Tip of the Day: Do You have a Demo and is it on Your Casting Profiles?

If you have great footage to create a demo or a sizzle reel, please get one done. Casting is constantly asking for an updated demo these days. If you don't have strong demo footage, please don't stress. If you have strong self-tapes, you can create a short demo with a few shortened self-tapes. Casting also loves a good slate on your actors access account. If you don't have one, get one done. Make sure it matches the headshot with great lighting and clarity.

Tip of the Day: Know Your Triggers

It's important for actors to try to heal any pain or blocks from your past.

Yes, we all know acting requires reference but its best to not use past pain. Acting is all about "playing" a character, not to emotionally damage yourself...

Tip of the day: Are Your Profiles Up to Date?

Actors make sure to update your online profiles regularly.

Years ago agents handled updates but now the sites are meant to be used by the actor as well.

Keep all of your accounts updated with your latest and greatest materials.

It's not just your demo, headshot and resume, make sure your stats, age range, and special skills are listed.

Get used to navigating the sites as well.

A great profile gets noticed. Get noticed!
