How to be in TV Commercials

If you are a petite girl like me (i am 5′2″) and want to be a model, you may want to consider TV Commercial & Print Ads.  Well, you can try for catwalk too, the new clothing lines might accept petite girls but i just don’t think it’s our bread and butter you know…not just yet.

I am fortunate enough to be exposed into TV Commercials and earned some extra cash out of them.  So i thought it would be cool to share with you girls who have the same interest as me.

What to do:

Getting Ready for the Casting

1. Put a nice clothes. Casting agents prefer plain tops. Try to avoid Black or   White.

2.Wear a pair of stilettos.  That will make you looked sexier, slimmer and taller.

3.Don’t wear a heavy make up. Keep it as natural as you can, but do not go without make up at all!  At least the basic ones i.e. foundations, loose powder, concealer, mascara and lip gloss or natural lipstick color.

4.Call the casting agencies and set up for appointment. I can give some of the names of Casting Agencies in Malaysia you can go to.

Famous Artistes – 03 7725 9661

D’Casting  - 03 2282 6133

Mugshots -03 6274 7963

*there are more, you can try google them – FACES, Mooka, Cheese…

At the casting agencies (or also called talent agencies), they will take your profile picture, some will take a video of you, and some even ask you to do a little bit of acting

So here’s what happened.  After they take your photos, profile and video, they will keep them as their talent records. Their job is as a ‘middle person’ between the Production houses (the company that shoots the commercials) and talents (you!).

So when the Production houses have ads to shoot they will call these talent agencies to get all talents profiles that meets the criteria of their clients. (Clients are those who pays the production houses to do their adverts i.e. Coca cola, Celcom…etc)

The talent agency will call you again to tell you whether you got a job or to go for shortlisted talents audition.

Some tips:

1)Try to go for all castings/auditions whenever your agent calls you to go.  If you always missed it or get lazy to go for them, they will not call you in the future.

2)You don’t pay for anything when you go for casting. Those who ask for payments are not the establish ones. Avoid them.

3)Agents usually take 10% out of your payment whenever u get jobs called by them.

4)After shooting, they should pay you max of 3 months not more than that.

So thats about it Call them now and start to make appointment. Good luck!
