"Look who's breaking into the commercial biz now!"
Check out some new faces from Active Image featured in these Safe Auto commercials, you could be cast next!
 
Whether you have that "spunky" crowd pleasing personality or look like the neighbor "soccer Mom" who's just right for the part, these are just some of the unique qualities casting directors are looking for.
 
In addition to getting a "foot in the door" with your LOOKS or personality traits, getting the lead role can require years of practice and training for on camera speaking parts with multiple lines, use of teleprompter, ear prompter, and being able to adjust to last minute dialogue changes.
 
Our goal at Active Image is to continue to support the agencies talent in building "Principle" actors (higher paying bookings!) for local Producers. In order to gain that competitive edge we are offering you the chance to sharpen  your acting and on-camera skills through upcoming workshops (featuring "Celebrity" actors and special guests) through these classes you can even acquire your own commercial demo reel for immediate submits and castings.
 
Stay posted for more news and information through our MODEL CHAT page to keep you connected with castings and opportunities.

NEW Product find:

Ladies, are your eyelashes breaking and becoming so unhealthy from using harsh water proof mascaras that dry out and damage your lashes over time? We want to pass along a GREAT new product from Arbonne called lash enhancer that is FAB! Knowing that it's all herbal and botannically based products gives us the confidence in educating our models about the products. Get used to reading labels and know what's in the products that you're using on your face and skin as they could be creating harmful effects over time. We endorse Arbonne products at AIM and want to pass along our experiences with this wonderful new product. We offer monthly skin care and make up seminars FREE to our models. Contact the agency for more details on how you can learn more about this and other products.

Tips from the agency director: Walking the catwalk isn't as easy as the super models make it look. To keep your runway experience as smooth as possible you need to walk with a graceful pace and never walk to the beat of the music, as the pace may pick up and you don't want to rush your runway presentation. Maintain professionalism at all times, even behind the scenes of a fashion show, you never know who is watching you!  Make sure to always leave a positive impression at any assignment or go-see. You're not only representing yourself, but the agency as well.
