Look The Part - Actors & Models

If you've been called in by a casting director who's seen your headshot (as opposed to an open call), try to look as much like your photo as possible. Don't send in a picture and then change your hair color and hairstyle.

If you've been called in by a casting director who's seen your headshot (as opposed to an open call), try to look as much like your photo as possible. Don't send in a picture and then change your hair color and hairstyle.

Be professional and neat in appearance. An audition is very much like an interview. You don't want to wear anything that might be considered sloppy or inappropriate.

Make sure you're age appropriate. If you're auditioning for a Disney role, be sure to look fresh and youthful. If you're going after a more mature role, make sure your hair, makeup and outfit reflect that.

Be trendy and fashionable, but don't over do it. You don't want to show up in anything that will distract from your audition.

Make sure you're comfortable. You don't want to inhibit your ability to perform because you're insecure about what you're wearing, or because your feet hurt.

Remember, you only get one chance to make a first impression. So one of the most important things you'll need to wear is a winning, confident smile.

About Author

My name is Jonathan Parker and I'm the Founder and CEO of Star Search Casting, Inc. ( http://www.StarSearchCasting.com ). Back in 1998, after working in the entertainment industry for a number of years as a talent scout, I became aware of so many individuals with tremendous potential that just weren’t getting the exposure they needed to succeed. That’s when I first conceived of Star Search Casting as a way to help people be “discovered” by getting their faces and resumes in front of thousands of entertainment professionals who were in the position to hire them. Years in development, Star Search Casting became not only the most sophisticated casting site with the most advanced search engine, talent database, and tools to help you get maximum exposure, it also became the number one site where industry professionals go to find new talent!! I can’t tell you how absolutely thrilled I am that SSC has achieved the goal I had in mind when it was originally created!
