Do you have The Look?

Being an actor is more than just being trained. It's also about having "the look." Do you have it? This doesn't mean looking like Brad Pitt or Angelina. It means creating a persona and knowing what or who you best play.

How do you find out what your look is? Ask your friends. Tell them to be blatantly honest. If someone off the street saw you, what would they guess you do for a living? Are you a student, a soccer mom, a librarian or a construction worker? Maybe you could fit a few of those roles.

If you get an answer you don't like, it is up to you to change it up a bit, change your look to best fit the roles you are trying to get!

More on "The Look" in a later blog.
