7 Effective Tips On How To Become a Model
Modelling? What usually come into our minds when the word 'modeling' is being said? Many would say 'Fashion', 'Runways', 'Tall' and 'Attractive'. But those are just half of it. The modeling market is vast, so is not just high fashion. It ranges from editorials, commercials, TV Commercials(TVC) and even body parts. The world of modeling is more than just being tall and pretty. It is extremely tough and competitive; many do not realize how much effort is being put into shoots and fashion shows as it looks so effortless on our screens. And even more, the amount of practices models do to achieve their dreams as a high fashion model like Karlie Kloss, Liu Wen and Adriana Lima.

Fashion and modeling has revolutionized throughout the years
and still revolutionizing. Back in the days, it is a MUST for a model to be
tall, slender and good looking. Now in the 21st century, we can see models vary
from all heights, size, colour, features and nationalities. Unique features
that weren't well accepted back then like thick eyebrows, rare skin
pigmentation and albinism are now taking the world by storm. Cara Delevingne
are known for her unique eyebrows and Winnie Harlow who was teased for looking
like a zebra back in her childhood is now landing shows and shoots all over the
world with top designers. Last but not least, Shaun Ross who has albinism has
modeled for many top designers like Alexander McQueen. Food for thought for
those whom feel like 'Oh, I'm not good enough to be a model'
Every model has their story, on how they were discovered or
the countless emails they've sent to modeling agencies in hopes to be invited
for castings and the numerous times they failed to book shows before being
where they are today - a successful model. No model started their journey easy,
although it seems like they've never knew how it feels to 'start tough'.
So here are 7 effective tips on how to become a model.
Do your research!
It is extremely important to know thoroughly about modeling.
Google up articles, watch YouTube videos. Hence you can prepare on what to
expect in the industry and know the type of modeling you would like to venture
in. Whilst, look up for some potential agencies that you'd like to work with
and make sure they're legit and not out on the run for your money.
Settling in for the final decision
Once you've found a few agencies you'd like to work with,
start contacting them in every way possible. Be it via email, calling them or
even go over to the agency to meet them in person. That is the most ideal
approach to get a much clearer and accurate impression of the agency you are
planning to work with. This is an imperative stride as at this point you ought
to know how to pick a the preferred agency that best matches the sort of
modelling you would like to venture in. Once successfully contacted, the agency
should be able to guide you to starting up your portfolio as it is a very
important tool for your potential clients to know how you look like. A
strategically planned and taken portfolio is crucial as it will help you land
jobs.
Know what you're signing up for!
Once you're offered a contact or anything that needs your
valuable signature. Read the terms and conditions carefully as you do not want
to sign up for something you're uncomfortable with! Many models tend to
overlook this important step as they're overwhelmed with excitement after being
offered a contract.
Be yourself!
After signing a contract, you'd probably spend a lot of time
thinking on how to impress your future clients. Don't waste your time doing
that, because the only way to impress your clients is to truly be yourself!
Appearance is one thing, but clients do want to pick a beauty with great
personality. Here's another tip. When you attend castings, clients would have a
conversation with you to dig up some basic information from you so they can
know you more than just a model. If you're shy, you better not be in front of
your clients! They want someone who is confident to represent their brand.
Here's another hot tip for a model, always keep it simple whenever attend
castings! Wear something body fitting so clients can estimate your size and
wear minimal makeup! No falsies and thick eyeliner for you, ladies! All of
these are so your clients can have a more accurate imagination of you in their
products.
'Niceness' goes a long way.
Always be nice to everyone you meet throughout your journey!
There will be models who are mean and snobbish. So you got to stand out by
being the opposite! Treat everyone with respect. Treat people like how you
would want to be treated. The world is round, so whatever you do, it will
eventually comes back to you. So, be nice and smile!
'Be like water'
Okay not literally like water. But be easily adaptable! You
will meet all kinds of people, doing shoots in environments you never thought
possible and sometimes even needing you to push your body to maximum limits to
get that perfect shot that might worth millions. You can't call it quits
halfway because that might affect your future as a model and maybe you won't be
able to re-book shows or shoots. Every client, shoot and shows is different
from another. Take everything you do as a learning experience. Moreover, it
gives you more exposure as well. So you will be even more well prepared as
times goes by. Every model would tell you that.
Live a healthy lifestyle.
Many models neglect that. As you know, many models starve
themselves and suffer from eating disorders so they could be skinny enough to
fit into more clothes or to even impress designers. Don't be one of those
models! Instead of starving yourself, eat healthy, hit the gym or sweat it out
on court! It's better to be lean and maybe a little muscular than to be
unhealthily thin. If you haven't heard, many countries have banned recruitment
of ultra-thin models. According to Reuters, the French legislature voted for a
bill Friday the declares: "The activity of model is banned for any person
whose Body Mass Index (BMI) is lower than levels proposed by health authorities
and decreed by the ministers of health and labor." So if you want to still
land jobs and impress clients, quickly hit the gym and work for that Victoria
Secret model body! Get a personal trainer if you need to! And last but not
least get sufficient sleep and avoid cigarettes, drugs and alcohol.
Know that being a successful model is no overnight work. It
takes a lot of precious time, dedication and hard work. You will face all sorts
of criticism throughout your modeling journey, so don't take it too much to
heart and most of all don't let it affect your emotions. Because it can be seen
in the end product. Stay positive and take everything as a learning experience!
Don't call it quits so easily. Remember your dreams, goals you've set for
yourself. Note that, there will never be 'the best model'. Because trends are
always changing and fashion constantly revolutionizing, just be sure to keep
yourself in your best game and you are ready to be embark the journey to
modeldom.
In conclusion, keep striving for the best and never give up.
Work with your flaws and always improve yourself from projects to projects.
Little did you know, you might be in the front covers of Vogue or walking on
international runways for top designers.
