1- Determine the type of talent you want to be

Whether you’re new to this or not, it’s your lifelong passion. It’s important to understand the many subsets of being a talent and the industry itself. Is it modeling? Is acting on stage in front of a live audience your thing? Or are you more inclined toward lending your voice to commercials and animation? Or maybe you are a dancer or a singer? You might be skilled behind the camera instead. There is also a chance of you being a fashion enthusiast, hair, or make-up artist. Being a talent with Mixfame can be many things. While you can certainly pursue more than one medium and being a jack of all trades, it’s helpful to have a sense of the thing you want to do so you’re not applying for jobs blindly as it won’t help you with landing the correct ones for you.

Know your skills, enhance them, learn new ones maybe and apply for the jobs that fit your talent. But that doesn’t mean that you can always try new things. We are here to help.

4- Make sure your Mixfame profile is in its best shape

Creating and having a current and regularly updated Mixfame profile is an absolute must. Not only will this allow you to quickly and easily apply for gigs, but it will also help you to stay on top of the list of others and highlight your profile as a first choice when casting directors scout for talents. Again, your profile is a reflection of yourself. There is no limit to how much you can enhance it and keep it clear and rich. It’s your ticket to your career goal. The more, the merrier.

To have better chances of standing out, make sure your headshots are recent, meaning they reflect your current age and look professionally done, it’s the first thing any casting director will come across. (You may check our previously posted blogs on how to upload the best headshots and photos). Mixfame can also assist you with having a great headshot and you may also book a photoshoot session with our team, either by getting a free one by upgrading your profile or by booking one.

As another tip, ensure your previous experience and jobs are up-to-date and any self-tapes or relevant media are uploaded properly on your profile.

In every industry, one can always learn more. To nail that audition and get selected for that role you are applying for, you need to always be on top of your game, and to accomplish that, every person should hone his craft and shine above others. One of the best ways that we recommend is always to look for online and offline classes for whatever talent you have. No matter how much knowledge you have as a talent, there is always more to it. Learning and practicing will get you there.
