Teri Talks Talent
I chatted to Talent agent Teri Ritter about how actors at various stages in their careers can avoid certain pitfalls.
Subjects include deciding whether to become an actor, getting an agent, headshots and demo reels, self-tapes, building characters, and (of course) learning accents.
