COMMERCIALS
Interested in Print Modeling or Commercials? Here three tips to get started!
Have commercial head shots taken by a professional photographer. Commercial head shots should be warm and friendly. A natural smile is always great!
Create a profile on ActorsAccess.com and CastingNetworks.com websites. All agents require you have a profile before working together. You can use these sites to submit yourself for auditions!
Get an Agent. Here is a list of agents that I love in NYC. You can also do a Google search. Most of them have places on their websites to submit yourself for representation. A red flag to look out for is if an agency asks you for any money up front or try to sell you photo packages. Agents only get 10% after booking. You can also sign up for paid workshops and meetings with agents and casting directors at Actors Connection, The Actors Green Room and, One on One.

I hope these tips help you get started!
One last tip: When I first started in 2008, I took a commercial class with Brooke and Mary. They are amazing commercial casting directors. I met most of the agents I work with now at one of their workshops. Check them out!
Fun fact: I love taking pictures! My work as a theatre actress in NYC naturally progressed to on-camera work and I have had the opportunity to appear in dozens of commercials and print ads. I am currently represented by:
