“I have one word for you... Professionalism.”

Scottsdale, AZ – Nothing broadcasts to the world that you're worth the money you're being paid than a sense of professionalism. First impressions are the lasting impressions and unfortunately far too many people squander those first impressions by showing a lack of professionalism. One of the obvious aspects of professionalism is just showing up on time. In a business where time is a premium, showing up on time is just good business. You must remember that you are your product.

Punctuality, knowing your lines, and presenting yourself as someone who knows what they're doing is just basic to the business of acting or modeling and could make the difference in getting your next job. Developing a reputation of professionalism is essential in furthering your career. Here are some points you should consider:

Arrived early to prepare yourself for any contingency.
Know where you’re going in advance. Make sure you have accurate directions.
Look the part... And that goes for both actors and models. Being appropriately dressed for example sends a signal that you take your job seriously.
Know your lines, if any. Whether it’s a trade show, commercial, or stage play, it is imperative to be familiar with your part.
Have all your necessary tools with you. Makeup, clothes, shoes, get as much information prior to the shoot as you can and be prepared.
Remember to smile... It seems insignificant, but it makes a difference.
Relax... Try not to fidget or be too nervous. Present an image of being cool and calm under pressure. It’s one of the things that separates the professional from the wannabe...
