call backs for promoting yourself in acting

By Shawn Walsh


You might be one of those people for whom a cubicle life just doesn't make sense. You might be someone who has some real talent, and a desire to share them with the world. You might have the face of America's next sweetheart, or the body of America's most secret dreams. In other words, if you've got these thoughts in your head, it may be time to check out modeling or acting.

There are many, many opportunities in the talent industry for a motivated, driven, responsible individual. But you've got to know how to navigate the often-treacherous waters of the industry in order to avoid sinking. To do that, you'll want to find a good talent agency. These are the people who help you get your composites made and shop you around to various casting directors. It's important that you find an agency that is good, and honest. A lot of them are just looking to get your money.

The Right Friends

Here are a few things to keep in mind when researching potential talent agencies. It is really important to find the right one, so make sure you take the search seriously. The agency must be fully licensed, it should have recognizable names on its client list, and it should have been in the industry long enough to build up a reputation that you can follow, and that will help you make your decision.

It's important to have your composites made early on. Composites are the collected shots of you in action and in poses that you take to casting calls -- basically your business cards. Photographers can help you put these together; talent agencies often can as well.

Finding a Fit

As mentioned above, there are nearly endless opportunities in the talent world. You could try your hand at hand modeling, you could go forth and find your way into magazine ads, radio spots, commercials. On the other hand, maybe you want to seek your glory in entertainment, in which case there are television shows filming in many cities, as well as films of major and minor budgets. If your attention span doesn't warrant this kind of time investment, perhaps you could dodge pyrotechnics in a music video. It's an open field once you learn how to play.

Even if you don't have exotic looks, you might be just right. Talent agencies are looking for people with all kinds of looks to fit all kinds of jobs. Your job is to be responsible and dedicated and charming and do what comes natural when the camera rolls.
