Training and Development

Many young girls or boys that want to be models or actors don’t know how the industry works, and don’t understand what training is for (or whether it’s really required). StarHorizon Taelnt Academy can safely guide new starters into the world of modelling and acting, with confidence and a real skill-set.

Talents embody moods, characters and so much more. They can be someone strong and powerful one day, or confident and sexy the next day. Some photo shoots require vulnerability; other shoots require ‘the girl next door’.

An important skill in modelling/acting is learning to adapt to instructions, and how to fulfil various director requirement. Modelling/Acting is also about learning how to express rich emotions, and how to best connect to the audience.

The requirements of modelling/acting can be much more than expected. Often, the skills needed won’t come naturally to most, and require direction, training and effort.

Models/Actors are required to connect to their emotions, and convey in physical poses. Therefore, the mind body connection must be strong. Often, it can take time for models/actors to truly get in touch with themselves and so patience and persistence are key to success.

Do You Want to Be a Model or Actor?

If you are considering becoming a model/actor, but feel challenged by not knowing where to begin, or who to talk to, why not engage the support of StarHorizon Talent Academy– we can support you from the very start and all the way up until successful commercial placement.

Parts of the struggles of being a novice model/actor are the numerous challenges to face regarding self expression. In order to become the very best model/actor that you can be, it is crucial to find out how to create the strongest presentation and images that directors and photographers are seeking.

Regardless of if you are a freelancing model/actors signed with an agency, or doing it independent of representation, the overall induction and hire process is always the same. In general, a model/actor will always require (at minimum): Training, Guidance, and Test shoot experience. After these experiences, then you will be ready for work.

If we look back to relatively recent and even older modelling/acting histories around the world, each and every successful model/actor can attest to having received some sort of formal training and support of some kind, yet many new models/actors believe that by simply showing up and dressing the part, they are a model/actor. The truth is, it’s not so simple!

To put things into context, imagine needing an lawyer to represent your business, so you go ahead and hire someone dressed the part. Only, you later learn that the hired individual actually has no real training (or experience) – it just would not work.

Therefore, as with any professional career choice, training, teaching and clear understanding, are absolutely vital components for commercial success in modelling/acting.
