MODELING AUDITIONS

What are Modeling Auditions ?

Modeling Auditions are different from Acting Auditions. As a model it is all about your look. And by saying that, it is not necessary that you need to look good. There are many models that are far from looking good, but they do look interesting and can carry themselves in a very unique way.

How to start a Modeling Career ?

Start by a research on auditions in your local area. Most of major model casting is done in California, New York, and Europe. Every city has a few well established modeling agencies that are affiliated with major players in the industry. Not like acting, that one can promote himself and doesn't always need an agent, a model must have an agent, If you want to start a modeling career, then you need to start auditioning for a few different agencies and see what they say. The key to success here is to pick an agent that is well known and established! Ask for their references and credentials before signing any contracts.


Modeling Training

Modeling might seem like an easy profession, however it is not. It is true that like in any other profession some make it without any training, but if you are really into modeling, you need to learn a few basic things. Many models don't get the job because of lack of training and modeling experience. You can be the best looking individual for the spot, but someone else with more training and experience will take it. At least get some basic training from a specialized modeling school. The industry has many standards that you need to follow when you audition for major players. If you are considering modeling as full time career then you must invest into a portfolio and schooling. Great training cost good money, but be careful in your selections there are many scams.


Modeling Portfolio & Resume

Unlike headshots which an actor uses, a model must go through various photo-shoots and create a modeling portfolio. Putting together a processional modeling portfolio is a MUST! A portfolio should have variety of pictures, black / white and color, different poses, and a several different looks (swimwear,  business, casual, etc.) Your portfolio is probably your most important tool that will sell you in the entertainment Industry. Remember modeling casting directors and agents will only look through your portfolio once, so you have only one chance to capture their interest. You should spend anywhere between $800-$2000 depending on the photographer. The best photographers also have awesome connections so there's a chance to be referred to a great modeling agency. All your pictures must be presented in an organized order. A modeling resume is much simpler. Just have all your current contact information, your height, size, weight, and clothing measurements. Be sure to include all the training and work you were involved in.
