Becoming a model can be easy, or it can be difficult, depending on how you approach it and the people with whom you associate.
- Get an Honest Evaluation by Several Respected Professionals
- Get As Much Exposure As Possible:
There are several ways you can get exposure to the agents and scouts:
Email your photos to the agencies - This can be fast, but often not effective. Almost all of the top agencies that post an email address on their website post a generic email that is rarely, if ever, checked. Agencies are so inundated with emails there is no way they can look through each and every one. Most agents have private email addresses that they only share with other professionals. Unless your photos are emailed directly to an agency by a reputable agent it is unlikely that your photos will be seen.
Send your photos out by mail to hundreds of agencies - This can be a very costly and time consuming method. If you add up the cost of printing several hundred photos with the cost of envelopes and postage, it can easily add up to hundreds of dollars. Not the best option.
Attend a modeling convention - Modeling conventions can be a lot of fun and a great way for new models to get exposure and to learn about the industry. However, conventions can be extremely expensive, usually costing over $5000.00 to attend, and are well out of reach for the majority of aspiring models.
Submit your photos to the agencies through ModelScouts - We like this idea best. :) ModelScouts has direct connections to all the top modeling agencies in the world. At ModelScouts we provide you with the exposure you need to agents and scouts representing over 150 of the world's most powerful agencies. Including agencies that specialize in high fashion, runway, commercial print and television, plus-size, petite, showroom and fit modeling for male, female and child models. ModelScouts is affordable, safe, secure and confidential. We welcome all ages, all heights and all sizes.
- Don't Spend Money on Expensive Photoshoots
- Modeling Schools Are Not Necessary: we do recommend that aspiring fashion and commercial models enroll in acting workshops if possible. Learning proper auditioning skills and how to work on set, with cameras, etc. will give you an edge over your competition.
You do not need to go to modeling school to become a model. To become a fashion model you either have the look the agencies are looking for or you don't, modeling classes will not make a difference.
- Only Work With Legitimate Modeling Agencies
Sign up on BeScouted and get into one of those TFP castings to build a little portfolio and have some photoshoot experience. Models get scouted on the platform by agencies, and you would save money on buying a photoshoot and time on sendign those thousands of emails. Even then you can add a link to your online profile instead uploading photos each time.
thank you!!
