| 3. How much do I need to invest in my career to get started? |
|
Like any business, you need to invest in that business. And remember, this is a business you are investing in…You are that business…You are the product. But you need to invest wisely. Invest in local acting classes, singing lessons. Invest no more than $200 to 300 dollars with a good photographer in getting photos for your portfolio. Sometimes you’ll be able to trade off “your looks” for what you may need. Remember, the photographer needs photos for his portfolio as well. DON’T…INVEST INTO THESE TRAVELING TALENT SEARCH COMPANIES THAT PROMISE YOU THE WORLD FOR $1,500 TO $3,000 BECAUSE YOU HAVE “THE LOOK” AND THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO MEET SOME CASTING DIRECTOR OR PRODUCERS. THAT’S A BUNCH OF BULL…IT’S A SCAM!!! LOOK AROUND THE ROOM AND SEE WHO THEY ARE SIGNING UP….”EVERYONE” THAT WILL GIVE THEM MONEY. Return to Actor's Help Line |
