Lots of people want to become a model, but some are more
successful than others. Neon Models explains the right steps to take to give
yourself the best chance of finding success as a model.
Step One – Decide if you really want to be a model
Think about the reasons for wanting to become a model, and
though it might be hard, try to assess yourself realistically for model
potential. Are you taller than average, do you have exceptionally clear skin
and are you photogenic?
Step Two – Do some research
Read up on the industry, what’s expected from you and what
you can expect. Find out about the major modelling agencies, how they work,
where they’re based and what their guidelines are like. You can also contact a
modelling support company such as Neon Models, who can give you an independent
assessment for modelling potential and help you put together an action plan.
Step Three – Make sure you have support
If you’re under eighteen, then you can’t be a model without
your parent’s consent, so you need to discuss it with them, and make sure
they’re on side. The chances are they’ll probably get as excited about the idea
as you, and will help you on your way.
Step Four - Submit your photos to an agency
Read their guidelines carefully and make sure you follow
them to the letter and don’t forget anything. Then you’ll have to wait to see
what they say. It’s fine to submit to a few agencies at once, but only do as
many as you’ll be able to take rejections. Rejection is part of life for a
model, and no reason to give up too soon.
Step Five – Be professional
If you’re lucky enough to get invited in for an interview,
then try to stay calm and just be yourself. If you’re under eighteen your
guardian will need to go with you. Answer all the interviewers questions
honestly, and try not to babble. If they offer you a contract then check it our
carefully and read the small print.
