I have never had either up until recently when I did put up a personal
website. My "reel" so to speak has always just been a list of credits,
projects completed, and then it would be up to the prospective employer
to look into it as much or as little as they want to. The idea of
assemblying clips from projects seems a little silly since there are so
many elements that go into the finished soundtrack of any movie and for
the most part, I have only been responsible for one part of the show,
the production sound recording. I have done quite a lot of teaching over
the years and I have put together scenes from movies that I have done
for the purposes of discussing how things were actually done.
What is necessary, and this IS up on my website, is the resume, CV or
list of credits, available for employers to look through. This is
actually not as necessary as it used to be, at least for those of us who
do primarily movies, if your IMDB list is accurate.
As far as whether "all senior pros" have personal websites, I don't know
the answer to that. There are lots of personal websites out there and
possibly even some have put up a "showreel" like you mention.
