    Start repeating "we buy gold". Next step, start spinning homemade signs. The next audition comes...its a sure thing.

    Landscaping or maintenance. I have a BS in programming and during a tough time after getting laid off the only thing I could do to survive was landscaping. Go apply at a school or a hospital as a landscaper. Its a relatively easy job to get and a good way to get in shape.

    I don't know how to scape land though.

    You are really young aren't you? How old are you?

    I got offered $45-$50 for my dirty white socks. All I had to do was wear them all day then sell them to the guy.

    Dirty white socks is code for panties, right? That is about the going rate...I hear.

    Oh okay then. So I can't wear like natural makeup? I mean I have skin problems a little.

    *If you're comfortable showing your skin problems, then take a decent head shot of that. You could get sent to commercials call outs for skin issues, get products and get paid too. Range could be a skincare product or dermatologists looking to showcase treatments their skin clinics provide. You're lucky that you are close to Atlanta. It's like a new LA and NY for skin related castings. This is one angle of versatility.

    * Do apply a "no makeup flawless natural fresh look" for your "All American" look. Fresh!

    Okay cool. Is there a website you can go to? There's one I was on but I can't remember what it was called...Talent something....Casting something...ExploreTalent? Would that be good? Also do you have any tips on camera angles for shots? And what do you mean "dress me" you mean they'll have my size?

    Are you really serious, or just playing? I'm actually broke but my mom cooked though.

    how old are you?

    That seems to be the one question that they are avoiding. From some answers, I think they're quite young since their parents still tell them what they can and can't do

    There are many talent agencies and scouts out there. I would much prefer you prepare yourself to go to Central Casting Atlanta, then see of you would like to sign with an affiliate Talent Agency who generally have agents on site. A good number of them charge up front, north of $150 per month for young adults(18-21), I believe.

    Some take a cut from jobs they send you too, so just ask a family friend to read through the legalese for you@percentage per job - your cut vs their cut. The positive here is they're going to keep sending you out. Each talent has a quota to meet. A desk agent will make certain you earn.

    @angles. Set your camera to take multiple shots after you have decided on a background and perfect distance for your headshots. You will need to keep taking photos until you're satisfied with an angle, lighting, face profile , clothing positioning you can live with.

    @full body shots ... Active shots are best with a lifestyle photography finish. Think: Hiking, tennis, gym work, planking.

    @dress you. Yes. Wardrobe always has something to add to what you're wearing ... Or gives you something to wear. They will not approach you to dress, if they don't have your size.

    Central Casting advertises general call outs too. If you're free on those days, go on location. You may not have the look for a speaking role ... But they tend to use whomever turns up for background scenes ( these are never advertised). To start, you could make $100 that day or more depending. Help yourself to craft service. Don't be distracted. Don't be shy. Be hungry. Every role can be your role. If they come to the tent and ask, " who can play a nerdy biker girl? " Get up and say that you can. They're going to take you to wardrobe.

    Good point km8907. That would be porn@Casting Couch. Doubt it's even handled under the Adult Scenes division within SAG.

    Central Casting is SAG-AFTRA affiliated Jay, hence my insistence that you start there. If an actor, even background actors, was asked to be nude, Central Casting would have an agent in charge on set. Contracts slightly differ when nudity is concerned. Meaning they need to pay the actor more, just as they will be compensated too for your agreement. Granted, they wouldn't "not advise" their talents if a nudity requirement was called for on set.

    Lawn mowing and snow shoveling made good bucks for me when i was a kid. Also window washing and doing odd jobs for people can pay. Also pound the pavement and ask local businesses for work, someone may appreciate your initiative and give you a job.

    @rhenry2424

    Which was it, $45 or $50 ?


    by the way.... is this guy also in the market for a pair of slightly worn, unwashed, swim trunks that or may not be laying in the corner of a guest room closet ?

    I'm asking for a friend.

    I was offered, I never accepted. I was kinda weirded out by the whole conversation that lasted about an hour...

    He did not want my panties, so I am sure he would not want the swim trunks.

    yeah, that makes sense... but, if you don't ask, the answer is always: No.
