I have no experience with StarNow. But it looks alright to me aside from some spelling errors and inconsistencies in capitalisation/italicisation. Oh and in the bio at the top you've said that you have a bubbly character twice.

Oops! Thanks, I will go edit that and the errors are mainly due to being typed on a touchscreen x

You have a great face and I would imagine that modelling could be a good route for you to follow as you are so tall and slim. This can also be a way in to commercials and can then also lead to agency representation for acting. You might want to approach one of the big modelling agencies? If you want to get acting work then you definitely need a photo that shows your eyes where you are looking down the camera lens. Have a look at Casting Call Pro. Every time you refresh a page you will get new profiles to look at. Have a look at the photos that grab you.

I would say that the main thing to change on your profile is your principal headshot. The photo is lovely, but it's not right for an acting headshot - we need to see your eyes :)

You can go to Storm models, for example without an appointment: http://www.stormmodels.com/become-model ... me-a-model

It's possible that they won't accept models of your age - but I am sure that they would be happy to advise you.

Thanks pg :)
I don't have a photo looking directly at the camera because I originally went down the modelling route which lead to getting these photos done. If anyone knows a cheap photographer in London please say. Thx x

I agree with PG - just need to change the headshot, so essential that your eyes can be seen. If money is tight then you could look out for TFP shoots - (Time For Prints or CD) many photographers do these to update their porfolio/webpage and we have had several sets of free headshots this way. I will look through my email tomorrow and message you the ones we used, but there are lots out htere - not sure how old you are but do be sure to take someone with you, especially if you are under 18 :)

I'm 13 and who would I contact about the free headshots?

OK, then I am sure you know that, at 13 you need an adult to sort a session out for you and accompany you - I don't mean to sound patronising, but one of my dd's is your age and she thinks she can do everything herself lol :) I know a couple of really nice photographers who occasionally do TFP, but this is London area - not sure where you are based? I will have a look for their contacts tomorrow x

Don't worry my mum always sorts those things out because she works so it has to fit around her :) I am also London based x

Great photos for modelling but I would also echo what everyone else has said and say that it would really benefit you to get photos taken of you looking down the camera lens if you want to go down the acting route.

Also, are your photos photos of photos, if you see what I mean? :lol: The quality seems a bit off, do you have a friend/library you could go to to use a scanner to get sharper quality?
