Standing out in a Competitive Market: You are CAPABLE!

Happy Saturday!

From base value, it’s very easy to get discouraged competing with millions of entertainers here in Los Angeles. We all dabble back and forth with the small fear of rejection in this business.

Being a manager in a competitive city with hundreds, I prepare myself not only physically but mentally. Through exercise, through positive reinforcement, through knowing that what God has prepared for me, is for ME in his timing.

Arm yourself with these few tips to help propel your business in show business:

Understand your style as an entertainer, and your unique goal plan.
This requires thinking outside of the box. Sure, everyone wants to be an actor in Los Angeles on a TV series. What kind of television series? Name a few actors similar to you — what are these people NOT doing on the big screen that you can come in and shine? Create a personal goal plan that is in-depth to help you stand individual from others.

How you choose to deliver your lines.
Believe it or not, how you chose to deliver your lines in a room can become a central focus of your branding. Do you have a unique voice? Pronounce your ‘a’ and ‘e’ differently than others? You may easily become known from standing out by innovating how you choose to deliver your auditions.

Building your contacts.
One method that will always make you more marketable in Hollywood is by who you know in this town. You may say how? Everyone networks in Hollywood. Certain connections will provide unique opportunities. Say you meet a director and he/she just loves what you bring to the table. They’re working on an undisclosed feature film. He/She informs you via text to audition, versus waiting for it to come out from your manager/agents. That kind of value cannot be bought. You are light years ahead of those who may not even know this project is being conceived. Imagine these kinds of connections times one-hundred. You’re set.

Keep shining like the star that you are.
