Over the next several blog postings, we will be going over the five essentials to performing “your Barbizon best” in commercials or other acting roles: The essentials are #1~ Wardrobe, #2~ Memorization, #3~ Shooting Day, #4~ The Shoot Begins! #5~ Working on the Set.

#1~WARDROBE:

1. Wardrobe is usually provided so you may be called in for a fitting. Normally, though, the person in charge of wardrobe will have been given your sizes by your agency and there will be several outfits there to be chosen from.

2. Be as helpful as possible by bringing in anything you think they might need to complete your look.

3. Don’t be offended if the clothes they select are terrible. Their taste, or lack of it, may be quite different from yours.

Next week #2: Memorization. In the meantime, check out what Barbizon has to offer in their Acting Classes .
