Do most models want to act?
I'm curious as to how many models want to act? Is acting the 'next step' or is modeling the pinnacle? I suppose that for some modeling is the final goal and for others it is a gateway into acting. What is it for you? May 28 06 02:02 pm Link I want to model, I wouldn't mind acting but modeling has my heart. May 28 06 02:09 pm Link I enjoy modeling, but I'm more interested in acting, performing. However, I don't think I'd ever try making a full career of either. May 28 06 02:12 pm Link Isnt modeling acting? May 28 06 02:23 pm Link I'm an actor who wants to model..didn't know that was possible did yah? May 28 06 02:24 pm Link No interest in acting. May 28 06 02:34 pm Link Go to L.A you'll see everyone there is an actor but they model to pay the bills  May 28 06 02:36 pm Link _Cinnamon_ wrote: Thats refreshing to here...!

Then again I sang long before I acted too. May 28 06 02:58 pm Link I was an actress for years before I got into modelling. I almost never do any anymore, because a photo session is so much less time consuming than theater, or even short film. My work schedule doesn't allow for much...

May 28 06 05:17 pm Link I wanted to act before I wanted to model. I'm not sure how good I am at either, but I have a heck of a lot of fun trying at both! I prefer theater, though, myself. There's nothing like being up on stage in front of a bunch of strangers, and trying to remember your lines with the bright lights shining down on you! I love it! May 28 06 05:23 pm Link I don't want to act either. May 28 06 06:13 pm Link i'm a horrid actress. The most I would do is maybe voice over work and short commercials. Nothing more May 28 06 06:21 pm Link what's the difference?  May 28 06 06:32 pm Link MODERATOR'S NOTE: May 28 06 06:46 pm Link I am a member of Equity (British Actors' Equity Association). I have done a few small roles in films and adverts, but my main activity is on stage, where I have done many hundreds of presentations of Japanese culture, either as part of a story or as a stand-alone demonstration. May 28 06 07:36 pm Link May 28 06 07:44 pm Link I enjoy both. I'd love to get into doing voice over work in particular. May 28 06 09:07 pm Link im an actor, but if you really want to be successfull as an actor, you need to be able to model. you have to understand that whole world. you have to know how to have your picture taken, how to photograph well. it's really hard, and most people don't take the time to really learn. to me this is just a means to an end... but in the end isn't everything. May 28 06 09:20 pm Link I don't. At least, I want to stick to doing stills (no film, tv or theater). But I don't think I qualify as "most models." May 28 06 09:23 pm Link Personally, for my type of work, I prefer models who can act. May 28 06 11:59 pm Link Actor! I'm working on my BFA at the California Institute of the Arts and modeled for a couple friends I met there...that's how I got free headshots :-) May 29 06 12:02 am Link I did not intend to sound as if I do not think that modeling isn't acting. It is. You have to portray a mood or emotion in a photograph and you can't do that without putting something out there. I was just curious to know what most models are interested in. May 29 06 04:00 pm Link I was actually pointed in the way of acting since I'm on the larger side of plus modeling. Size 18/20's get very little work if any, therefore I was suggested commercial modeling or acting. May 29 06 04:04 pm Link modeling is my main interest, i would love to act but prefer modeling. Show me a large chunk of money to act tho and im on it lol May 29 06 05:03 pm Link I'm also a vocalist & voice-over talent. Does that count? ;-) May 29 06 06:25 pm Link |
