Getting Started

A FEW TIPS WHEN STARTING AN ACTING CAREER;

Know your type. We all don't fit everything. What do others think you are...cute, big, sexy, old, whatever. Also your photos should 
reflect what you are. Don't do a bunch of photo shopping to make yourself look better, or different.
The hardest time in the  beginning is usually the first year. It's not good to be impatient, lazy, arrogant etc. Work hard, study. Remember
this is a business. Work at it everyday. 
Casting directors, agents, directors are not your enemy. Real agents are going to look at you closely, vet you as well you should them if
you don't already know about them. For our 'in house'  castings, Casting Directors, Directors expect us to submit only those that fit the role, the part. And they have to be able to act, to perform, to at least have a strong chance on getting the job. Many times a casting person will only want to see a handful of  talent. Frequently  those are selected from our website.
Be a good person, not just a good actor. Be someone that others want to be around. Don't be all negative. "It's not me, it's them". Those guys that you don't like, or talk about are going to be around for a long, long time, while others come and go.
Good luck.
