8 Tips to Maintain Good Skin for Castings/Auditions

1. Cleanse your skin regularly to avoid buildup of dirt and bacteria. Find a cleanser that suits your skin type, bearing in mind that not every product is ideal for you.

2. Beware of products with harsh chemicals. They can cause breakouts and damage the skin. We recommend products with an all-natural vegan-botanical ingredient base that will not have harmful effects.

3. Keep your skincare regiment simple. After a long photo-shoot or casting call you’re less likely to fall off the bandwagon if your routine is easy and simple.

4. Too much tanning will age your skin, so alternate between spray tans or a reliable brand of sunless tanner to keep a healthy glow without the negative side effects.

5. Drink enough water. It will keep your skin hydrated and keep it looking vibrant and healthy. Adopting good nutritional habits will also have positive impact on the appearance of your skin.

6. Get a good beauty rest. Lack of sleep will lead to tired older looking skin most obviously by casing bags and dark circles under the eyes.

7. Keep your pillowcase clean and your hair away from your face as you sleep. Grease and bacteria from these can build up on your face and cause breakouts.

8. Be consistent. Consistency will ultimately be your best friend; a sporadic routine will only lead to breakouts. With a little planning and some diligence, anyone can maintain healthy beautiful looking skin!

How To Start A Career In Commercial Modelling & Acting

So you want to be a model or actor, but where do you start?

Get A Headshot- Every actor needs an 8x10 headshot with a resume on the back and even beginner models may start off with a simple headshot before the start building their portfolio.

Build Your Portfolio- A simple headshot will only serve its purpose for a time, then you need to upgrade. Determine what type of roles you might be cast for as a commercial print model. Examples include athletic, young mom and businessperson. You should now work on building your portfolio with these looks. Determine what types of roles you’re most likely to be cast for and build your portfolio around them. Be realistic about it, and take a look at your strengths. For example, If you’ve got an athletic build, you may be a great fit for athletic and fitness campaigns and acting roles. Recognize your strengths and use them to your advantage.

Find An Agent- Do some research about reputable agencies in your area. Give them a call and don’t be afraid to ask questions about the process of applying, the types of campaigns they do and what they’re ultimately looking for. We’ve heard great things at Carolyn’s Model & Talent Agency, not that we’re biased or anything. Some people advocate for a do it yourself approach, but we firmly believe an agent will help you navigate more effectively through the industry and will ultimately give you access to the connections you need.

Take Classes- This is a no brainer for actors; of course you should take classes. But for models, it can strengthen you commercial work by helping you to learn how to pose, learn more about your body movement and what you’re capable of. It’ll also help you to improve your role-playing and help convey emotion better.
