Want to book more jobs for the New Year?!

As we approach the New Year here are 10 tips for Acting/Modeling in 2013, straight from our agency director Paige Ehlman!

1. Make sure your Casting Networks Profile is current - including your skills, wardrobe sizes and contact information. If you have a new phone number or email, please update your info!
2. Communication is key! Check-in with the agency at least once a month. Let us know about your schedule and you availability for auditions and jobs.
3. Keep your acting skills fresh so you will be well prepared for auditions and jobs; participate in theatre at school or in your community. Read acting scenes and monologues online or at your library.
4. If your photo is over 2 years old and your look has changed, consider getting updated pictures or email a recent color smiling snapshot to your agent. Clients expect you to look like your photo!
5. Always have hard copies of your headshot, comp card or snapshot ready for auditions. This is a requirement for every audition.
6. Eat healthy, exercise and get plenty of rest to look your best in front of the camera.
7. Sign up on Atmoshpere Casting www.atmoshperecastingchicago.com to be considered for extra work in TV or film.
8. Respond to your agent's emails/voicemails promptly! You may miss out on an important audition or booking if your agent has to wait to hear back from you.
9. Arrive on time for every audition and booking! Lateness is unacceptable. In case of illness or emergency contact your agent immediately.
10. Keep a positive attitude!
