Models Be Ready! 
Step  1 - Start a Modeling Career |
Unlike acting, you do not have to memorize
lines and speak in front of rolling cameras. You don't have to wait at auditions and perform in front of numerous people
you do not know. However, you must have an organized portfolio or comp card that includes professional photos. Your photos
must include several headshots and different poses in various fashions. A small runway show in your local mall may lead to
an audition with a glamour magazine. The key is to always look your best. Remember, models come in a variety of shapes and
sizes: tall models, short models, skinny and full-size models, both young and mature models. There are over 200,000 successful
models in the nation, and maybe you could be one of them! |
Step 2 - Create a Modeling Portfolio
All models must mail out a professional
portfolio package (comp card, headshot, ZED card) to casting directors and agencies. Models are required to go through various
photo shoots and create a modeling portfolio. Putting together a portfolio is an absolute MUST for every aspiring model! The
portfolio should include a number of photos and a resume. Comp Cards or ZED cards are popular types of modeling portfolios,
and usually contain 4-7 body poses. Some established photographers have reliable connections, which could lead to a modeling
job right away. Your resume must include your current contact information, your height, size, weight, measurements, previous
training and recent work. Professionals hire based on your modeling exposure and experience. The key to your success is to
select a well-established photographer who can capture your best features to help create a more exotic look.
 Search For Photographers In Your Area!
|
| Step 3 - Search for Modeling Auditions (Go-Sees) |
First, search for auditions in your area. If you live in a small town, your best opportunity is to audition
in a nearby city. Casting agencies hold go-sees and open casting calls for models periodically. Every major city has casting
agencies affiliated with the modeling industry.
Your success as a performer in the entertainment industry relies
on connections. We believe the best way to acquire connections is to audition in front of entertainment companies, casting
directors, producers, magazines, corporations, talent agencies and advertising agencies.
It
is your responsibility as an actor or model to mail out your portfolios to agencies, casting directors, and production companies.
This process can be quite costly and time-consuming. Most of the time, headshots will end up in a large file with thousands
of other pictures, or simply will be trashed.
If you are patient and consistent, you will receive a few auditions. |
| Step 4 - Search for Modeling Agencies & Managers |
You need to select an agent or manager--whichever is right for you. You can do so by simply sending out your picture
and resume to all the agents/managers in your area. They will call you back if they are impressed with your picture and interested
in representing you. Every major city has well-established talent agencies and management firms. Contact a few different agencies/managers
and find out what they require. The key to success is retaining an agent/manager who is well-established and experienced!
Ask for references and credentials before signing any contracts. We advise you to work under a non-exclusive 1-2 year contract
in order to make certain your agent/manager performs professionally.
|
| Step 5 - Search for Modeling Schools |
Modeling might
seem easy. Although your physical appearance is the first characteristic casting agents consider, models with training and
experience are the most sought after. Taking modeling classes from a professional school will train you to improve your existing
skills. It will also help you learn guidelines for your auditions. Having a professional portfolio and acquiring basic knowledge
are important if you are considering modeling as a full-time career.
