I may only be the book keeper at Boca Talent, but I've learned a few things as I cut the checks in this office, watching the talent come and go...

 

Here are some words of advice to new talent wanting to break in as the world's next top supermodel:  Boca Talent and Model Agency isn’t for you.

 

But we do a lot of commercials, TV and some film and print. You can make a living in the commercial acting/modeling business if you can read from a teleprompter, can follow directions to new places in Miami or wherever the casting call or the call back is shooting and you have the right attitude.

 

Other words of advice: Don’t get lost and forget to call us. Don’t turn down jobs. Or decide not to show to a time-slotted casting call, and forget to tell us. Sounds simple right? You wouldn’t believe how many instances we encounter where actors and models do just that… and the excuses are unbelievable.  I came up with better in the third grade.

 

And don’t forget to send us your new comp cards or headshots on a yearly basis. You change, styles change and what directors look for also change. You want to work? Then please make sure you keep your profile up-to-date.

 

Finally: Listen to us. We know what we’re doing.

 

That's it for now.
