Actors need to be seen. Actors, Entertainers, Singers, Dancers, Models and even extras for film need to get out to casting personnel seeking talent for their projects.
Read books on the subject of your career choice.
Books are always a good beginning...
For starters we suggest you check out our book section or the Amazon books below.
Knowledge is the power to realize your dreams.
How to audition.
How to sell yourself as an actor
Acting for the camera
If you are contemplating entering the field, you will require photos, resumes and for voice-overs, demos tapes in most cases.
- You must have photos.
- You must begin building a resume.
- You need to market yourself.
WHY?
-Photos are needed to see what you look like
-A resume reveals your skill level
Pretty inexpensive tools of the trade if prepared properly.
Then why are so many people getting taken for hundreds and thousands of dollars?
Most people do not study or research enough on the field. Take time and visit the library or neighborhood bookstore where a multitude of books will be found published on the subject.
If you studied, you would begin to understand what is required and what it takes to get yourself on the big screen, or in local fashion shows or to begin working as a promotional model for large companies. You would be less likely to get parted from your money.
Knowledge is power and when you understand what it takes, you are less likely to get ripped off. We have selected a few book titles and posted them on our website, read as much as possible and familiarize yourself with what is needed to get into the entertainment field.
MARKET YOURSELF
1- Visit local agencies and acquire an agent. Be ready to provide them with the materials needed to market you.
2-List yourself on the Internet at websites that are popular with casting personnel such as extrasformovies.com. Our web site is the leading site for casting calls and auditions on the internet.

3-Have good clear photos and get better or professional photos as money permits.
4- Read Variety and the Hollywood reporter.
5-Update your resume – Get experience, take some good quality acting classes, a charm course, dance classes or volunteer for a independent student film.
****Expand your talents and skills in as many areas as possible.
If a film project called for a hip/hop dancer who can walk a tight rope while reciting Shakespeare, and you have those skills, chances are you will get an audition, so the moral of the story is learn all you can. Enhance all your skills and talents. Get a few photos and begin to create a resume.
