IMTA Countdown - Week One!
The IMTA Countdown has officially begun! Today and every Friday for the next five weeks counting down to the Convention, That IMTA Blog will feature hints and tips and feature stars who got their start with IMTA to help you make the most of your IMTA Convention experience! We are excited for you to join us in counting down for the Event of a Lifetime together!

Model Tip of the Week
Makeup artists are always emphasizing the importance of "a perfect canvas" for makeup. Do you have a good skin care routine? Find out what products work best for you and use them regularly. The modeling agents at IMTA will want your skin to look beautiful and for you to wear very little makeup.

Talent Tip of the Week
Headshots are a black and white or full color shot of your face or ¾ length vertical shot that should look like you. Casting Directors use headshots to choose talent who have the potential to work in their projects. For that reason, it is very important that your headshots look exactly like you -- not glamorized, airbrushed, etc. Therefore, your headshots for the IMTA Theatrical Headshots Competition should be natural and styling should be simple.
