Get professional photos taken. Headshots are as beneficial for strippers as they are for actors. Full-body shots are also necessary for this business. Agencies will use these to advertise you. They must not look cheap. Let a professional take them. Don’t use lots of makeup or gimmicks. Smile and focus on the camera, so your eyes look lively. You should not bring your costume. In stripping, you will wear a lot of costumes, so using one now is limiting. Get both black and white and colour photos. Then have the company duplicate them. Contact revue shows for opportunities. Search out establishments that offer male stage performances. Tell the show organiser that you’re interested in joining them. They can guide you in the right direction. Many times they’ll let you into shows for free and let you watch. Sometimes they’ll give you an audition. Topless waiters work important jobs in many shows. Most likely, you will start as a waiter until you learn how to perform. Show up for bookings. In the beginning, work will be hard to find. You will have to perform as a topless waiter or pick up work on short notice. But, if you want to get in the business, you need to show up to these events. Don’t cancel at the last minute. A company that trusts you will give you more work. Losing that trust can be the difference between success or falling out of the industry.
