Date book


Date book:
Get a date book immediately. This is your main tool for this business. Some agencies produce their own with pertinent phone numbers and information important to their models. You need to buy a generic daily planner with enough space to write down castings, appointments, and fittings in each day. Everything should be written in detail.

Write in pen if it’s for sure and pencil if it’s pending.

For example, if your agency books you for a job, be sure to write down all the details in pencil. This mean it is not for sure. Once your agency confirms the information, re-write in ink.

Record what you wore to audition, who you met, the directions, etc. You may need this information later.
