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…

You must always be prepared for this to become your daily routine, you never know… Joining this industry could possibly change your life and you may very well be the next big name on the tip of  every ones tongue. If you have a casting, audition, fitting, open call, etc, that you are scheduled for be sure to have your marketing package together and get directions the night before. Estimate the amount of time it will take you to get there and give yourself an extra half hour travel time.

If you are going somewhere where parking may not be readily available ask a friend to tag along so you can arrive on time and they can handle the parking for you. No one is interested in seeing someone who cannot show up on time. Remember, this is your first face to face,in person impression, and any little thing you did not prepare for ahead of time could very well hinder you from booking the job…

Your presence, attitude, and aura will either give off a good or bad vibe. That is your decision… Be who you are but  REMEMBER it is your option to be respectful, courteous, on time, dedicated etc…

Your conscious decision, your right to choose success or failure…

After all, you got into this industry with the intent to work so give it your very best and do what is required of you.
