Jump Starting Your Acting/Modeling Career Series Part 1: Figuring Out Your Type
After receiving many questions from people on Twitter, Facebook, and on my blog, I decided to create a series on how to best jump start or boost your acting/modeling career. In this series, I will share invaluable information that gives actors and models their best chance to succeed in this industry.
This series will be even more helpful with your input. Please post your suggestions, feelings or personal experiences on my blog page, Twitter or Facebook Fan Page.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Part 1: Figuring Out Your Type
The main reason why so many people never reach the level of success they desire is because they did not carefully do their research to figure out what their “type” is. What I mean by that is that you need to figure out who you are, what kind of look you have and how you will be cast.
If you look like the “girl next door,” then don’t have your portfolio filled with glamour shots. If you look like the neighborhood mom, real estate agent, teacher, doctor, student, banker, mechanic, etc…, then create photos that will clearly sell that specific look. Knock people over the head with your look, so they can clearly see how you should be cast.
Once you figure out your “type,” then create photos that accentuate that look!
