Model Tip
For runway modeling, a model has to hit his/her mark. This is the spot one to two feet before the end of the runway. Practice placing a mark on the floor and hitting it without looking directly at it. Remember, the cameras need to see your eyes!
Actor Tip
Acting requires a lot of reading. Make sure you practice reading as often as possible and expand your vocabulary. It’s always good to practice reading aloud and with emotion. Make sure you are effectively using your voice to communicate as an actor.
Personal Development Tip
Confidence is key to being a successful model or actor. In fact, confidence is an important trait no matter what industry you end up working in. Smile, take pride in how you present yourself and stand tall to give yourself small confidence boosters.
