Last Month's Column:

I was told by an actor that I should put background actor on my resume instead of extra, because it sounds more professional, is that right?

Next Month's Column:

How do you get from the DC area to NY?

“I believe that Aaron's book is absolutely the best teaching aid I've ever used! It has everything anyone needs to know, from background information on commercial modeling, getting into the business, preparing for shoots....right down to the nuts and bolts of billing and agency representation. Best of all, I like the sample photos and composites. Thank you, Aaron!!”

From Tommy, GA

I live in Atlanta, but am planning on working with an agent in TN. If I get calls for auditions or go-sees in Tennessee, would I be responsible for my travel expenses?

Dear Tommy:

For go-sees and auditions, you will be expected to pay for your own transportation. If it is a booking, you can ask to have your travel expenses covered, but chances are they will not pay your travel costs. Since your agent is based in TN, you will be viewed as a local hire.

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.
