There are some questions you can anticipate: What are your favorite roles or assignments; your goals as an actor or model; special training you've received (eg. stage combat, dancing, juggling), and the old "why do you want to be an actor?" Answer these questions not with two or three words but conversationally... anecdotally. Make your story interesting. And of course have several copies of your headshot/ resume or comp card. Be prepared to deliver a couple of contrasting monologues just in case.
   Dress attractively yet still look businesslike. Most important, relax and be yourself!   
   A word about getting good photography before you approach an agent. Make sure your photographer shoots fashion photography, make sure you see his portfolio on line, and make certain you like the work. Meet him prior to scheduling a shoot. Does he take an interest in your wardrobe, the looks which are most marketable for you, the choice of locations? If any of the answers to these questions is "no" keep looking. A comp card should include a headshot and three contrasting looks. Your photographer should budget half day to do you justice.
   Sometimes you hear about some unknown, traveling "model scout" —usually on top 40 radio— who invite you to a Holiday Inn with the promise of being "discovered". They'll set up at the hotel with a minimum wage "photographer" with a background and two lights and (for a fee of course) shoot your comp card in about 45 minutes. Don't waste your time or money! Stick with people located in the city where you live that
