Hi!

I made a Modeling Advice and an Acting Advice playlist on my YouTube Channel. 

Enjoy!

X No momagers. 

Their kid always comes 1st which I respect as a person but not ideal for my team. 

X No ultimatums.  

X No teams. 

I want 1 manager not 2. You’d think it’d make them more efficient but it ends up being the opposite

X Communication poor after only 3 months

X They cast their clients in their production company’s projects

X They recommend bad coaches

X I have to explain gender VS sexuality to them

X I have to explain Hispanic VS Latina (and Latine) to them

O They have actual connects, they don’t just submit me on casting sites to see what fits️

O They want a business friendship, not a toxic familial one️

O They tailor communication style to the client (very helpful for my ADHD)️ 

O They respect my boundaries and bookout dates (unless it’s a big opportunity, then let’s chat!)️

O They get what to do with my unique type ️ 

O They have a 3 month + 6 month + 1 year plan️

O When I ask if they know publicists, they immediately give me a list️

O They answer my questions on the industry️

O If they wanna rep me for modeling & acting they need high fashion knowledge / connects️ 

O Same beliefs (political & social)️ 

O They’re willing to do a trial period before signing a contract to make sure we’re a good long-term fit️ 

O They drop the wall after a reasonable amount of time. 

(i.e. They invite me to their bday party after being my manager for 10 yrs and vice-versa. But doing that off the rip year 1 makes me think they don’t have good boundaries.)

Here are some acting classes that I have taken and recommend. 

I’ll update this list with the more classes I take. 

Howard Fine

• I like their classes but be warned they are strict and very down-to-business
  
• They don’t accept actors who don’t have major network guest star credits for their in-person workshop where Howard teaches you personally in LA
  

Joseph Pearlman’s Acting Academy

Actor’s Connection NY

Danielle Eskinazi’s Commercial Workshop

Lisa London’s Audition for Camera Class

Improv at UCB

Benton Whitley’s Musical Theatre Technique Workshop

Improv at Groundlings

Now, to be honest, most Models and Photographers never use paperwork. But, with my traumatic experiences as a Freelance Model, I have to insist Freelance Models, unprotected by a mother agency, use this template or some version of it. Too many times did Photographers ask me to get naked, invite people to our shoots I didn’t know were joining us, not provide a changing area, leave me to do all the photo edits myself, inappropriately touch me, withhold raw images for months, and even threaten me etc…

Be safe out there! <3
