⭐️This is a great exercise you can do while watching any film/TV show - who has the dominance in a scene (especially in one with confrontation). How is their body language speaking to this? How is everyone else’s body language? Are they holding eye contact like they’re in charge, or avoiding it like they’re not?

⭐️*Getting your (quality) submission in as soon as possible can be a huge advantage - not only will your agent appreciate it, but casting will often send tapes in ‘batches’ to production - who can sometimes make their decision after receiving the first tapes!

⭐️As a famous baddie once said - BE PREPARED

11/01/2020

I cannot stress this enough...
If in your headshot you look stunning, and in your self tape you look like you just rolled out of bed... many of us will not even stick around to watch the self tape... because it shows you didnt take the time to make a professional self tape, so why would we want to work with someone who isnt 100% committed.
Its almost like you lied to us before even opening your mouth... NO ONE BECOMES AN ACTOR OVERNIGHT... take your time and do it professionally...
