I’ll tell you the truth behind acting and modeling, keep reading to find out. Acting modeling is a very glamorous industry, but it can be ruthless at times.

A model should have clear skin and a nice bone structure and symmetrical face. Just those things will help you a lot in the industry. It depends on if you’re doing cat walk modeling or plus size modeling on what your figure should be as a model.
Being an actor is tough work too, you need to always be getting better and take some body language classes or have voice coaches help you. These are the first impressions that casting directors see about you.
You and your agent should have your headshot picture available along with your resume at these auditions, regardless if you are a model or actor/actress. Make sure that you have these photos taken professionally and that they can be accessed easily.

Here is a good tip, hire a talent manager or better yet an agent. An agent won’t charge you unless they find a job for you and then they take a percentage of that – usually 10 percent. With an agent, you’ll have someone else looking for a job for you while you use the link above to find casting calls.
One thing to mention is that you will be criticized and let down a lot so develop that thick skin now. Do not ever let people get to you and don’t let that criticism seep through because it will really bring you down and it will be hard to get yourself back up.
Good luck with your career in acting and modeling. Remember to stay grounded and be yourself.
