The New York City skyline is one of the most iconic skylines in the world. This has always been curious to me because, compared to cities in the Middle East with their tall towers, or Europe with their gorgeous backdrops, NYC has always felt a little less than impressive — BLASPHEMY— I know. But I think what makes New York stand out is that it hasn’t really changed.
So you finally booked a photoshoot. Hurray! Congratulations! Whether you are doing a dance shoot or simply getting some new headshots, photoshoots can be intimidating. There is always a *tiny* fear that maybe these images won’t turn out the way you or your agent would like. Additionally, everyone seems to have advice on the topic: “Just be yourself,” “Definitely, get your makeup done professionally,” “Don’t get your makeup done professionally, that’s not how you look all of the time!” It’s honestly, overwhelming.
A few years ago I really thought it was happening. I’d lived in NYC for about three years and I had been hustling. The last few audition seasons I’d promoted myself as a dancer who sings; this season I decided to lead with my voice. So far, it was going well. My resume showed I was a dancer, so when I walked into an EPA or Singers ECC I was able to surprise them with my voice (which, by the way, is problematic that this stereotype persists).
