Just looked at your profile and for your credits, you've put "actress" which could be anything! Can you be more specific?

Hey Ena,
Firstly, I agree with Mandy. You want to put character names other than just 'Actress'. Secondly, as for cover letters, you want to keep it short. Two short paragraphs AT MOST detailing why you'd be fit for the job (you've played similar characters before, have the specific skill they're looking for ect.), any specific information they've asked for and your contact details (not all CDs use Mandy's messaging system).
You're also going to want to UPLOAD your Showreel to your profile as opposed to just having a YouTube link to it. Once uploaded, you can attach it to your application. If you Showreel isn't uploaded, employers have no way of seeing it when looking at your application and getting them to watch your Showreel is a must.

I also see you've done some moddeling/commercial shoots. Don't be afraid to put such work on your CV. It bulks it out more and many employers are looking for those with such experience.

Hope this helps and break a leg,
Ben
