3 Tips For Beauty Solutions Based on Facial Features

4m · Published 27 Jan 21:00

The Best Beauty Solutions Based on Your Facial features: 3 Tips

If you are hoping to look your best, choosing the right skin products and hair options can have a big impact. First determine what your skin and hair type is, then pick out which products will work. You can take a look at a magazine if you need help. Here are some beauty solutions based on your facial features.

Here is the first tip for selecting the best beauty solution based on your facial features.

When choosing foundation, the goal is to find the right amount of coverage while maintaining your natural beauty. If you have dry skin, opt for a more hydrating foundation and one with adequate coverage. This will help you cover up any dry spots. If your skin is on the oily side, choose one with more of a matte finish to remove some of the excess moisture. Either way, you can finish things off with a bronzer and some shimmer to accent your cheekbones and give your face some more structure. You want to make sure you find the right match for your skin tone, too, so you don’t have any orange streaks!

Here is the second tip for selecting the best beauty solution based on your facial features.

As far as selecting an eyeshadow, go with one that compliments your eye color. Green eyes look best with a brown, neutral tint or with gold or bronze on top. You can add depth by applying both. For a night out, try purple and green with a dark brown eyeliner and black mascara. Blue eyes look best with brown, taupe, and purple while brown or hazel eyes can look great with just about any color. You can opt for a darker shade for a night or green, gold, bronze, blue or purple. Finish the look with a black mascara and liner to bring out your natural beauty. You might even opt for false lashes that are easy to apply and remove. You’ll want to find the right ones, so they’ll stay put all night.

Here is the third tip for selecting the best beauty solution based on your facial features.

As far as choosing the right haircut, rectangle shapes look best with layered cuts, waves or curls. An oval face shape looks great with bobs, long waves or curls, and a square shape looks great with a side part or with bangs. The goal, again, is to compliment your face structure. Experiment to find the right hair style. You can take a look at photos online to figure out the most flattering looks for your shape or reach out to your hairdresser to help you decide what would be best if you are still stuck.

These are just a few tips to picking your best beauty solutions. You can also take a look online at makeup palettes and moisturizers that will work as well as outfits and accessories that would flatter your facial features. Or ask a friend you trust to help you out. When it all comes together, you will have the perfect look!

3 Tips for Making Sure You’re Compensated Fully as an Actor

4m · Published 26 Jan 16:00

If you’ve booked an acting role, you may be wondering what all you can be compensated for in addition to your hourly pay that your signed up for when you took the booking. You’ll want to make sure you save receipts and/or keep a running list of expenses in a spreadsheet, especially if you’re told that you will be able to claim additional expenses. Here are a a few tips to make sure you’re getting everything you can from your gig.

Here is the first tip for making sure you’re compensated as an actor.

If the gig is far from home (and sometimes even if it isn’t) you may be able to receive a travel stipend or add the mileage traveled to your paycheck in order to be reimbursed. You can also ask for travel expenses if you work out of the country. You may have to collect receipts, so to be fully prepared, make sure you keep a record of your time on the road. If the casting director gives you a threshold of allowable expenses up front, you’ll want to keep track and count every penny spent so you can submit it after the gig has completed.

Here is the second tip for making sure you’re compensated as an actor.

If you have to stay at a hotel until your gig is completed, or with a friend or relative, this is something you may also be compensated for. Again, you’ll want to keep track of your receipts showing the length of your stay or make sure you have information about how much you can potentially get from the casting director ahead of time. If you have to stay somewhere other than home and haven’t been given this information up front, don’t be afraid to ask! The information isn’t always readily available.

Here is the third tip for making sure you’re compensated as an actor.

You may also be able to write off any expenses you have to prepare ahead of time, such as marketing expenses (i.e., your headshot photo session or a professional resume writer, etc.), acquiring a business manager or signing a contract with an agent. You can usually write off any non-reimbursable expenses if you have a certain allowable amount offered to you. Although, this is more for your end-of-year taxes, this can also be something to bring up to a casting director. You can give the receipts to a tax professional to see what you’re allowed to request. You can also write off your union dues each year. So if you have to pay them, ask your accountant to see if you’re able to be compensated.

These are just a few of the lesser-known ways to be reimbursed in addition to your hourly pay. If you work any overtime, make sure to track that, too. You will want to have documentation of anything over and beyond eight hours so you can be properly compensated. At the end of the day, you’re a working actor and your time is valuable!

4 Tips for Landing a Spot on the Runway

4m · Published 20 Jan 21:00

There are a few things you’ll need to know in advance if you want to make it as a runway model. This is a highly exclusive form of modeling even though it’s what many models think of when they dream of making it in the industry. Runway models possess very specific physical characteristics and must have the talent to make it. Here are some tips for getting started.

Here is the first tip for landing a spot on the runway.

First and foremost, runway models need to have certain attributes in order to even be considered. This type of modeling is the most rigid when it comes to a model’s physical appearance. As a general rule of thumb, female models are at least 5’8” and males are 6’0” at a minimum. Moreover, models are commonly between the ages of 15 and 21 and have naturally slender frames that allow them to fit into the garments created by the designers who contract them. There are always exceptions but they’re very few and far between. Models should secure agency representation before trying to book a show.

Here is the second tip for landing a spot on the runway.

You will also need to have the runway strut down pat. There is a very specific way in which models carry themselves when all eyes are on them as well as techniques to pivot and turn at the end of the catwalk. View videos online and practice at home until you nail it. You’ll also want to learn a few variations so you add some pizzazz that will help you get booked often.

Here is the third tip for landing a spot on the runway.

Strutting your stuff on a runway takes confidence. This is uber-important for making the job look easy when you get out there in front of onlookers. Those attending fashion shows want to notice the clothes you’re wearing and not cringe because they’re sensing your anxiety wearing them. To build up your confidence, sign up for workshops, classes or other knowledge-sharing events that will allow you to practice until you feel comfortable. The more you practice, the more confident you’ll become.

Here is the fourth tip for landing a spot on the runway.

If you have the physical presence to be on the runway, you’ll also be able to make it in other areas of high-end modeling, including designer editorials. So, if you haven’t booked your first runway gig yet, you can try pursuing these print campaigns until you do. Of course, your agent should be helping you land a few gigs. Once you have an “in” with a designer, you’re more apt to be on their list for the next big show. Plus, booking a few shoots before you transition to runway can help build the confidence needed to shine.

If you feel you have what it takes to be a high fashion model, research agencies you feel would be the best fit. Then, book a session with a photographer and submit your portfolio so you can make it onto the runway!

3 Ways to Disconnect Between Acting Gigs

4m · Published 17 Jan 18:00

It’s no secret – the entertainment industry never sleeps. And, if you’re in the prime of your career, you may be feeling overwhelmed with work. While this is a great problem to have, burning yourself out is never a good thing. To ensure you find some balance, you should make a conscious effort to disconnect between acting gigs long enough to refuel. Here are some ways to do just that.

Here is the first way to disconnect between acting gigs.

One of the best ways to disconnect is to schedule a staycation, which is typically when you choose to take a mini vacation right at home. Make sure to set aside time in advance to allow yourself to unwind. This should be a very intentional break that you can plan before it starts and stick to after a project wraps. While you may not always want to take time off, if you’ve recently booked several acting gigs in a row and are feeling exhausted, this is the perfect time to opt for some at-home time off. And although you might be tempted to use this time off to schedule in a vacation full of travel and sight-seeing, sometimes it’s best to not add more to your plate so you can actually feel like you’ve actually been able to get some R&R. The last thing you want is to have to take a vacation from your vacation because you kept yourself super busy.

Here is the second way to disconnect between acting gigs.

You might also consider unplugging during your break in order to disconnect. If you can’t get away from your phone and computer entirely, at least give yourself some time each day to turn off the electronics and allow your mind to re-center. This day and age, it can be especially difficult to do so, but you’re likely to find that even a few minutes every day can make a huge difference. The mind can get so used to reaching for a device in order to unwind, only by refusing to do so can you adjust this thought process. To help ease urges to check in, have a designated electronics-free space in your home that you can retreat to whenever you need to realign.

Here is the third way to disconnect between acting gigs.

To really disconnect, you’ll want to either give the next acting gig search a rest temporarily or book your next project a few days or weeks out from the wrap-up date of the first. As a general rule of thumb, you shouldn’t be booking anything that begins right after your current project is set to wrap-up, anyway, in case you have to go a few days over. Of course, you’ll also need to determine how long of a break you can afford to give yourself. Factor these things into the equation and come up with the perfect formula for when you want to start something new.

Once you have a solid understanding of how much time off is just right and when you should begin your break, during the in between, allow yourself to fully disconnect and have some much-deserved down time!

3 Types of Television Acting to Consider

4m · Published 13 Jan 20:00

You’ve decided you really want to make it big in television acting and you have an idea of which direction you’d like to head, but you may not know about all of the opportunities that are available to you. Like what are some of the longevity opportunities that might surface if you don’t decide you want to star in a sitcom and stick with it for many seasons. This is why it’s a good idea to understand the different types of television opportunities that are out there and get the full picture before you proceed. While you may have an idea upfront of what’s available and where to start, being aware of lesser-known gigs will up your chances of having a satisfying career. Here are three types of television roles to keep an eye out for.

Here is the first type of television acting to consider.

The first, and perhaps most well-known, type of television acting that you could have already considered pursuing is that of a series regular. This, of course, is an actor who is one of the main characters in a recurring series. Series typically start out with a pilot episode and a network will opt to pick up the show or not. So, if you go this route, while exciting, don’t be discouraged if the few shows you book don’t make it past the pilot. Put the spots on your resume and try and try again, as they say.

Here is the second type of television acting to consider.

Another type of television acting to check out is the role of the guest star. This is where you star in just a few episodes, call it quits and can move onto the next project. If your role ends up being a big hit, though, you may be called back to do more episodes. So, this is something to keep an eye out for before you begin to pile more gigs onto your plate. While you can’t sit back and anticipate that his will happen, it’s always a possibility. It’s flattering to be called back to take more episodes on, but it can get stressful if you’re already knee deep in a new project and aren’t sure how to fulfill both roles.

Here is the third type of television acting to consider.

The third type of television acting is taking on cameos. This is where you’re involved in one episode and that concludes your role. Cameo acting allows you to move between projects fairly quickly, so if you don’t want to necessarily be stuck in one role for a long period of time and would like to dabble in many different types of productions at once to see where you’d be the best fit, this may be the best option for you. Cameo acting is more flexible than the position of a series regular or that of a guest star.

These are just three types of television acting to take a look at. There are many different opportunities available, including commercial work, background roles and others that may suit you even better. Having the entire picture of what’s out there in the television world before you begin will help you take your career in the best direction for you.

4 Tips for Boosting Your Social Media Exposure

4m · Published 10 Jan 19:00

These days it is especially important to market yourself online, and a big part of doing this includes branding yourself on as many social media channels as possible to maximize exposure. There are other ways in which you can maximize your reach, too. Here’s a few tips for boosting your social media presence.

Here is the first tip for boosting your social media exposure.

Staying active is incredibly important when it comes to engaging with your audience on your socials. You’ll need to share relevant content that draws users in and makes them want to follow you. Think about what you can do to stand out. What could make you a go-to influencer? Why would others want to check out your pages? Everyone has a social media account now but there are just a select few in the entertainment industry that fans seem to want to follow. You’ll need to come up with ways in which you can be in that realm and gain the same fan base as your favorite celebs.

Here is the second tip for boosting your social media exposure.

Speaking of the select few, you’ll want to take a look at what they’re doing to draw audiences in. Is there something that they’re doing on their social media that stands out? What patterns do you notice about the content they create? Follow some influencers and track what they’re posting to determine what about these profiles sets them apart. How often are you getting notifications of new content that you feel is intriguing and makes you want to visit their pages?

Here is the third tip for boosting your social media exposure.

You’ll want to deliver a variety of content on your social media, too. If you only post updates, your followers will get bored. Only sharing photos without context? They may be confused. Take advantage of all of the various settings and tools each site has to offer and mix things up a bit. Make others want to look at your sites in the same way you want to check out what the influencers you follow have posted.

Here is the fourth tip for boosting your social media exposure.

You should also stay in the know about what’s trending and add in the latest to your social media feed. Follow pages that offer insight into the type of content that you hope to incorporate into your socials, whether that be fashion, beauty, film, television or other “it” factors. What you choose to incorporate will depend on the direction you hope to head. Leveraging the latest is a great way to draw in those who also want to be in the know. You’ll become another go-to and trusted source.

Building and boosting your social media reach is extremely important for getting your name out there and beginning to generate a solid fan base. Follow these tips to expand your brand and you’ll start to get noticed quickly. Once you get a solid footing in the social networking world and understand what you need to do to draw some attention, the rest will be easy!

4 Ways to Continually Improve Acting Skills

4 Ways to Continually Improve Acting Skills

Being a successful actor takes determination and fortitude to continually learn along the way. There’s an ongoing learning curve in the entertainment industry and there is an endless amount of knowledge to be had. It’s best to never get too settled. Here are a few ways to continue to improve your acting skills and grow your career so you will always show up with your A-game.

Here is the first way to continually Improve Acting Skills

One way to continue to improve your acting skills and grow as an actor is to take acting classes between gigs, especially if you’re looking to expand upon your knowledge base and have a more solid understanding of a particular type of acting. You may have been stuck in a particular role for such a long time that you’re feeling as if you’re not diversifying your skillset enough or you may have just heard of a particular niche that sounds interesting and you’re hoping to learn more. No matter your reasons for taking classes, these offer an excellent chance to take your career in a new direction or build upon your current talents.

Here is the second way to continually Improve Acting Skills

Another way to continually improve your acting skills and grow is to explore the world of improv acting. See if there are meetups happening in your area. Improv requires on-the-spot decision-making and forces actors out of their comfort zones. Joining in can be difficult at first but once you start going regularly, it will get easier. You’ll be able to not only improve your cognitive skills, which are critical for success as an actor, but you’ll likely start to move past overthinking what you’re going to say and start having some fun with how you present your piece, concentrating more on the nonverbals.

Here is the third way to Continually Improve Acting Skills

You may also choose to take on an acting workshop. While classes can require enrollment and tuition, workshops may not be affiliated with any sort of formal educational institution and take place periodically throughout the year, typically at local theatres or event spaces. If you’re looking for something that is shorter term than an actual class, this may be a great way for you to continue to improve your acting skills and grow in your career.

Here is the fourth way to Continually Improve Acting Skills

Another great way to learn and take your skills to the next level is to simply study your favorite actors in their roles. Whether this means watching films, television series, commercials, or online videos, or buying tickets to your favorite plays, take a closer look at how these actors deliver their lines and the body language and facial expressions that come along with it. How do they make their character so believable and deliver their lines so naturally? Studying the work of well-known actors will help you perfect your own skills.

These are all great ways to fine tune your talents to ensure you have what it takes to be that go-to actor time and time again. Continue to learn and you will continue to get booked!

5 Ways to Work With Not Against, Your Anxiety

5m · Published 03 Jan 17:00

Anxiety is scary. Not only if you want to be the world’s best actor or actress, but in general. It can give you panic attacks and cause you to freeze and forget your lines when you need to be on point the most. If you want to make it in the entertainment world, you’ll need to come up with strategies to manage your anxiety. Here are a few tips for doing just that.

Here’s the first way to work, not against, your anxiety.

Despite some of the self-talk you may be doing, it can be difficult to overcome anxiety, especially when you’re put right on the spot. Of course, acting requires you to become comfortable with being put on the spot, so you’ll need to come up with ways to manage your nerves and not go into freeze mode whenever you’re in front of a casting director or camera. One of the best ways to do this is to master some breathing techniques. There are a ton of these available online and it’s important that you tackle those that seem best for you. Take a look at what’s out there and see which seem the most interesting. Then, you can determine what exercises seem the most fun.

Here’s the second way to work, not against, your anxiety.

Another way to overcome your anxiety is to socialize more. Yes, it’s true. Just getting out with friends and family can help you overcome any reluctance to express confidence in front of others. The more social you are, the easier it becomes. Schedule some time to meet up with those you care about and reassure yourself that you can be okay sharing how you feel. This will help you learn to let go of some of the anxiety that comes with auditioning and playing your role to its fullest.

Here’s the third way to work, not against, your anxiety.

Anxiety will probably, from time to time, cause you to freeze on the spot. This can be particularly frustrating, especially if you’re in front on a CD or in the middle of a scene. To help ensure this doesn’t happen, try to stay in the here-and-now. Remind yourself of the ground beneath your feet and practice other grounding techniques that will help you stay focused on the task at hand. Bringing all your awareness to your breath is a known technique for instantly becoming calm and more relaxed in the moment. This practice is called Mindfulness. Again, you can find many other techniques online.

Here’s the fourth way to work, not against, your anxiety.

Don’t overthink everything. Yes, this seems next to impossible when you are in the middle of something that will make or break your opportunity to step into a role, but this is possible. The more you overthink it and give yourself anxiety, the harder it can be to feel centered and ready to give it your all. Use the above techniques to focus more on what you’re doing and get out of your own head!

Here’s the fifth way to work, not against, your anxiety.

Just be yourself. A lot of times, there seems to feel like there is overwhelming pressure to be someone else. This is what acting is all about, right? At the end of the day, you are who you are, though, and you’ll need to stay true to this to make this career work. So, don’t forget who you are and keep this in mind, first and foremost.

Anxiety can be overwhelming if you don’t have the tools to keep it at bay. Remember to breathe, stay focused and be who you are. Even though you’re playing a part, at the end of the day, this is what it’s all about!

4 Ways to Memorize Your Lines Like a Pro

5m · Published 30 Dec 18:00

Memorizing lines can be challenging for many actors. And yet, there are a few tricks to the trade that can help you memorize more quickly if you’ve landed a gig and are given a script. The process may seem daunting at first, but practice makes perfect!

Here is the first way to memorize your lines like a pro.
First and foremost, you need to take care of yourself. Make sure you are getting enough rest. Research has shown losing half a night’s sleep for just one night can limit your ability to focus and lead to memory loss (not over time, but immediately). If you get an adequate amount of sleep every night, you’ll be able to maintain your cognitive skills for longer period of time, which will help greatly as you memorize your lines.

Here is the second way to memorize your lines like a pro.
Once you’ve given the script, ensure you are in a quiet space and limit distractions so you can start to soak in every piece of it. You’ll need to be in a place that is free from distractions. Turn off your phone, or place it on silent, and sit somewhere comfortable. Limiting stimulus and discomfort is critical to ensure you’re able to focus on the task at hand and memorize the pages in front of you.

Here is the third way to memorize your lines like a pro.
Do a simple read-through first to memorize, taking a look at what is on the page without overthinking nonverbals. Then, return to it, adding in your character expressions, body language, etc., as you read. Visualize the scene and situation as if it were a real-world event you’re experiencing. This will help you internalize it a way that natural to the way our brains remember things. In no time, you will have the lines down and can shift your focus to making the role pop from the page. It’s important to know what your character is supposed to say before understanding mannerisms, idiosyncrasies and quirks, body language and the like. These things are all key must-knows, but you need to understand what the character is going to say first in order to know what movements should accompany the dialogue.

Here is the fourth way to memorize your lines like a pro.
A tried-and-true method for memorizing dialogue is to write down the lines on a blank piece of paper as you begin to commit them to memory to see how many lines you’ve actually mastered. This way, you’ll have a solid understanding what you have down pat and what you need to continue to work on. Research has also shown that completing an action while you are reading is a powerful way to commit the words to memory. Of course, this won’t work for everyone. However, if you tend to be someone who is easily distracted, try keeping your hands or legs busy while you’re peering down at the paper in front of you. Having the whole body engaged could help you to memorize your lines more quickly.

These are just some of the tricks you can consider when you’re trying to learn your lines. Chances are, you’ll find a way that works best for you and once you have this down, it will be easy to memorize pages and come to the set fully prepared.

5 Ways to Get Connected Quickly

5m · Published 30 Dec 18:00

Entertainment is a who’s who industry. You’ll want to work on connecting with the right people and doing so quickly so you can get your career off and running as soon as possible. There are many ways to expand your reach, both online and off. Here are a few tips for getting connected and making a name for yourself.

Here is the first way to get connected quickly.
If you haven’t done so already, you’ll want to establish a solid social media presence. It is essential to stay connected on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and any other social media sites that will help you establish a brand. Just make sure to be consistent with your branding across channels and establish a cohesive look that best represents the image you’re hoping to project to the world. In other words, don’t go all out with a futuristic design on one channel and claim to be into present-moment mantras on another. Of course, you’re human and you have different interests. Just ensure your marketing is meshes well across platforms. When visitors are intrigued rather than simply confused, they’ll be more apt to return.

Here is the second way to get connected quickly.
Immerse yourself in all things happening that you can feasibly attend. It will become much easier to find venues of interest after connecting to others in the industry online. Not only will you be privy to new castings and open calls, but classes, workshops and meet-and-greets will also pop up from time to time. Regularly check for updates so you don’t miss out and stay active on your accounts so you can stay connected and aware.

Here is the third way to get connected quickly.
Speaking of staying connected and active on your social, you can make yourself more interesting by engaging your followers through interactive means, such as posting questions about current events, polls, asking them what you should wear to an event, sharing videos – the sky’s the limit! The more interactive and engaged you are, the more likely you’ll be to quickly draw attention to yourself and grow your contact base.

Here is the fourth way to get connected quickly.
You’ll be meeting a ton of new people along the way in this career, so ask for their details up front or if they’re up to getting connected online mid-conversation. Building your contacts in the moment will help you get in the habit of networking on the spot, so you don’t forget to exchange info and regret it later.

Here is the fifth way to get connected quickly.
Be active and engaging when you attend classes, workshops, and other events. If an instructor is looking for someone to do a scene study, volunteer. Read lines with a partner? You’re in! Always be the brave soul that is willing participate.
