MODELING 101

MODEL 101:

Hello Everyone!,

I wanted to answer a few questions that I seem to get often from those who are beginning their journeys in the modeling world. Those questions mainly surround casting calls do’s and don’t’s. For example, What do I wear when I go to a casting call? What am I suppose to bring? What should my hair look like etc...
So I wanted to give a basic lesson that I’ve learned along the way. Keep in mind it is very important to also cater to the producer/designer’s wishes as well. Below are going to be the basic tips on how to attend your most common casting calls.

Clothing:

Your clothing should be basic: · Nice Fitted Jeans or slacks · Fitted T-shirt or V-Neck · Button ups and blazers are okay but make sure they are not too overwhelming in size. · Colors shouldn’t be to shocking or bright.

Appearance: · You should be nicely groomed · If hair is long, it should be off the face or it shouldn’t distract from your features · Nails clean · Over all hygiene should be up to par

What you should bring to the casting call:

Of course this depends on what the casting call director requires but the basic items should be

1.) Model Resume and or Business cards if applicable 2.) Head shot and Body shot

I hope this helps! Keep in mind each casting is or could be different so make sure to pay attention to the details that you are provided. Most of the time READING CAREFULLY is your most useful tip. Designers usually tell you exactly what they want, how they want it, and who they are looking for. At the end of the day, as a model, it is your job to assimilate and be that chameleon they are looking for.

Thanks for Reading!,
