1. Modelling is a business, and as a model, you are your own business! Like any business, it takes time, effort, commitment, and patience to become a successful model. Remember that success does not happen over night.
2. Present yourself as the perfect candidate:
Show confidence, have a good attitude and a friendly personality. Show your personal style, but keep it clean and simple and always make a good first impression.
3. Keep a healthy lifestyle:
Drink a lot of water, hold on to a healthy diet, work-out regularly, get sufficient sleep and avoid cigarettes and alcohol.
4. Look after your skin and your hair:
Use skin & hair care products, keep make-up at a minimum, take off your make-up (wash your face) every night and go for a regular trim/ hairdo.
5. Apply and attend as much castings (auditions) and go-sees as possible:
For models, a casting or a go-see is a job interview and should be regarded as such. Be prepared!
6. Model Agency Representation:
If you are looking for representation within a model agency, or if a model agency contacts you, please make sure the contract is reliable and includes the standard conditions of the industry. Keep an eye on the following points: percentage of commission, duration of contract, cancellation terms, exclusiveness, any hidden costs or fees (basically read the small print!)
If you have any doubts please contact us. Don't sign a contract if you do not feel 100% sure!
