Itβs true! You must be attractive to get auditions and book jobs. β
β
*π¨π’π΄π±*β
β
But by βattractiveβ we donβt mean six-packs, veneers and balayage. β

β
Attractive actors = ones who work hard, have a can-do attitude, have the ability to be present & stay-focused, and be a pleasant person to be around. β
β
Ok, ok, youβve heard those things before. β
β
So letβs get to the crux of the myth: do looks actually matter? β
β
A little. But maybe not in the way you think. β
β
YES, we have in-depth concept meetings/calls in order to narrow down our breakdowns as specifically as possible. β
β
Without doing so, weβd be blankly staring at a sea of submissions, not knowing what direction to take. β
β
But one thing we can say for certain and the overall point for todayβs Monday Myth Debunker is this:β
β
Your acting chops will beat your long-layered chops any day of the week. β
β
Things we know are easily changeable:β
β
1. Hair (style/color/cut/bangs)β
2. Facial hairβ
3. Piercings β
4. Small/minimal tattoos β
β
So the next time you worry that you haven’t nailed your “divorce attorney” look, consider this:β
β
We are much more concerned with finding the best actor. π£π²πΏπΆπΌπ±.β
β
You can easily trim a beard and dye hair, but you can’t buy emotional vulnerability in a box. Itβs just got to be there.β
β
We connect with people because they are authentic. β
β
We connect with people who look likeβ¦ people. β
β
We connect with people who look like YOU.β
β
Example: If youβre going in for the sleep-deprived, mom role: skip the fake lashes for this one (or maybe for all of them…)β
β

β
Youβll get to where you want to be a whole lot faster, and you’ll feel a lot freer in the meantime. β
