Hello my a-listers! I've been writing more about modeling lately and have been neglecting acting. Honestly, it's just because I prefer talking about modeling and the job itself, but I'll try to keep this blog even on both lines of work.  In my last post I talked about how I signed with my first modeling agency , so I figured that I should share how I signed with an acting agency and what my experience was like. If you have been following my blog for awhile now, you'll know that I got started in my career abroad, so let this commemorate my first post about working in America. Yay! This agency that I signed with was honestly nothing special. I wasn't living in LA at the time, and was just searching for agencies near my hometown that I could sign with. I figured that signing with at least one agency could open doors to my career here in America, and also make me seem more legit when applying to agencies in Los Angeles. In my hometown, there are two real agencies ...

Hello my a-listers! This morning I thought I'd share the process of signing with my first agency. As I've mentioned in my previous post,  I initially worked in entertainment abroad.  So, this blog post will detail the experience of signing with that agency. Upon returning to America, I did sign with an American agnecy, but I'll get into that in another post.

Now, most agencies have three options when it comes to applying: Online.  This seems to be the current trend thanks to the digital boom. It also makes it easier for agencies since they say they will only reply to your application if they are interested in you. Therefore, they don't have to spend so much time going t...

Hello my A-listers! Just thought of that nickname the other day, and thought it was cute, so let's roll with it for now. Welcome to Life on That A-list! Today, I thought I would share how I got my first professional modeling job. While this job was a legitimate gig and helped launch my career, I was unsigned at the time. I'll get into how I ended up with this job without an agency later. In the meantime, let's start at the beginning. If you read my previous post ( which you all should! ) I discussed how I got my first professional acting job. Unlike many people who spends years  trying to break into the world of television, television was actually my first job. And this job wasn't with some random channel 10000 that no one cared about, it was with the most prestigious network in the country. If you want to know the whole story,  make sure to read it, because this posts ties together with that one. Anyway, following the completion of the television show, I now ha...
