“I purchased and read your book on How to Become a Successful Commercial Model a few months ago. Literally within the last week I decided to put myself "out there" and the response in 7 days has been UNBELIEVABLE. I've gotten 3 casting calls, 1 print job, was accepted and hired as a promotional model, and already have two modeling agencies requesting me as new talent. Plus, there are at least 3 jobs pending. I'm very excited of course, I had no idea I was this marketable. Your book has helped me feel much more comfortable and confident about the various processes. I went to my first casting call yesterday and (although I was still a little nervous) I knew what to bring with me and had a basic idea of what to expect. Oh, and the best part, I got the job. Thank you for putting in the time to write and publish this book! It's helped me so much already and I'm just getting started!”

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.
