(What if you miss your flight? What if the shoot keeps

A Few Things To Watch Out For

2009-04-19T16:38:00.000-07:00

What should you be watching out for?* Any talent scout or agent who guarantees to make you a star. No one can give that sort of guarantee. The audience holds that card.* Any agent who asks for money upfront to get you work. A genuine agent works for a percentage of what you're paid, which means you get paid first.* Talent scouts or agents who insist you take their acting or modeling course before

*** IMPORTANT NOTE ***Unsolicited phone calls and personal visits to casting directors are prohibited in the entertainment industry.

Actors Resume For Beginners

2009-04-18T02:36:00.001-07:00

I am often asked about what to put on a resume when you have little or no experience. Well, we all have to start somewhere. When I first started acting, I only had some extra work that I had done. And I still landed an agent. Some people may say to lie. DO NOT lie! The business side of the entertainment industry is a tight knit community, and you will most likely be caught. You do not want to
