This is actually a very similar one to what I used to try and find an agent. I was debating about using Youtube too but was debating if these types of reel are not suitable for that since I know most people there would rather see an actual film or full skit of some sort.

The next closest thing would be to see them on video doing scenes. I'd want to see a range of stuff, and hopefully whatever I'm looking to cast would fit somewhere within something I'm seeing. I would vote for on-going video updates with you doing short scenes from the public domain or scenes written by friends (or yourself). You could just embed youtube videos on your site... and being on YouTube has search advantages. If I were a producer or director, I would want to see an actor in another project.
