5. Do ask for a confirmation fax. If someone is
a legitimate lead or offers you a job or a photo shoot ask if they would send "a confirmation fax" or if they have a phone number where you can direct a confirmation fax. If the people you are dealing with say "no problem" or something to that effect and do send a confirmation you have a good thing, what is known as: a credible gig. Anything said other than "No problem" is: Trouble. And ask for references. A valid person offering opportunity will openly accommodate. |
4. Don't keep looking in the mirror. At least
not in public. Look. Either you have what it is that it takes to meet industry standards for a model or you don't. And if you have what it takes you won't see it in the mirror. It will be inside of you. Good looks are only part of what it takes to be a good model and endure the test of time. Many so called "models" come into the industry for 2 or 3 seasons and that is all there is to say about them. But those that develop their skills realize this is an industry
in which you can have a future.

6. Do keep a regular job. This is echoed by
everyone in the business. And we learn from those that have been there. The what to expect. The best plan is to figure how much you need
to cover your overhead (food, rent, necessities).
Get a regular job that will care for those things with hours you can work with. And the rest of the spare time: pursue your dreams. Because Dreams can come true. It is inside you. |
displayed, or lack of, and may not want to have
you "on set" again. Or they may want you -but
instead decide to give the next job to someone who gave them undivided attention. Someone better focused. And also remember people talk to people. They may not say anything to you but your booker or representative may have to hear about it. So spare us all. Put the cellular phone away. Act professional. And with a high regard. You might even:get the call back. |

7. Do show up on time. If it is a photo shoot,
casting call, or meeting with an agent: time is important and sometimes very costly. And be patient. The people around you are the very people who will help you get where you want to go. Treat them that way. We'll be back ! |
