Caribou Coffee Dream Date Series 💝

We can't believe this series has come to a close! It's been an absolutely incredible journey, from hosting open castings, booking all of the contestants, and seeing our amazing Carl take over the role of "Bou-rista," to watching all of the RMT contestants take a shot at love alongside the hilarious Hannah Berner for Caribou Coffee’s “Dream Date.”

We hope you all enjoyed the fun-filled episodes this summer. We can't wait to see what adventures are next for our caffeinated lovebirds! 🥰

This week's Spring Cleaning tip is all about refreshing your online presence! It can be difficult to keep up with updating your online profiles during the hustle of a new year, but maintaining your online activity can be the boost that sets you apart from other artists.

Consider if creating a website is the right move for your personal brand, reach out to your agents and career connections in your field, and post engaging content that updates your friends and followers on all your passions. Be sure to be respectful and professional both online and offline, and celebrate all the amazing things you have accomplished so far this Spring.

No April Fools' pranks over here... Only another round of Talent Tips to freshen up your career this Spring! This week is dedicated to upgrading your self-tape game. Now more than ever, self tapes are a key aspect of auditions. Having a solid virtual audition can be the key to getting in the room for callbacks and bookings! Do a mental checklist before submitting your self-tape:

1. Make sure your background is clean and solid.
2. You are well-lit and your voice is loud and clear.
3. Dress as you would if you were going into the audition room! Make sure you are well-groomed, use powder to prevent on-screen shine, and choose an outfit that brings out your vibrant personality!
4. Have your lines printed out, well-rehearsed, and follow slating instructions to a T.

Most importantly, 5. MAKE BOLD CHOICES! Producers and Casting Directors will remember those who showcase their unique personalities and are unafraid to make strong choices. Which tip are you going to utilize this week? Let us know in the comments below 💛💐

Welcome to the spring cleaning guide brought to you by Ruggiero Models and Talent – tailored specifically for the working actor ready to dominate the industry!

This week is centered on cleaning out those areas that may need some TLC... your Desktop and Downloads folders! 💻 It can be easy to let resume copies, current selfies, and self-tapes clutter up your computer. Take some time this week to create a "Spring 2024" folder with your most updated materials, and sort through the files you don't need anymore. We highly recommend taking Before & After photos and celebrate your newly organized files!🤩

Stay tuned for our next round of Spring Cleaning Tips 💐
