Beauty is in the eye of the beholder—68 different beholders in the case of Tommer Leyvand’s new “beautification engine.” The software, featured in a story in the New York Times, takes preferences from a poll of 68 men and women from Israel and Germany who looked at pictures and chose the most beautiful subjects. Measuring common traits like smaller eyes, rounder chins and higher foreheads…

Elizabeth Dillon at HB Studios in NY was one of the best teachers for beginning actors in the business. Her ability to be clear about acting choices set her apart from all the other teachers. Dillon said drama is heightened reality. Not just a sigh, but the most profound sigh. Not just a tear, but the most poignant tear. Not just a laugh, but a contagious laugh…

Except in some rare exceptions, aging sucks no matter what profession you are in. The mind works better and just as fast as at 30 but it just seems like the packaging doesn’t follow. Now add on to that that this profession is one which involves the factor of beauty, youth and health, and you have yourself a dilemma.

Whether we like it or not, its true that your face is your fortune. If you are Cameron Diaz, Halle Berry, or Brad Pitt, your face can and will open many doors for you; if you are not perceived as beautiful, reviewers might not focus on your acting. This happened to Kathy Bates, where critics like John Simon said things like “its a shame her leading man should play opposite an actress who is enormously overweight”.,,

“The camera adds 10 pounds”, “You always look bigger on film”, “If you lost just a few more pounds you would look better for this role”… We have all heard it before, its not just a mere myth, women AND men in the industry are really told such statements on a regular basis. So a new trend seemed to appear: The super –skinny…

If you don’t have one already, or you need a change, you should be doing research on finding a top-notch photographer who specializes in actors’ headshots. Get referrals and interview them, look at their portfolio and think about which one could take a better picture of you. AND about with whom you would feel more comfortable…

If you want to look just like the ever-cinnamon Jessica Alba, Brad Pitt, JLo, Eva Longoria, David Hasselhoff, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Simpson, then sun-less tanning is the way to go if you want to avoid premature wrinkles, over exposure or even skin cancer. Aside from the health benefits, there are also many career-specific benefits to the industry if you decide to use this method. First of all you possess a very wide range of “tones” to either match your skin tone or correct it! And when the camera or spotlight is on you that can make a big difference…

Its fundamentally important for an actor to present him/herself in a confident and professional manner. Specially because sometimes first-impressions are all we get with casting directors. So beside appearances, our body posture and our handshake need to match the “persona” we want to present. The perfect handshake is one that is not too aggressive but firm and made with a clear intent, with our hands clean and dry, and accompanied by a polite “hello” and a smile…

One of the biggest mistakes that new actors make is being a little too cocky or even disrespectful thinking that it would project more confidence and casting directors or producers would look at them as if they were someone who stands his own. WRONG!

People can read through silly tactics that only make you look bad, immature and like someone they don’t want to work with. But worse than being cocky is being insecure and…
