"I want to be a model". How many times do we hear this phrase to teenagers, but the truth is that looking good is not enough to start this career … Let's see what it takes to become a real top model.
Steps
Step 1. Check the parameters
Nowadays, to walk in the field of high fashion you have to be at least 180 cm tall. If you are 14 or 15 years old and over 5'6 'then you can start thinking about it.
Step 2. Try to get in touch with a serious and qualified agency
There are many agencies that "guarantee jobs" and easy earnings. It is always a matter of rip-offs to get money! Submit your photos to qualified agencies such as Elite, IMG, Wilhelmina, NEXT, Marilyn and a few others.
Step 3. Your goal must be pursued with perseverance
Models are rejected at 70% of the castings they participate in. Learn to deal with criticism. Even if you have won beauty pageants all your life, someone may tell you that you are too fat, short, unstructured, that your appearance is unsightly or not very photogenic, even if you are absolutely the most beautiful in the realm. perhaps for that particular project they require a person with a different skin, or a different hairstyle. You don't have to worry, it is normal that there are different opinions and tastes; for example, if you are blonde and you participate in an audition where they are looking for a brunette, obviously you will not be chosen.
Step 4. Keep a positive attitude and be prepared to work hard
You just have to focus on how good life will be when you have achieved success. There will be occasions when you won't be able to sleep more than 5 hours a night. However, always reject the feeling of failure.
Step 5. Make a good impression on people, be sociable, make and maintain contacts to improve your chances of working in this difficult world
Don't look for shortcuts and don't compromise on things that don't make you feel comfortable. If someone makes you proposals that you are not comfortable accepting, politely decline.
Step 6. Think of a backup plan
Study until you get a diploma. Try to continue with the university.
Step 7. Avoid alcohol and drug use
Keep your skin neat and clean. Eat healthy and don't deprive yourself of food and water. To be a successful model, you don't have to be very tall. There are models specialized in small cuts, others specialized in large sizes.
Step 8. Show everyone your safety
Express your engaging personality in any situation.
