Photographers

Note: When you decide to shoot new headshots, make sure you MEET with at least two different photographers.

Even though a certain photographer is recommended to be one of the best in the city, this does not mean he is the best photographer for you.There might not be any chemistry between the two of you and that lack of chemistry will show definitely in your headshots. We recommend you do your homework and meet with different photographers to make sure you feel comfortable with your headshot session. That being said, here some of excellent photographers to interview:

Acting Classes/Teachers/Coaches

Note: As mentioned above in the photographer section, it is always a great idea to interview the acting teacher or even audit one of his classes before you enroll.

Even though a certain teacher is recommended to be one of the best in the city, this does not mean he is the best teacher for you. His technique may work great for your friend, but not for you. We recommend you do your homework and meet with different teachers to make sure you feel comfortable with the class. That being said, here some of excellent teachers to interview:

M.K. Lewis Author of "Your Film Acting Career". Excellent on-camera classes.

Amy Lyndon Teaches the "Amy Lyndon Booking Technique". Her students book jobs. Extremely reasonable prices.
