    Richard Fox’s Ten Tips for Making it Big:

    1. Quality Headshots Sell You – Have a variety of pictures taken from different angles that reflect “the real you.”
    2. Two-Minute Intro – Tape a brief, personal intro to demonstrate versatility to Casting Directors and industry pros. An RCA Small Wonder digital camcorder makes it simple to record, edit and share on TalentHunter.com.
    3. Practice, Practice, Practice! – Tape and watch your presentation so you can refine your performance and perfect your craft.
    4. Get Honest Feedback – Share taped and live performances with trusted friends and family. Ask for honest feedback, then refine your act.
    5. Do Your Homework – Leave nothing to chance. Auditions are where industry pros make final casting decisions. Be prepared and it will show.
    6. Market Yourself – Industry pros find the actor they’ve visualized for the part at auditions, so know what they’re seeking, show your range and dress appropriately.
    7. Be Professional – Everyone wants to work with people who are easy to work with, so show you take direction well and know what you’re doing. Enter auditions with confidence and smile!
    8. Get into Character – Stay focused, be creative and get into character when performing.
    9. Interaction is Essential – Remember to relate to acting partners and props during an audition, just as you would after booking the part.
    10. Know When to Exit – Exit politely and promptly after your audition, unless the panel tells you otherwise.

    Bonus Tip: Work Your Contacts – Network with other actors on TalentHunter.com and friends in the industry because it’s all about who you know!
