Show You Mean Business with a Modelling Portfolio

Monday, November 7th, 2011

If you dream of becoming a model then there’s one thing you always need to pay attention to – your portfolio. A modelling portfolio showcases your work and lets potential agents and employers know what they can expect from you, being the primary weapon in your modelling arsenal that can transform your chance of getting those lucrative contracts. The importance of your portfolio means you need to spend time on it to make it the best it can be, really showing you mean business and impressing those soon-to-be agents.

This means you should always book a professional photography session if you’re new to the business and have yet to book any jobs. Cheap holiday snaps will never be good enough – you need the right lighting and the right setting to let your potential shine through, and always tailor your portfolio to the type of jobs you want to do. Make sure to have a great range of shots to show your versatility as a model, and once you’ve got a flawless set of photographs you stand a much better chance of securing that job.

Then all you need to do is find out when these modelling auditions are taking place, which is why you need to come to us. We can help you make good use of your portfolio by sending text alerts (up to three texts per week, £1.50 per text, over 18s only) to keep you abreast of all the latest model casting calls, ensuring you never miss out on that all-important audition.

Do You Have What it Takes to be a Glamour Model?

Thursday, July 28th, 2011

Glamour modelling can be an extremely lucrative career, which can attract a lot of people to try an achieve success in the field. However, it takes a certain type of personality to become a successful glamour model, which not everybody has. Before you commit yourself to becoming a glamour model, you should take some time to understand what is required in the role.

Many people assume that glamour modelling involves nudity, but this is not always the case. The field is more about using photography to make women look glamorous and alluring. The aim is to capture the attention of the viewer. However, if you wish to become a glamour model, you should be comfortable with the fact that some jobs may require a certain level of exposure.

Glamour modelling is a great choice for women who are unable to have a career in catwalk modelling. While catwalk modelling has strict height and weight limits, any woman of any size can be a glamour model. In fact, curvier women are often preferable. In spite of this, some glamour photographers may use various techniques like lighting and airbrushing to alter your appearance. This is something that you should be comfortable with when you enter the glamour world.

If you’d like to start attending glamour modelling auditions, Audition now can send you a text with details of the latest castings in your area (£1.50 per text with max of 3 texts per week. 18 years an over only).

Walk This Way

Friday, June 24th, 2011

If you’re just starting out as a model and you’re considering catwalk modelling then you’ll need to learn how to step out in style. Follow these simple steps to get started.

You need to be comfortable walking in up to 4 inch heels. If you’re unused to walking in heels then start with a low heel and work your way up. If you are walking in new shoes then either scratch the sole, or cover it with masking tape to give you extra grip.

In modelling, good posture is essential. Pull your shoulders back and push your pelvis forward, almost as if you’re leaning back. Keep your eyes up and focus on an object directly ahead of you.

As you walk make sure to put one foot directly in front of the other, as if you are walking along a tightrope. At the end of the catwalk, place your left foot forward, pause with your body facing the side of the runway and turn. Your walk will restart with your right foot and you should make sure you turn your face away from the audience last.

It’s important to practice and re-practice until you feel comfortable with your walk. You will usually be asked to show off your walk at model casting calls. These can be in rooms of very different sizes so make sure to practice your walk for different distances.

Once you’ve perfected your walk, sign up with our text service to receive up-to-date information on model auditions. You will receive no more than 3 texts a week, costing just £1.50 per text. Please be aware you must be over 18 to use this service.

Starting out as a Glamour Model

Thursday, June 23rd, 2011

If you’re interested in modelling but don’t have a typical catwalk figure then you may want to consider becoming a glamour model. You can be shorter or fuller figured than catwalk models but it is essential that you have good skin and a firm body.

People often associate glamour modelling with nudity but this is not always the case – this genre also includes lingerie and swimwear. This type of modelling is all about attitude. The focus of the shots will be you, rather than your clothes, so practice poses and facial expressions in front of a mirror until you feel comfortable.

When you go to your photoshoot, wear clothing that won’t leave marks on your skin. You might want to check in advance whether you should arrive with or without makeup as the photographer may have their own stylist. Bring your own makeup just in case, though, along with a selection of outfits and high heels.

During the shoot stay relaxed and breathe naturally. Your posture is important so pull your shoulders back and lift your chin up. Listen to the directions the photographer gives you but be prepared to use some of your practiced poses too.

Finding model jobs can be a time-consuming process, which is why we have a dedicated research team searching out all the latest opportunities for you. To stay informed sign up for our text service here on the Audition Now website. You’ll receive up to 3 texts a week, for just £1.50 a text. You must be over 18 to use this service.

If you dream of a life in front of the cameras or on the catwalk as a model, you might let your excitement get the better of you. It can be tempting to want too much too soon and to feel disheartened when things do not immediately go your way.

You must bear in mind that modelling is highly competitive and to make your big break in the industry, you may well have to exhibit considerable patience. You might have to go to many casting sessions before someone sees your potential.

The best way to approach the start of your career is to move forward step by step. For example, you must first do some research to find out what sort of modelling you would be best suited to. Then, you might benefit from producing a high-class modelling portfolio that shows you off at your best.

Another point to work on is ensuring you know what to do when you attend casting sessions. As well as looking the part, it is vital that you act the part too.

Meanwhile, it can also be beneficial to sign up to a text alert service so that you make it to all the relevant model casting calls. This is important because any missed audition reduces the chances of you getting your big break. Here at Audition Now, we provide such a service.

By approaching the start of your career with patience and diligence and seeing it as part of a process, you stand a much better chance of success.

Preparation Pays Off When it Comes to Casting Calls

Wednesday, June 1st, 2011

You might have plenty of raw talent when it comes to acting, dancing, singing, modelling or whatever it is you want to focus on for your career. However, unfortunately simply having the potential to succeed will not get you to the top of your field.

To achieve your goals, it is important you approach the task of getting your big break with diligence. Like many things in life, it is only by putting in time and effort that you will be able to make your dreams come true.

So, before you head off to musical casting calls and other such events, it is vital that you prepare yourself appropriately. By knowing, at least roughly, what to expect and by being ready to take on the challenge, you stand a better chance of beating your competition. On the other hand, if you arrive at the auditions without a proper idea of what it expected of you, you might well fail to make a good impression.

The good news is, here at Audition Now we can help you get ready for sessions like this. Using our various training seminars and courses, you can build up your confidence and knowledge when it comes to casting and thus maximise your chances of hitting the big time.

Also, so that you do not miss out on any of the opportunities relevant to you, we provide a text alert service that lets you know when and where soap casting sessions and other such events are taking place. By making use of both provisions, you might be able to significantly boost your chances of success.

To benefit from our alert service, you must be 18 or over. £1.50 per text, with a max of 3 texts per week.

Starting Off Small to Break into Modelling

Monday, May 30th, 2011

There is a kind of fairytale about breaking into modelling. Build up a good profile, be in the right place at the right time, and you might be noticed by the editor of Vogue, who will fall in love with your look and insist that you be on next month’s cover. In reality it doesn’t usually happen that way. Like breaking into any field, becoming a glamour model is mostly a matter of hard work rather than a single lucky break.

Start small and build up slowly. Being a catalogue model might not be your ultimate ambition in life but it’s well worth getting experience in the less star-studded aspects of the business. It’s often easier to get a toehold because there are less people striving to get into catalogues than magazines or television and you never know who you might meet on set. Every photographer you work with is a valuable industry contact.

Having a diverse photo profile, from swimsuit shots to evening wear and everything in between, shows off your full range. If you can include one or two catalogue shots – even if they look a bit boring to you – it shows that you’re willing to work hard and that you’ve got professional experience as a model. Don’t despair if you don’t get noticed straight away. In reality nobody does. It doesn’t mean you won’t get there in the end.

Model audition texts cost £1.50 each and we offer a maximum of 3 per week. Subscribers must be over 18.
