STILL HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS BEFORE ORDERING THE BOOK?

 

"But Aaron... It's too late for me to start acting or modeling. I'm too old, not tall enough, my body is not perfect."

Not at all. I just showed you how photographers, art/creative directors,  and casting directors NEED people of all ages. You might be in your mid 20’s (the teacher)…30’s (the mom) ... 40’s (the real estate agent) …50’s the established doctor/lawyer.. 60’s (the business owner) 70’s (the grandfather). I started acting and modeling at 29. It's never too late to get started.


"I can't afford to do this, doesn't it cost thousands of dollars to get started?"

I hear that a lot. By reading my book, you will learn how to get started for less than $100. On page 27 I even teach people how to get photos taken FREE. That's right.... it can cost you nothing.

"Aaron, If you're so knowledgeable about acting and modeling why aren't you doing it yourself?"

Actually, acting and modeling has been my full-time job since 1986. As of today, I have booked over 1,150 paying jobs.  On weekends, I travel throughout the U.S., Canada, Mexico and even Australia offering my Becoming a Successful Actor and Commercial Model workshop -teaching others what I do during the week.

"I live in a small town. Don't I have to live in New York or LA to do this?"

No way. That is just a myth. It is true that there are many more opportunities for actors and commercial models living in New York and LA, but there are also tons of extremely creative and talented industry professionals needing actors and models in small markets as well. Just because you choose not to live in NY or L.A. does not mean that there are not some great acting and modeling jobs available to you. Some of my best bookings were cast and shot in very small markets.

I devote an entire chapter in my book, teaching people how to find and get work in their local market, even if you don’t have an agent. You will be amazed at how many ways there are to find work with companies that hire actors and models, even in small cities.
