Toni Belafonte, Model and Actress, Self Employed

>> Hi, my name is Toni Bellafonte. I'm a model/actress/CEO, and fitness coach, basketball coach, those are kind of like what I do to give back, well the basketball coaching. A typical day on set would probably require me waking up at 5:30, 6 o'clock, which I don't like to do, but getting up really early making sure you were well rested for bed last night, lots of water and all that good stuff so your skin can glow. You report to the set with a call time and it usually is anywhere between 8 and 12 depending on like what you're doing and how long they need you on set. You report to set, you show up, everybody is busy, nobody cares that you're there because the first time I went on a commercial set I literally walked in and it was like I'm here and everyone was kind of like busy running around like just doing everything. So you can't take anything in this business personal. So you show up and you find the first AD or usually the first assistant director finds you, they introduce themselves and they'll tell you where to, where you're holding area is. They'll say you have to report to hair and makeup in 20 minutes, you can now grab yourself something to eat from Craft Services. I love Craft Services by the way. It's usually a table filled with like goodies of chocolates and cookies and crackers and all these good stuff. You get hair and makeup and usually, actually usually you do wardrobe first and then you do hair and makeup and from there your call to set is usually within 4, pretty much as soon as you're coming out of the chair from hair and makeup you usually have to go to set. They'll write [phonetic] you, tell you the directors or whatever it is that they need from you. Generally whatever you did in the audition is exactly what you're doing for the shoot, which is why auditioning is so important because they want to know that they can literally just pick you up and plug you into the set and you can be perfect versus having to work with you to get there.
