Modeling - The Things You Need To Know - Getting An Interview

When calling an agency, models should be prepared for brusk treatment. Agencies deal with hundreds of calls from client, agents, photographers, models, messengers, and others all needing immediate attention. It is a good idea to check with the receptionist about the best time to call back and if the agency has any upcoming open calls. Agencies are used to making initial assessments from a small number of snapshots. These snapshots should include a headshot, a full length shot, and a body shot for proportions. All shots should look like the model.

Models looking to be discovered should mail pictures to the agencies they are interested in. Each picture should have their name and phone number on the back. A letter introducing the model should be included. This letter should contain true measurements, height, and age. It could take several weeks to be contacted in return, so be prepared to wait. Models should keep track of where and when they sent their packages and who responded.
