Hello Lu,

You're an amazing woman! I have been modeling for 6 years now, but I am ready for a career change. I want to get into acting. I've been dong a lot of research and found that L.A. is the best place for acting. I live here in NY, but plan to visit L.A., possibly next summer. What should I do to stand out from all of the other aspiring actors and actresses? What agencies do you recommend?

Thanks! I am looking forward to your response!

Dear Aspiring Actress,

You want to stand out be able to act. Know your trade, acting is a job and not an easy one. Be a professional not just a pretty face. There are lots of agents in LA but my favorites are William Morris, CAA, ICM, Innovative Artist, Abrahams Artist and Stone Manners Agency. Be sure to get into a class when you get there, it will look good on your resume and will help you to connect with what is going on in L.A.

Break a Leg,
Lu
