Even though when most of us think of show business Los Angeles and New York are the cities that come to mind, that does not mean that the world of entertainment does not exist in other places. Not only because actual filming, production and editing efforts can happen outside of L.A. and N.Y.C., but because many agencies and talent schools exist in other locations. Seattle modeling agencies are not unheard of and, surely, Seattle models are the better for it.

Perhaps you or someone in your family has the showbiz bug in them and you want to make sure they are fully prepared for the career path ahead of them. Classes or courses in their chosen discipline; be it acting, singing and dancing, or modeling is a must. In acting classes the participants learn to use their greatest tool, themselves, to capture emotion and deliver it to an audience. Modeling classes are about posing, working a run way, being in front of a camera and portraying a feeling or attitude. An able instructor will enhance the student’s assets and help them improve their weaknesses.

That is why choosing to attend acting or modeling school is an excellent investment in your career. Since you will not only be investing your time, but also your money, you will want to do the necessary due diligence to ensure you get an optimal return on investment. Start by contacting the school you want to attend and speaking with administrators and instructors. If it is allowed, sit in on one of their classes and see what you think of the experience. It would not hurt to interview current and former students to round out your information gathering. Trade publications on acting and modeling schools and the BBB are great resources of information as well.

Reputable talent agencies sometimes have a list of schools they recommend and can assist you in finding a good one. Be sure to collect as many impressions, recommendations and objective feedback as possible. You do not want to regret the choice you have made, especially if afterwards you would not be able to get a refund, and most of all you would not get back the time you wasted. Other qualifications to look for in a good school are price and graduates’ employment rate. If you will require assistance in order to pay for the school you will want to know if they offer financial aid or allow you to pay in several installments. In case you need to pay a loan after attending the school you’ll want to be aware of your probability of employment once you are done. Both factors can make a world of difference about how happy you are with the education you receive and the benefits it awards you.

Sadly, the world of show business is one that lends itself to scams and con artists, so please take everything you here with a grain of salt. Remember that there are varying degrees of success in the world of acting and modeling. Success does not always mean becoming an A-lister.
