“Recently, I attended the Aaron Marcus Acting/Modeling Boot Camp. Even though I have had some experience as an extra in movies and TV, I was able to walk away with valuable information to help me pursue my interest in commercial work. I really enjoyed Aaron's honest, down to earth, and humorous approach in presenting the information to a very heterogeneous group of individuals. I particularly enjoyed learning about special techniques to use during a shoot. His expertise and obvious integrity not only validated my interest in the field, but made me realize that I really am capable of having a successful career in commercial modeling.”

From Janice, NJ

I am a licensed makeup artist, and want to work with models and actors. Any suggestions?

Dear Janice:

I would contact some photographers and offer to do a few free makeup sessions for people either getting head shots or photos for their comp card. Once you get a few photos of the talent you worked on, then arrange meetings with a number of local agents to discuss representation. People will need to see samples of your work before they would consider representing you.

If you thought this was helpful, imagine how much you will learn from reading "How to Become a Successful Commercial Model." and by attending my Acting/Modeling Boot Camp.
