How can I get some acting/modeling jobs and what do I need?

Question

I pretty much just have acting experience from school. As far as modeling and photography goes, I have never had a job.

I know I need a porfolio. What do I need to include in a porfolio and how do I make it?

What else do I need and where can I find some good opportunities?

Answer 1

acting

community theater or any theater near you.

tips-

1. ware only two colors one being black and the other being very calm nd pleasing to the eye. don't go all out in tie dye(even if u are trying out for a hippie)

2. never dress act or sing anything like the musical you are auditioning for. casting directors think its suck uppish.

3. come prepared an know your material well (music , extra copies of your monologue for casting director, know part...)

Modeling

look on-line (barbizon is a good one)

tips:

1. come neutral and don't over do your self

2. get a head shot bye a pro. photographer

Portfolio- head shot and special talent (or weird but useful talents) Plays you have been in and what training you have had.

hope i helped :) for acting i do suggest getting some training (acting singing dancing community theater)
