Industry Do's and Do Not's: #3

• DO: Move to your dream apartment across town, take a family vacation, finally cash in on your spa day gift certificate. By all means, do what you gotta / wanna do! But --
• DO NOT: Forget to tell us your location, availability, and lack thereof! Even if you're out of town for 48 hours, yep, we need to know. Even if you move to the apartment next door, we need your current address! I know we sound like stalkers...we take that as a compliment!

• DO: Pay close attention to the format we/clients request for any particular audition / callback / booking material. (MP3 does not = MP4! JPEG does not = PDF!) Many times, the various platforms we use to upload / send your materials, or particular casting directors, only accept a certain format -- there's a method to the madness!
• DO NOT: Divide up your returned materials into multiple emails, sent in formats that will need to be converted, or forget to label / rename the items. We are receiving materials from many people at once at any given time; anything you can do to keep yours organized and in line with what we requested will save everyone additional hassle and time!

• DO: Introduce us to your talented & unrepresented industry colleagues that you think would be a good fit for SH to interview for rep! Send along an intro email to the team with their materials and your recommendation and we're happy to review.
• DO NOT: Hesitate! No negatives here. We highly value and trust our talent's recommendations!
