Summer just arrived but if you are an actor/model you should be thinking about Fall and how busy we get starting late July/August! Here are a few things you should be working on NOW
Positivity. Rid your life of negativity and that includes negative people. The things we tell ourselves are some of the most powerful motivators. Don't let negative people tell you that you will never make it in this industry! Motivate yourself with positive thoughts, positive actions and positive people.
Organization. Make sure your work permit(s) are current (if you are a minor), everyone should have a current passport (lots of work in Canada among other places) and if you have other documentation that you need to work make sure they are all current and in a place where you can find them in an instant. Keep an audition log and always make sure you send thank you notes, along with postcards reflecting recent bookings. Always keep track of what you wear to each audition. This will help you when you get a callback that you can "dress" in the exact way you went in for the initial audition but you can also see what colors seem to work (ie do you get more callbacks when you wear that blue shirt than when you wear the white one?)
Your Tools. Headshots, resumés, demo reel, website,
marketing materials= are they ALL current? Are your headshots a true representation of who you look today? Are your resumes current with everything you have done? Are you listing things on your resume that are a stretch? If so, clean it up. Get back into class if
you've taken time off.
Read. Read plays, screenplays, books about this
industry, articles in the trades. Do you know what shows have been picked up for Fall? Do you know who are casting these new shows? If not, why not? This is your career and you need to be on top of it.
Brand. Are you working on your brand? Do you know your brand? If you don't then this is #1 chore for you to do before Fall.
