a review of different types of acting

By Javier Ramirez


There are opportunities out there for the aspiring model or actor, good solid shots at getting into print ads and commercials, walking the runway with some version of the latest fashions, and even appearing in television, film, or music videos. It's not impossible; people are doing it all the time. Babies, even. Not just in Los Angeles or Milan. Right down the road in Florida. It's just a matter of getting in touch with the right agency.

You will find there may be agencies out there preying on your anxiousness to become a star and using that to only rip you off. If they're licensed, they have to follow the rules set forth by their state and so it is highly likely they will abide by them.

First and foremost, make sure your prospective agency is fully licensed. Make sure it's been around for more than two weeks. 15 or 20 years is a good age. If the agency asks you for a registration fee up front, you just turn your back and march out. Also, check out the clients your potential agency has worked with: Audi and MasterCard are acceptable. "Mother Joe's Rather Odd Fish Shack" is not.

A good model and talent agency will help you figure out what's best for you, whether it's in print ads or on that new TV show. And the film industry is everywhere. In Southern Florida, shows like the USA Network hit "Burn Notice" and Fox's new drama "The Glades" are always looking for talent. Reputable agencies will have the in with those casting directors. Heck, you might even find yourself dodging pyrotechnics in a music video.

And listen: don't get intimidated by the thought that all models are exotic and foreign. Good agencies like to work with everyday people of all ages and experience levels. Which makes sense. Those are the kinds of people we see everyday, so that's who we expect to see in our ads and favorite programs. We the people want to relate to the people who are selling us sweaters ... or getting involved in action-packed crime dramas.

Then take their suggestions for referrals such as schooling, photographers, and any other tools they suggest. Their referrals are very useful because they work hand in hand together and they know what the other wants.

However, if you are prepared to do everything that is asked of you from this day forward, then Avenue Productions is ready to go to work for you in casting you in the right roles for the right clients. All you need to do is register with this outstanding talent agency and then get to work on the next stage of your acting or modeling career.
