Interview with Toni Belafonte, Professional Film & TV Actress

Toni has been doing amazing things since I shot her headshots back in 2012. She was actually one of my first clients when I was just getting started as a headshot photographer! Anyway, I love this interview because we talk at length about a number of great strategies she used to help her book over 36 commercials for numerous well-known companies! 

​Key Takeaways:

  • Learn what energy frequency you might be emitting and how to get yourself on the most positive vibration.
  • Keeping in touch and having a specific followup strategy for casting directors is important, but if you don't enjoy networking, learn how to "wow" casting directors so they want to follow up with YOU instead of you having to follow up with THEM.
