Alycia Kaback: VIP Talent Connect Networking Summits are a Learning Experience

Monday, October 3rd, 2011

VIP Talent Connect SummitThe VIP Talent who attend the Summits work very hard to prepare for that special day.  From the day they are scouted to the day they walk in the door at Caroline’s on Broadway and beyond they are learning the ins and outs of the entertainment industry and what it takes to be successful.  The VIP Talent Connect Summit is more than Networking; the morning is filled with talks by the VIP Talent Connect Industry Experts and the Talent sit and listen and take notes.  They also have the special opportunity in this close knit environment to raise their hands, ask questions, engage the speakers and actually get up on stage at special times.  Every VIP Talent must prepare a personal bio to ease   their introduction to the VIP Industry Experts and give the experts something to remember them.  Every VIP Talent who is excepted to attend an event has an appointment with VP Talent Services Goldie Rocha to help prepare and to ensure the bio is written in a professional, yet memorable manner.   Here are some tips to writing a bio:

A well written bio creates a lasting first impression.  A child’s bio may be in outline form; please reference the sample bio.  An adult bio must be in paragraph form and in first person.  A bio should be as professional as a resume, with a little bit more personality and character.  Think as though you are describing a story to someone in paragraph form.  You need to include your most critical pieces of education and work with actual dates and names.  Use the following questionnaire to establish a good impression of your history and career goals:

Family history

Introduce yourself: include name and age.

Where were you born and raised?

What is your family and upbringing like?

Are there other entertainers in your family and how have they affected your interest in the industry?

What is your best overall quality?

Entertainment Career

How did you get into the entertainment industry? (Where were you? What were you doing? How old were you?)

Where and what have you studied? Where and what have you performed? Where and what have you taught?  (In reference to entertainment industry)

Include all experience with specific dates and names.  (Photoshoots, demo’s, shows, plays…)

Inspiration

Who inspires you in the entertainment industry?

How has your inspiration affected your interest and style?

What do you think is distinct about your style?

Goals

What are your goals in the entertainment industry? In Life?

What is your favorite memory in the entertainment industry?  How has it affected your aspirations/goals?

Quote involving the industry: If you had one thing to say about entertainment; for love, philosophy, or learning, what would it be?

Most of the talent who come to Alycia Kaback have never done anything in the industry before and that’s okay–  It’s hard to start out when you don’t have the right connections.  VIP Talent Connect gives you those connections and ensures that you have adequate knowledge to succeed when you do meet those special people who will be your link to success.
