Instagram model
How to look like a model in your Instagram photos all you need is an iPhone good lighting and
the right angles the best time to shoot is during sunrise or sunset or taking your pictures like this
you're going to look like a bobblehead Because the closest thing to the camera will appear the
largest so in order to show the length of your body and bring the camera lower it because of
lower angle will elongate your body posing to it for full body is the stand on your tippy-toes and
turn 3/4 this is a bad angle of bad lighting this is a good angle with good lighting with the
exception of the Shadow on my stomach it should technically be evenly lit.
How to pose your face like a model
Every day we use our facial muscles to make expression this is my face totally relaxed
pose my face I lift my brows up but not too much just lift your brows a little bit so your
eyes lifted once I'm at a photoshoot I actually saw models use this with airlift to create a
little more volume in her upper lip just make sure you don't do it too much or else you're
going to look like a duck you can inhale to make your nose appear slimmer but don't
overdo just thought I'd like this a trick to make your neck appear slimmer you can bring
your chin forward towards the camera like this it feels super awkward when you're doing
it I mean look what I look like from the side my chin is completely forward but from the
front, you would never know if you're posting from the side move your jaw towards the
camera to create a more sharp and defined jawline like this again it's going to feel really
awkward look what I look like from the front This is why you're not successful first of
This is why you're not successful first of all you're waiting around for people like your
mommy and daddy or teachers are your friends will yourself accountable for the things
that you should be holding yourself accountable for you should also realize that
successful people don't wait until the kids to ask successful until you become a
successful person what does the successful how did they walk how do they talked how
do they eat how do they handle problems what is their self-talk sound like how do they
spend their day and who do they surround themselves with
If you've ever wondered what a model eats in a day would come grocery shopping with
me I'll do be able to see I get a lot of my food fresh I try to avoid processed food and the
only downside to that is frustrated been quicker so you might have to throw in the freezer
if you think you're not going to get to it in time also know I don't have any food allergies
at least that I'm aware of so I don't have any diet regulations necessarily I kind of just try
to stay away from there as much as possible with the exception of cheese do they look
cheese and basically, my rules on throughout the day are to pair a lean protein with a
veggie for every single all I keep fruit throughout the day as well I don't honestly stick by
the 3 meal a day rule I'm more so snack disclosure I do not eat like this all the time I
generally eat healthily but I'm eating extra healthy right now because I'm swimming
coming up and this is how I get my body ready
How to pose like a model obviously what you're wearing will play a big role in how you
post but I do have a formula I start every link with some basic poses it could be as
simple as this, for example, I'm leaning with my head's to create some drama posing is
making things look effortless with a little bit of spice so instead of just sitting on the
chair create interesting shapes with your body you can even really sell the pants I love
the contrast to my shots and makes it more interesting photo so even though I'm wearing
something elegant I'm sitting more relaxed poses
Every actor carves their unique path to success. These nine essential
tips can help you establish yourself as an industry professional:
1. Set a schedule. The best way to take advantage of the time
between jobs and auditions is to use it to improve your skillset.
Create a routine that mimics a conventional workday: Start each
day at a set time and devote yourself to improving different
components of your craft. Incorporate voice work, full-body
conditioning, and reading scripts into your daily routine. Adhering
to a consistent routine will enhance your skills, putting you in the
best position to nail your next audition.
2. Network with other industry professionals. Befriending other
actors can make working in major industry hubs like Los Angeles
or New York City less intimidating for new actors. Networking
within your peer group is invaluable in the entertainment industry.
You should also network with aspiring directors who can
potentially cast you in their next film or theatrical production.
When networking, look for possible connections that you share
with another professional outside of entertainment. Cultivating a
friendship in the networking process can have a meaningful
impact on your personal and professional growth.
3. Create with your peers. When you find a group of like-minded
creatives in the entertainment industry, brainstorm ways to
collaborate for free or with a small budget. If your group includes
actors, screenwriters, and directors, you can put together a live
theatre performance. If you have a friend with a camera and
lighting setup, your group can create a short film or web series
centered in your apartment. Outside of producing new work, you
can also gather with your acting peers for character studies,
table reads, and rehearsing. Your new acquaintances can
become a fully realized creative team.
4. Seek representation. While new actors aren’t typically on the
radar of major talent agencies like CAA, WME, or UTA, you can
affiliate with a smaller acting agency. Affiliating with a talent
agent can open the door to auditions, but you’ll need to perform
thorough research to ensure the agency is a good fit for your
needs. Talk to existing clients, search online for feedback, and
ask your peer group and acting teacher if they have experience
with the agency. If you aspire to write and perform, consider
seeking out a manager. Managers may be a better fit for writers
and directors, but they can help balance the full portfolio of an
actor's endeavors. It’s important to note that agents and
managers typically commission at least 10 percent of your gross
earnings on a project.
5. Be courteous to casting directors. Casting directors are always
seeking young actors and seasoned actors to fill the casting
needs of their clients. Be courteous and professional when
submitting headshots and resumes to casting directors. As a
general rule, it's best to maintain a professional relationship to
avoid projecting the idea that you're just trying to befriend them
to score the job.
6. Take classes. Acting is a craft that requires practice,
reassessment, and fine-tuning. Taking group classes or studying
with a personal acting coach, can be an excellent way to hone
your craft between jobs and auditions. There are many private
acting schools in New York and L.A. targeted toward working
and aspiring actors. These classes can help you improve your
skills and meet new peers.
7. Practice on camera. Many actors begin their acting careers in
live theatre, which involves different performance techniques
than on-camera acting. The camera exaggerates detail; what
may feel like a subtle facial expression may come across as
over-the-top upon scrutiny from the camera. Use your phone to
record your next rehearsal, then review your on-camera acting
work to better understand how your face and body language
project onscreen.
8. Be on time. Whether you're heading to an audition room, a
rehearsal, a film set, a talent agent's office, or the first day of
drama school, arrive within fifteen minutes of the scheduled
meeting time. Being on time is a mark of professionalism, and it
shows the other party that you respect their time. Arriving late to
a rehearsal or audition can make you appear unprofessional and
flustered, compromising your ability to perform at your highest
level.
9. Take care of your mental health. Show business is a highly
competitive industry that is rife with rejection. You can audition
dozens of times before receiving a callback, so it’s essential to
reinforce your confidence so that you can better handle rejection
and criticism about your performance. Practicing meditation,
yoga, or mindfulness exercises is a great way to help balance
the stressors of the job. If you notice a marked difference in your
attitude, sleeping patterns, or eating habits, consider reaching
out to a mental health professional for support.
10. Acting is doing word unless you are continuously practicing
new movies this gives you already of macerated establishing any
kind of the team and its predator will be advantageous for your
skills. If you want to hit the gym once a week or where you would
request but no one can argue that you going that going 5 days a
week for a smaller amount of time can make you fitter its called
compound interest and you can collect that interest all year
round.
vv1. Where are you? Remember to take a moment before you begin the
audition to establish in your imagination exactly where you are. The
environment is a crucial stimulus. It takes a brief moment to orient
yourself into the place. Without that connection, it can sometimes be
very hard to see anything other than the audition room.
2. What is your relationship? You should have a good sense of who you are
speaking to and what they mean to you. While this sounds like it should be
obvious, many actors don’t make a strong enough choice regarding their
feelings about this person, which can lead to a weak objective in the piece. As
soon as the objective weakens, the moments become less important.
4. Where are you coming from? Emotionally and physically. What just
happened to you to cause the first moment of your scene? Something should
already be going on in you before you begin. The first moment is yours
whether you have the first line or not. You must always be coming from
something and going to something.
One of my mentors always reminds me, you should not be doing the scene,
the scene should be doing you. The audition room, the taping room, can
sometimes take over the creative actor and remove their imaginations for a
moment. Sometimes it shocks you out of your magical place and reminds you
of all sort of things to think about that distract you from the basics of how to
engage in a scene. If you have prepared properly, it should take only
moments to re-engage into these five things. Give yourself the breath you
need to connect to them and set yourself up for a successful audition where
you feel attached to the material through place, relationships, events, and
actions. You know these basic principles; they will always hold true and they
will always work. Trust in them, then let the organic moments happen to you.
Although acting classes in a studio setting, like those offered by New York Film
Academy, are the best way to practice, actors can perform solo exercises to improve
their craft. Monologues, imagination exercises, vocal exercises, and the simple act of
reading scripts are all effective ways for actors to progress.
