The modeling industry is filled with lies, fake news, and myths that make it so difficult for new models entering the industry to truly understand what this industry is like, how to get into it, what the expectations are, what facts to trust, which people to trust, etc. Our goal for this project is to educate and help crush these myths so that we can start spreading the truth about how this industry really works. CLICK HERE to watch all of our Model Myth Youtube Videos. Please also help us share these model myths so that we can help spread the truth about these topics!
HOW TO GET STARTED!
“How do I get started?” This is the most common question we are asked.
Depending on where you live- there is more than likely an agency or agencies in your area. The first thing to do is RESEARCH THE AGENCIES. Look for reviews on social media, google, check out the websites. Talk to their models, see what experiences they have had.
The most common request from agencies will be for you to send a headshot and possibly a full body shot. They may also ask your height, age, size, etc. It is important that you have images and know your stats.
Agency visits- Open calls are usually as far as you can get in the door unless you have a mother agent scheduling appointments for you. Having a mother agent is vital to move forward in this industry.
Fill yourself with knowledge about the industry. Doctors go to medical school and lawyers go to law school. Anything that is worth doing is worth doing well. Research current trends, read books written by and about people in the industry. Learn everything you can about the industry you want to enter.
Learn from people who have done this. Take advantage of their experience. Make sure if you are paying for training that it is with an agency/school that you have done your research on and also the people teaching are ones who have ACTUAL experience in this industry. These are subjects that can’t be taught out of books.
If you, or someone you know, is interested in being a model we would love to hear from you!
