, animation, audiobook, or however your work actually divides.
This is how a substantial library stays usable. Twenty tracks in one list is a wall that nobody plays. Twenty tracks in four labeled playlists lets somebody go straight to the category they are casting for, which is the only thing they wanted to do.
Ordering within a playlist is yours and works the way every other list in the admin works, covered in drag to sort. Put your strongest piece first. Almost nobody reaches the third track.
Getting audio in
Upload directly, bring tracks in from SoundCloud, or pick them out of a Dropbox folder.
The wider case for organizing any of it is in audio playlists for voice actors, and on why a voice actor needs a site at all, ten reasons.
