Tuesday Tip:
The beauty of natural Southern women and men is a draw for filming shows, films and commercials in the Southeast.
I literally had a talent submission this year that a female photoshopped Kim Kardashian's face onto theirs.
Most clients want to see your natural self.
I hate to see young women thinking they even need to alter their looks.
Here is what most of our clients do not want to see:
-inflated lips (Do you know how many roles this takes you out of consideration for?)
-inflated lips with thick lipstick and dark lip liner
-exaggerated long eyelashes
-obvious face fillers
-dyed hair on men- let the gray go!
-Tattooed/sculpted eyebrows
This will put you out of consideration for 98% of the clients in the Southeast. Same with lifestyle/commercial print shoots.
I think too many women think this is what "Hollywood" wants to see when the reality is that they want natural looking people for most roles.
Now of course there are very specific roles for this in film and television shows that this works perfectly for- as well as makeup artists who can create this for on camera actors.
But if you're not a trained actress who can pull those roles, you're without a place in the industry.
This may Sound harsh, but it's been on my mind to let those know that are serious about being successful in the industry- that may be aren't getting auditions/booking/getting callbacks or hearing from agents for representation.
