On this episode of #PitchChris, Why is it so important for an actor or actress to build

his or her fanbase, Should you have different headshots for different roles and At what

point in your career should you bring on a talent manager?

Hi and Welcome to episode 20 of #PitchChris where you guys ask me questions about the

entertainment business and I'm going to answer them for you.

To ask me a question, find me on social media @ChrisDeBlasio #PitchChris and I'll be happy

to answer all the questions you guys have.

This first question comes from Keith.

Let's see what Keith has got to say.

Hey Chris, Keith Kraft here.

We're on set here with my production that's going to be Blues

of Christmas, The Merry Blues of Christmas.

But anyways I love your show so my question for you is as an actor I know there is publicist

out there that help us promote our image once we have one but my question is how do you

really get that image.

I know when talking to a lot of acting instructors they're like well you got to brand yourself

first and then you know really work that image and then you can move on, kind of expand from

those roles.

So if there are companies out there that are really great for developing an image for actors

and stuff like that that's what I'd really like to know.

You know, where do we reach out to them and stuff like that and if they have certain people

they like to work with and you know the type of cost and stuff like that involved.

So that's my question to you and look forward to working with you and I'll talk to you real soon.

Thanks so much.

Hey Keith, personal branding is huge for an actor, let me tell you the reason why.

Because producers like myself are going to be looking for actors that have a huge following.

A lot of films, most films actually are funded by A-list Talent.

Well, that A-list Talent has a following and the reason why producers love putting A-list

talent in their movies is because it puts butts in seats.

We know that because of that following, we know people are going to go see that movie

so as a working actor, developing your image and putting your brand out there is going

to be very important because you're increasing your value the more followers that you have

so yes there are companies that out there you can grab yourself a publicist.

Publicists help a lot with your image.

Our company Agency 850, we do a lot of branding for a corporate CEO's but we also do branding

for people in the entertainment business so give us a shout if you're looking for some

representation on branding yourself but that's very important as an actor because you want

to be able to have that image out there and increase your value.

Hi Chris.

my name is Pakob Jarernpone.

I'm an actor from Ohio and my question is as far as headshots are concerned do you think

it's necessary to have more than one headshot for different looks because I noticed that

when I shave my beard and facial hair, it does age me down quite a bit and it changes

my appearance completely.

Do you think its necessary to have more than one as an industry standard or is one enough?

Having multiple headshots, I think is really good because what that is doing is putting

you in a different light.

Like as you mentioned, you shave and you're a totally different person.

The casting director actually sees that right so also having different headshots for different

specific very hyper-specific roles like something in the military maybe you're wearing a green

shirt throw on some dog tags, grow a little scruff right that's going to make you look

a little bit different as opposed to you know so you're going out for a role as a doctor.

Maybe you're wearing a lab coat or a white dress shirt with a stethoscope or something

like that, a clean shave right that's going to actually paint the picture for a casting director.

So yeah, I would say having separate headshots for different roles and submitting those very

specifically could up your chances on landing that role.

So having multiple headshots will definitely give you a little boost.

As an actor, how important is having a manager?

Also as an actor, what are some of the steps that can be taken to get the attention of

producers and casting directors.

Hey Troy, thanks for your question.

So having a talent manager, if you don't have any credits and you don't have anything.

I wouldn't start there.

I would start with building your resume on your own first.

Doing self-submissions, booking some jobs, getting training because managers really they're

going to be very helpful once you're busy and you have a lot of things going on and

they're managing your schedule.

They're connecting you with certain people in the business but once you're at that point

where you've got a couple of credits on your resume maybe start looking for a manager and

to answer the second part of your question, a lot of times managers can make those introductions

to producers and to casting directors and some of their contacts too so they could be

beneficial but the biggest thing is you know you want to build your credits on your own

just starting out and network, network, network.

You want to go to these industry events, you want to go a lot of these casting directors

they'll do seminars go to those seminars.

Film Festivals, a lot of Film Festivals will have panel discussions with executive producers

or casting directors.

Stick around see if you can chat it up with them after the event and build those relationships

but you start doing those things on your own.

Start building a resume, once you get to a certain point get a manager to take you to

that next level.

So that's all for today's episode, great questions.

To ask me a question find me on social media @ChrisDeBlasio #PitchChris and I'll be happy

to answer all the questions you guys have.

Placer County Health and Human Services: Building a healthier community together - Duration: 7:06.

(calm music)

- [Jeff] When we talk about health,

it's much more than broken bones

and trips to the doctor.

So many things play a role in every

persons health and wellbeing.

From the water you drink and the air you breathe,

to the people in your support network

and the neighborhoods where you live, work, and play,

in Placer County we're lucky to live

in one of the healthiest communities in California.

Yet there's still a lot of work to be done

so that every single member of our community

has the opportunity to flourish.

At Placer County Health and Human Services,

we're working together with our community

every day to build a healthier future.

Our divisions deliver and champion

cutting edge services that aim

to help our residents become self-sufficient

and have a great quality of life.

Here's a quick look at some of their work.

- Our human services division runs

public assistance programs for families in need

to help with food, healthcare, and employment.

We work with them to build a solid foundation

with these basics so they can realize

their full potential and become contributing

members of the community.

Did you know for every five dollars

spent on Calfresh Food Assistance,

nine dollars in local economic activity is generated?

Not only do these programs help families

get on the right track,

but they also boost our local economy and businesses.

Human services also runs our county's housing authority

which is responsible for a variety

of programs to help offset housing costs

so Placer County residents with low incomes

and has recently added the Veterans Services Office,

providing support to our county's service men and women.

- I found the support from the Calfresh program.

It said our lives would be better.

Now I have more chance to buy food,

more opportunity for us to have a better

and healthy food for my kids

and it's make our family health will be better.

- Our children's system of care division

focuses on the health and wellbeing

of Placer County's children and their families.

Our child welfare team works 24/7

to help children who are at risk

or abuse or neglect live safe and healthy lives.

We support families to try to keep

children at home and healthy,

but when a child must be removed

for his or her safety,

we help place them with loving

foster or adoptive parents.

For those children who cannot return to their parents,

we also try to find permanent, forever homes

with families who want to adopt.

Our division also helps children in youth

with mental health, substance use,

or other challenges so that they can grow

into healthy and happy adults.

- They have been a total blessing for my family.

They helped me with parenting classes,

encouraging me to change my way of thinking,

of how to deal with trauma children.

- Our adult system of care primarily

assists adults with mental illness

and substance use needs to get on

and stay on the path of recovery.

That includes connecting clients with

whatever levels of services fit their needs,

from outpatient counseling programs

to more intensive, inpatient residential treatment programs

and even just a safe place to connect.

We also run programs for people

experiencing homelessness,

offering services and creating supportive housing.

Our growing senior population and disabled individuals

can receive varying levels of support,

such as our in home supportive services program,

where we hire caring staff to support

people in their homes with daily tasks.

Finally, we offer specialized services,

day and night, to those in crisis

and the most vulnerable in our community.

- There's people there that care and stuff

instead of actually, you know,

like hi, or take a number.

They're genuinely concerned about, you know,

that's what it's all about

and that's what helped me the most.

- Our public health divisions primary function

is to promote health and protect our community

against disease and injury.

That includes working with hospitals

and healthcare systems to monitor for diseases.

Everything from rabies to whooping cough outbreaks,

but also preventative efforts,

such as promoting good dental hygiene,

vaccinations, and healthy nutrition.

We also prepare for emergencies and disasters

that could come our way.

Anything from fires to floods,

plus it's this division that heads up

our whole person care program,

an innovative new effort targeting

homeless individuals with significant challenges,

including health problems.

- Working in public health really let me

follow my passion.

Looking at individuals, families, communities

in a holistic way.

- Lose your dog or just looking to adopt a new one?

Animal services have you covered.

Our animal control officers are on call 24/7

to pick up strays and deal with noise complaints

and other disturbances.

We adopt out hundreds of pets a year

from our new facility in Auburn,

including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds,

and a few more unusual species.

- When you find an animal

and you can reunite it with its owner

and then you find out that it's been lost for two months

and that you're able to provide that reunification,

that safe reunification, that's awesome.

- The environmental health division

works behind the scenes on many things

people may take for granted.

Making sure your drinking water is clean

or that the food from our local restaurants is safe

or when you go get that new tattoo,

you end up with a work of art

and not a painful infection.

Our staff help clean up during hazmat incidents

and also help ensure that new building

projects are safe from hazards like soil contamination.

- I live here and I drink the water here

and I eat the food here and so do my kids,

so we're regulating what, this is our home.

We don't like to come in and wag our finger

and tell people you can't do this, you can't do that.

We try to educate and tell them

maybe you can do this, have you thought about doing this,

maybe we can work around this,

and in other ways so that they can succeed

and make money and have a thriving business,

but also not make people sick.

- And finally, our administrative division

is the financial backbone that helps

keep the rest of the department running smoothly.

We handle money coming in and out of the department.

From the usual stuff like payroll,

to oversight of funding allocations and grants.

We also manage contracts with nonprofit organizations

who provide services to the community.

- I feel like we are the assistance

to superheros basically.

- The more than 800 staff members who

make up Health and Human Services

work together to tackle tough issues

facing our community

and come up with real, attainable solutions.

We hope you'll join us as we strive

toward a healthier community.
