101 TIPS FOR ACTORS:
Secrets for Success Every Actor Must Know …
TIP # 11. FACE TIME
When I was in college, I had a good friend who had one very specific
goal during his four years at the university: to become very well
known on campus. With that in mind, he chose the activities he was
going to be involved in according to his personal motto, "Face Time."
One of the greatest ways to get seen in Hollywood is by registering
with the Players Directory (http://www.playersdirectory.com).
The directory comes out twice a year, is sent to all of the agencies
in town, and is a great way to get seen by both agents and casting
directors. The only listing requirement is that you must be a paid
member of at least one union (the easiest union to join these days is
AFTRA).
The fees to register are reasonable and are determined by the number
of categories and/or photos you submit. There is a place to list
representation information, but if you don't have an agent, you can
just list a contact number.
Hollywood is a very small town and it's time for you to start getting
seen by everyone who is in a position to give you a job. Therefore, do
yourself a favor and start getting a little "Face Time" of your own by
registering with the Players Directory.
BREAKDOWN
• Your goal is to get your name and your face in front of as many
people as you can: so make sure that you register with the Players
Directory (http://www.playersdirectory.com), as soon as possible!
