What do you need to be cast in commercials?
You need the right commercial head shot.
What is the "right" commercial head shot? I am sure you think you
know... But unless you have been a casting director for the past
ten years and have the experience of booking talent for commercials
then maybe, just maybe getting advice from someone who has a lot of
experience in working with major casting directors would not be a
bad idea.
The bottom line is, if you don’t have the right headshot and it is
not sent to the right commercial agencies, you will never ever know
if you have the potential to be signed with a great commercial
agency and see yourself earning hundreds of thousand of dollars
doing national commercials.
What are commercial agencies looking for?
Unlike the world of Modeling, don’t have to have a particular look for commercials. All kinds of people do commercials! Commercial agencies are always looking for all kinds of people. This means YOU can do commercials but you need the right tools to make this dream a reality… the right head shot and then to know where to send the head shot to. Make sense?
Do I need a video reel?
It is not a bad idea to have one but it is not mandatory. Once you start doing commercials you will put your commercials onto your reel and then you will be presenting your headshot and your commercial reel. But to start, it is not mandatory, but it sure doesn’t hurt. What kind of reel should you have done? How long should it be? How much will you need to spend? Get in touch with us now to find out.
