A Child Actor's New Year's Resolution
It's that time of year when we are deciding on our New Year's resolution. Will we declutter? Will we improve our image? Will we stop procrastinating?
While these are all great ideas for self-improvement, they can also apply to our acting careers.
At Children In Film we want to help you start your year off right, so if your resolution is to accomplish new things with your child's acting career, here are some great suggestions for how to get started.
De-clutter that desk! Are headshots and resumes taking over the family office? Seeking representation and auditions is not an easy task, and if you're doing it "the old way" it isn't cheap either. ChildrenInFilm.com simplifies this process by eliminating the need to print and send hundreds of headshots and resumes each month. Enhanced Membership allows you to submit online, directly to casting directors, managers and agents. It is simple, fast and most importantly inexpensive. Your resume and unlimited photos are stored online and you can access and submit them any time!
Improve your image. Acting as a career is a constant process, and even seasoned actors work regularly to improve their skills. If your child is just beginning in the industry, experience and classes are a must. Children In Film provides a Membership Directory filled with acting coaches, classes, head shot photographers, photo retouchers and more. Plus, if your child is beginning to land roles, why not publicize it? Children In Film will be launching a new service in 2009 where you can have press materials written and published, specifically about your child's work! Stay tuned or contact us for details.
Stop Procrastinating. Okay, when we're as busy as we are, this isn't an easy one. However, preparing ahead of time will make everything run more smoothly. KidStart offers a lot of tips for being prepared including getting organized, photos, classes, resumes, finding representation, education and more.
Plus, our permit service allows you to get your permit ahead of time (plus it comes with renewal reminders so you don't have to think about it). The last thing you want is to land a job and realize you don't have a permit.
These resolutions should get you in gear for the new year and they come with the added bonus of helping you save money - and that's a resolution we all deserve to keep!
