Starting Modelling Work

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

If you want to be sure of regular modelling work, you will sooner or later join a modelling agency. Modelling agencies have access to most of the lucrative work opportunities, but it can take time and a lot of perseverance before you land a contract with one of them. Besides, approaching agencies will require you to have some kind of portfolio of images of yourself. If you are starting out, you may not have many professional examples of your modelling work.

Another good way to get into modelling is to find out where and when the big agencies are holding casting calls. Don’t be put off by the large numbers of hopefuls that turn up to these calls: if you have the looks and the patience, you can reasonably expect to make a mark, even amongst hundreds of others.

Modelling agencies generally advertise their casting calls in the trade magazines and the local press, but it can be hard work trying to keep up with all that’s available. If you spend all your time trying to find out what opportunities there may be, you will leave little time to turn up to the casting calls and make an impression.

This is where Audition Now can help. We keep you updated on the very latest modelling work, texting you direct to your mobile phone. This means that you are not only kept fully informed of modelling opportunities appropriate for you, but also that you have the time to maximise your exposure.

Modelling Work Offers Many Opportunities

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

If you think you have the looks, the perseverance, and the luck, then you may find yourself successful in getting modelling work.

What is most sought after in a model is a look that is attractive and distinctive at the same time. For fashion models there is a minimum height requirement of 5ft 9ins, but if you are not that tall, it does not mean that you can’t do other modelling work. You are unlikely, however, to get yourself on the catwalk. It can also be a help if you are able to style your looks in a variety of ways; hair, make-up and jewellery can all play their part in giving you this diversity in appearance.

Carpet-bombing the major modelling agencies with a portfolio of your existing photos is one way to get your looks noticed. If this is your chosen method, then you should be prepared to stick at it for a while. However, it may do you more good to look out for casting calls. Many prefer the chance to show their looks live than sending in pictures. Don’t be put off by the numbers involved in such public model casting calls – you must be willing to keep trying.

Here at Audition Now we can help you a lot with your ambitions to be a model. We keep you informed of all the latest model casting calls, texting you updates direct to your mobile phone. So with your looks and perseverance and our support, you may well get lucky!

Tips For Success In Modelling Work

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

Getting work as a model requires patience and perseverance, but if you feel you have the looks then the time and effort you put into finding the work will undoubtedly pay off.

Most work for models comes through agencies, so it is important to make yourself known to them. You may wish to forward your portfolio direct to them, or to turn up to one of their open model casting calls. These auditions may be opened to members of the public, so you should not be surprised to find queues of hopefuls turning up to them. The competition is particularly fierce in London as the bulk of the work is in the capital, so if you are serious about a career in modelling, London is where you will eventually need to be aiming. Work opportunities exist in the regions, of course, and it may well be that to begin with, you will find it easier to get work outside of London.

When you start out, you need to be clear about the sort of modelling work you want to do. For example, glamour modelling is sometimes taken to be a euphemism for nude modelling, and so you need to be clear on what any modelling assignment involves. At some time or other in your work, the question is sure to come up.

Here at Audition Now, we can access all the latest modelling work opportunities, and keep you informed of them by text direct to your mobile phone.
