Is it finally time to audition …. yet?
The first question that must be asked is,
How do you get noticed? What would someone notice about you?

- Do you appear professional?
- Are you comfortable displaying emotion?
You are about to enter an exciting period of fine tuning your physical appearance so it can be viewed by casting directors who conduct the initial auditions.
Do I need to change my physical appearance?
This is the time to present the real you in a photograph. A time to present the essence of who you truly are. A time to present the image you want to convey. It’s the moment in time when one snap of a camera can capture how you want to be viewed.
