Long time motion designer, looking to move into 3D character animation full time (I know, right?) I'd love some critique on my new reel before I start sending it out.

Would be good to know anything you think isn't working so well, anything I could cut for time, but I'd also appreciate suggestions for what skills to prioritise developing.

I think my previous experience has given me a good feel for timing and movement in general, and I hope that comes through in this, even if my work is lacking in some fundamental areas. My biggest issue is a lack of serious acting and dialogue, and I'm planning to start on rectifying that, as well as getting some more practice with 2D (so many 2D jobs around here these days I feel like I have to). Anything else you think I should focus on?

I've been told I should be labelling shots in my 3D reel with what I did, I'm struggling to come up with a simple way to convey basically "I did all the animation from scratch, with a bit of modelling, rigging and other stuff, but that's not so important because I'm only looking for animation jobs"

I've titled it as an animation reel and I thought that should get the message across, but people keep asking me this. I figured if it says "animation" on it, then everyone should understand that I'm showing off the animation I've done, and not pay attention to anything else, but apparently that's not good enough. Any suggestions?
