On your resume and in your marketing package make sure you list the number that you can be contacted at any minute of the day. This will be your life line in this industry. The more available you are to speak with when your agent calls, will send the message that you are serious about working in this industry and wanting to book jobs. People who do not make themselves readily available do not, and will not receive consistent calls.Castings can come in at any time and be only a few hours away. You don’t ever want to miss what could of been a golden opportunity. This may start out for you as a “hobby” or may be something you have always heard you should be a part of…

Children Under The Age Of Five

In the age range of newborn to five years of age, you the parent will be taking your own pictures of your children. Some parents will want to go out and have them taken professionally but it is not recommended or necessary, either is a composite card or head shot due to the out of pocket expense and the fact that at this age your child is rapidly changing.

However, if your child begins to get booked for allot of jobs then getting them head shots to send out is not a bad idea!

Cards have to be updated every six months for an adult, so imagine at this age it could end up being every other month and it’s just not worth it. A 5×7 color photo of your child with their name, date of birth and your contact info on the back is all you need to submit to an agent.

A composite card is a models marketing tool. Sometimes they are also called a Zen card and I’ve seen them done wallet, post card and standard size. However, standard size is what you will need for professional purposes.

If you are trying to break into the modeling industry then you are required to have a composite card. Your agent will be sending your composite cards to their clients to help book you jobs.

What Is A Head Shot?

A head shot is the actors marketing tool and there are three different types.The commercial composite, theatrical and commercial head shots. Each one is used for a different avenue in the industry.

It is a 8×10 photo of yourself in B&W from the shoulders up. However, with changing times and trends, I have seen them in color as well and the photos of the actor/actress have been in in three quarter length shots. Continue reading »

Gotta Have It If You Want To Be A Shining Star

As I told you in my last post about how to succeed in the industry, I was not joking when I told you that getting training of any kind and learning new things will push you up the ladder of success. Meaning, if you are lazy, you will be unaccomplished, and if your satisfied with just living mediocre day to day then you will get nowhere in this business or in your life.

If you are of any age, in school, college, whatever and have the opportunity to join theatre/drama class, music, secondary language, dance, cheer leading or sports team then you should use that to your advantage. You are already ahead of the game if you play it this way. You will also want to research everything you can about the industry and what is required of you. Read about some of your favorite model, actors, musicians and really listen to their stories…

It was not overnight for them and they had to work every part of their being to get to the point that they are at now… Undivided dedication brings about great results and those people delved right into their dreams.
