FIND OUT WHO THE LICENSED TALENT AGENTS ARE IN YOUR AREA . Always and we repeat always use a legitimate licensed talent agency. Whether you are a writer, director, actor, model, dancer or musician. If you are unsure who is licensed and who is not, purchase the talent agent list from this web site. If you are planning on working professionally these are the only talent agents you should use. They are the talent agents that can legally negotiate for you and that will work on commission. Never any fees or dues.
-
DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Millions of people are trying to break into showbiz. Your job is to be professional and stay ahead of the competition. You need to know the entertainment industry professionals and casting executives that are that are working now, currently on a project. You need to be at the right place at the right time and our mailing lists and mailing labels will help you do that. Everyone on our lists are currently working professionals. If they are not currently working on a project they are removed from our lists until they are working again. We want you to have every advantage over the competition and we don't want you to waste your money or time mailing to inactive people.
-
STUDY, PRACTICE AND STUDY SOME MORE. Take classes as many as you can. When you do get the audition for that dream acting or modeling role, you will have to have the talent to back it up. Always keep learning and advancing your skills.
-
START SMALL. If you are planning on becoming a star and make your living as an actor or model: learn your craft by taking smaller roles, do theater, print work both fashion print and commercial print and do television commercials. These are all great jobs in front of the camera or an audience that will give you experience, credits on your resume and money.
-
BE A BIG FISH IN A SMALL POND. You do not have to be in Los Angeles or New York to be successful. More than half of all television movies, shows and feature films are done in smaller cities. Get a local licensed and union franchised agency from our list and build your resume and experience locally before hitting NY or LA. The competition is very tough and you will want to have all the skills and experience you need to beat the competition.
-
TELEVISION COMMERCIAL CASTING CALLS . Commercial auditions teach you how to audition, work with talent agents, negotiate, film skills, acting, working on a film set, putting your acting resume together, getting professional head shots, bring you lots (and we mean lots of money). One national commercial can pay you, the talent, over a hundred thousand dollars over two years.
-
DO CASTING DIRECTOR MAILINGS OFTEN. You need to get your name, resume and/or photo or ideas out there and often. Like just about any other career, you are going to have to make some kind of financial investment in your future. Doing mailings is the best way to invest in your acting or modeling career. Someone may not need your type in February but then, bam… you are the perfect face for the new show they are doing this fall. Keep out there. In Show Business, business is the bigger word. Talent is not enough, you have got to treat this like any other business and to get and stay on top. This is your career no one cares about it more than you do!
