market research *part 2* why applying the info to YOUR specific casting matters + getting union auditions in a right to work state.
**wait first, send me your questions! i'm out!** https://shorturl.at/dHVZp
we're getting into the part of market research that actually requires you to look in the mirror and assessing where *you* fit into your market and who's already working in it. it's less about gathering info and more about knowing what to do with it.
specifically:
- why your "type" might shift depending on what market you're in
- auditing your materials (headshots, reel, resume) against what's actually casting in your area
- how training and credits can be strategically mapped to your market
- why one of these whole step should be skipped if you're in a spiral
and yes, part two only makes sense if you've done part one!
