This article is designed for both men and women.
It is dedicated to beauty and physical appearance, both of which have everything to do with your acting career.
The intention here is to shed light on the interplay between these two things - your career and the face with which you grace the industry.
Let's begin, shall we? For non-business majors, or those of you who know a thing or two about business but have never made this connection, let's consider the following.
Within the principles with which someone conducts a business exists the concept of face value.
For our purposes here, let it suffice to say that "face value" has to do with the essence of a thing, the very dharma of what your business is.
Your businesses face value is determined at the start of a business day before any single transaction.
If your business is a lemonade stand, then your table, your pitcher, your drink, and your bucket of ice are all contributing factors to your businesses face value.
Before you have poured one glass, hailed down your neighbor, negotiated a better price for an entire group of people, or expended your supply of sugar, the value of these factors can be estimated and totaled at the beginning of the day.
The business is valued by its' stand-alone relevance and counterparts, separately from earning tactics you may go on to employ.
What that means is, its' worth and face - what it appears to be - has its' own calibration (negotiating, bartering, and bargaining skills aside).
So what, you might ask does this have to do with your face and your acting career? It's simple.
Considering that, what the very essence of a thing is "worth" has to do with its' face, you can embed your actions with this idea in mind.
Is there a dominant culture or are there dominating ideas in your particular niche? You can advance your career triple-fold, instead of burrowing through the industry blindly or closing yourself off to the implications of your face.
Assessing a dominant culture doesn't mean being dominated by that same culture.
Everyone is entitled to their own face.
Again, assess the dominant set of ideas in your particular niche, but maintain your entitlement to your career with your own face.
Simple.
The more carefully you have mulled over your entitlement to the face with which you were born, and the more bravely you've assessed any overhanging, dominant ideas, the better.
The more you develop this described mind-state and way of being, the less of a necessity there is for wavering on the strength of the value that is given to your face.
Then, the less of a necessity there will be for things like hair extensions, becoming a bottle blonde, or pec-implants for men! Those things are there if you want them, but not because you need them, which puts you in a class with Ms.
Joile herself.
If you do decide to respond to the industry with physical tweaks, there is some great advice for going that route.
In a book called, "The Beauty Formula", the author literally goes into detail about what is called "classical beauty", and what made up the faces of the "talent" we've seen over the years.
Or, try getting direct advice about your aspirations in the industry and achieving your specific goals.
