Commercial Actor
A commercial actor is a professional who specializes in commercial ad spots. These spots can be in radio or television. To be a commercial actor you need to have the right look and the ability to emote feelings with your face, eyes and body, as well as a great voice. To book commercials you need a great portfolio and a professional looking business card.
Headshot Business Cards
Since commercial actors need to sell their look in order to get a gig, adding your headshot to your business card is a good idea. Make sure you select a headshot that is flattering and that looks like it was professional done. On the front of your business card you will want to include your name, your manager's name and contact information and a quick bulleted list of commercial work you want to do.
Bodyshot Business Cards
Another option that you have is to use one of your best bodyshots as the background for your business card. This will show the booking agent what you have to offer and it will help keep you fresh in their mind. On the back of your business card add your statistics such as height, weight, eye color, clothing size, etc. This is just a summary of what is in your resume so don't overwhelm the reader with details.
Character Sample
If you have already done a commercial then you can use a still from that commercial as the background graphic for your business card. Since the goal of your business card is to drum up new work, you will want to promote your acting ability with your card. One way to do this is to print a short list of commercials you have been in before.
Voice-Over Business Cards
If your specialty is voice-overs for radio commercials or television commercials, then you will want to design a business card that focuses on sound. You can use a graphic of a mouth, of a microphone or of yourself. On the front of your business card you will want to print your name and that you are a voice over artist. This will help inform booking agents of your specialty. This will give you a better chance of landing a voice over position. On the back of your business card you will want to list the voice over work that you have done.
