If you are searching to perfect your eyebrows, make sure you have the following all important eyebrow tools!
First, consider the role for which you will audition for. Decide which clothing will complement the character but don’t dress in a costume unless you were asked to do so by your agent or casting director. This is not a good time to wear brand new clothes but rather clothing that makes you comfortable but yet confident.
Plan everything out down to the smallest details and make sure everything is cleaned and pressed. This should be done at least two days before the audition if possible so you don’t stress at the last minute.
Plan your makeup (if applicable) and accessories and remember the simpler the better for you.
Get a good night’s rest and wrap everything up with a smile, confidence and excellent body language and you’ll be set for a successful audition experience
A model’s appearance is everything in the modeling industry! Agents, managers and designers prefer to see a model in his/her most natural state. In other words, what you are and not what you could be.
A clean and moisturized face is a winning look. If you decide to wear makeup make sure your foundation is lightly applied, a bit of mascara and blush and a natural shade of lip gloss only. Remember that the decision makers want to see what you really look like!
Hair should be worn down and in its natural state. Whether your hair is curly or straight make sure you don’t have any frizz. Remember to keep your hair off your face during the audition.
Clothing must be simple, clean and form fitting. Don’t wear anything distracting because you want all eyes on you and not your outfit. Jeans – fitted or skinny and in dark denim is best. A simple top –tank top or simple tee or a fitted white shirt is best. Please, no cleavage! Black stilettos will give you extra height and make your legs look longer.
Jewelry should be kept at a serious minimum. Stud earrings and a watch will be the most you will want to wear. Again, remember that you don’t want your jewelry to distract from YOU!

Nail trend alert!!! “Nails, Inc.” has released a polish called Magnetic Attraction. The three metallic shades–gold, gray, and purple–contain iron powder and come with a magnet embedded in the cap. You apply a coat of the polish to each individual nail, and then hold the magnet over your nail to get a rippled effect. The effect is much more subtle than the crackle finish polishes. Will you try magnetic nail polish?

Most all acting wannabes spend a lot of time and energy learning how to act. What about the famous actors? Do they ever brush up on their professional skills? The answer is yes!
Individuals who are learning how to act attend acting classes. The famous actors hire an acting coach!
A sought after acting coach typically has taken acting classes, performed professionally and has tons of experience. An acting coach has mastered the technical and emotional elements of acting before becoming an acting coach. Many acting coaches have trained with the very best acting companies such as the Royal Shakespeare Company, Julliard School of the Arts, Actor’s Studio NYC to name just a few.
It’s no wonder that famous actors hire coaches to help them be the best they can be in front of the camera and audience!
How can you tell if you are a leader or a follower? Natural leaders have charisma, self-confidence, great interpersonal skills and can influence and motivate others.
Followers may have the same skills as a leader but prefer not to have the responsibility of a leader. Typically, followers like to “work behind the scenes” and implement the leader’s idea or vision. If you are a follower, make sure you follow leaders who know where they are going!
Most high fashion designers take their clothing line seriously and typically require their models to not smile while walking down the runway. The idea is that the audience will look solely at the fashion designs and not concentrate on the model’s face or personality. In other words, the models become walking mannequins. The exception would be a designer like Betsy Johnson! Her fashions are all about having fun. In fact, Betsy does her famous cartwheel after every runway show!
Commercial print modeling is all about selling a product and most models are required to smile and look friendly. Your local department store runway shows are more relaxed and you will see more smiling models working the runway.
If you are booked for a runway show the designer and/or choreographer will tell you precisely what type of facial expressions that want you to project.
