Fresh Pepper I just want to thank you for this video,because i been applying for model agency for like two years now and till today i haven't been accented and i start to thinking what I'm doing wrong, but this video have really teach me a lot which i will use.
Please keep making videos. I wanted to know, do you think to be a male model, you have to be very muscular? Also, I've heard getting into the acting/modeling Industry, it's expensive. Can you talk about what kind of things cost or you'd have to pay for to be in the industry? Thanks
Jalen Johnson Hi Jalen, thanks for your comment. I plan to release new videos twice a week, next one will be released this Wednesday. To answer your question, you don't have to be "muscular" to be a male model, it all depends on your type. Muscular models tend to book mostly print ads for underwear, mens fragrance, and fitness health magazines, while skinner or slim fit models are more versatile and can do anything from runway, high fashion, and commercial print. Getting into model/acting can very expensive, but its an investment that pays off quickly once you get an agent and start booking. Perhaps I'll talk more about this in another video.
Hello, I am an inspiring actor who's dabbled in modeling. I'm not really a big fan of Instagram although I do have one to keep up with my friends and people I meet. Is it an absolute necessity to have an professional Instagram account for the acting industry?
Hi Tymir, its not absolutely necessary to have an Instagram account for modeling or acting, however it does give you additional exposure that you can't get anywhere else. Casting directors and their clients periodically consider an actor/model's social media presence when they make casting decisions so it doesn't hurt to have one. Hope this helps
Am a Nigerian too based in Abu Dhabi, I really want to do modeling along side my music production job but I don’t even know how to go about it from here.
I heard the ideal height for a model is 5'6. I am 16 last time I measured I was 5'4. I may still have time to grow. If I normallrwear glasses do I start wearing contacts to interviews for modeling or no?
The ideal height for male is 5'10 - 6'3, however there are lifestyle models who are 5'4 - 5'8, so it really depends on the market. You can still model with glasses
So I attended my first runway audition today, in the end they asked for a ____ card, I forget what it was called but its like a portfolio? Do you know what I'm talking about? Thankfully they were lenient about it and took photos for us to use but I really want to secure my chances of getting in by emailing it in but I'm not sure what it is exactly much less what it's called..
I'm a 16 year old aspiring actor and i live in south London. I know that there are LOTS of opportunities around me but i just don't know where to find them, I'm also not the wealthiest of people and all acting schools, agencies and what not seem to require a lot of money. Any advice?
Hi. Thanks for all of your help Fresh Pepper. My question is in regards to my son @gq_cam who is signed with a local agency near our hometown. He has been doing all of the things you mentioned. He has been in print, fashion shows etc. However these event have occurred based on his findings or by a friend, not by his agency. We've review Ed his contract that doesn't suggest he couldn't do these events etc. But he can't get paid obviously through these events. Is it ok for him to sign with more than one agency in State or out of state so he may be represented more and get paid. Your you tube videos have been my go to as his momager! Just kidding but as a way to be informed!! Thank you and blessings you. Take care and please follow @gq_cam , my son on his journey!
Momager! Haha first time hearing that. Did he sign an exclusive contract with the current agency? If so, then its no advicable to look for another agent without terminating the exclusive contract. Most agencies will do a 1yr exclusive and then after that you can go ahead and find multiple representations. I've seen some exclusively signed models in NY get represented by other agencies under fake names to avoid being sued.
Can a Miss world be a runway model in Paris? If so can she be both a runway model and brand ambassador in Paris? If she can how much does she get paid for a year? Pls tell me. I found u as a perfect person to answer this! Pls reply!
Hi Lee, it doesn't hurt to have a headshot at this stage, but they don't have to be professional right now. I'd recommend going to see an agent first. They usually have their own photographers they work with, they also know what their clients are looking for so I'd really listen to what they have to say.
Lee Lee you can start by doing a google search for agencies in your city...call them to find out when their open calls are if the information isn’t posted on their website
Fresh Pepper Hello FP . I am in Las Vegas, Nevada lol . I was speaking with Storm a while ago and she to stated that I may need representation. Its been 2 years since being with Push Agency and pursuing work
I don't know any agents in your area. If You were in LA, I could point you to one of my agents, but you'd have to be living in LA since they don't rep out-of-state talent
You stated in one of your videos that you've made 5k-7k a year modeling in however many years? Does that mean males cant make a living modeling? Or that its unlikely? Im interested but I want to eventually leave my day job and model full time.
Cameron Dean only supermodels make enough to not have any other job. Some models careers don’t take off until they are much older. For instance, I’ve never been a supermodel and have never made more than $25K from modeling in one calendar year...but what’s to say my career won’t take off once I get old enough to start doing menswear. It’s worth a try if you believe in yourself. You never know what could happen
@@FreshPepper What makes a supermodel? Ive seen sone supermodels who look good but not necessarily better looking or striking than a regular model. What makes them any different? Thanks
Any advice on how to get started In your hometown? I live in Colorado and I want to be a plus size model, at this point i will even do it for free. I have fell victim to so many scams.
How can I find an acting agent if I live in Las Vegas, since there aren’t any shows or no where around the movie industries. Is there like websites where I can meet agents or places to meet agents. But most importantly, do I have to go out of state to see someone then I’d have to get a lot of permission.
Hey bro, I dont know if you're in Lagos, but lagos is one of the fashion capitals of the world and the scene is growing so fast that American agents are sending their models to Lagos for work. I'd suggest going to an open call for Beth models or few models.
Yes I live at Victoria Garden city located at Victoria Island, I'm searching for a model School but I don't know where to start, I don't have friends or people into modeling. I am the only one with the idea in my family bcoz that is my dream..
Hy buddy actually I am from India and live hyderabad so here there no proper people who can say about modeling company's or agency's..can you suggest me something so that I can go international..to become a model for a brand
What agency won’t be a scam and are legit? I had went to an open call audition before and I got a call backs and during that meeting, I had to pay up front about 10 grand and I decided to drop that. I searched for another agency near me, I got a call back, and the same thing happened where I had to pay a lot of money. I heard that real agencies don’t actually ask for money because your work and gigs is what’s going to be paying them. So is there any recommendations for a really good agency?
What does it mean when a booking agent gives me card? It’s been my first time getting one and I’m nervous. I don’t know should I call them and stuff or should I wait till I update my portfolio ?
as a model, don't you think modelling requires a lot of time, for example working for a week at a certain agency, or does it just take few time, because as a student i need time to study. what do you think Fresh Pepper, am from Namibia
Hello brother i want to be a male model. Now i live in NYC. So how can i get a good agency for start my modeling career here? You you reffer me some agency around NYC.? Please help me, this is my passion from the heart to be a fashon model

Lerzoos Lercoos Hey man thanks for watching. You don’t ever pay an agent for representation. The agent works for you so they only get paid 10-20% when they find you work. I hope this clears things up a bit
Fresh Pepper hey man thank you so much. Hey have many questions about this I will give you my number it's 702-628-0845. Please man I really need help because I have many questions so please contact me there. But let me know in this comment that you are the one who is texting me in my number and not someone else please man I really need your help
Fresh Pepper hey one more question if I want an acting agent to represent me how should I go. Should I say hey I want you to represent me or how what should I say and do.
Go to their open calls. You might need to put together an acting reel. It also helps if you can get someone like a teacher, actor, director, or producer to refer you to the agency
Fresh Pepper and do you know some acting agencies for example I searched some acting agencies for LA in Google for example Avo talent and the Wayne agency .. Are those real acting agencies or not

Please keep making videos. I wanted to know, do you think to be a male model, you have to be very muscular?
Also, I've heard getting into the acting/modeling Industry, it's expensive. Can you talk about what kind of things cost or you'd have to pay for to be in the industry? Thanks
Jalen Johnson Hi Jalen, thanks for your comment. I plan to release new videos twice a week, next one will be released this Wednesday. To answer your question, you don't have to be "muscular" to be a male model, it all depends on your type. Muscular models tend to book mostly print ads for underwear, mens fragrance, and fitness health magazines, while skinner or slim fit models are more versatile and can do anything from runway, high fashion, and commercial print. Getting into model/acting can very expensive, but its an investment that pays off quickly once you get an agent and start booking. Perhaps I'll talk more about this in another video.
Fresh Pepper thank you very much for the help and I anticipate your next video!

I want to start modeling and get an agent but I'm about to get braces and I was just wondering do most agents care about that type of stuff or not?
I’ve seen models with Braces. It limits the type of jobs you can get, but agents are understanding when it comes to that.
is it possible to have two or more agent?

It's really hard in Nevada. I seem to always hear bacc from people out of state
The market in Nevada is really small. You might have to travel to a big city like Vegas or Los Angeles to get more work
Fresh Pepper Hello FP . I am in Las Vegas, Nevada lol . I was speaking with Storm a while ago and she to stated that I may need representation. Its been 2 years since being with Push Agency and pursuing work
Its never a bad idea to seek new representation if your agent isn't getting you enough work.
Fresh Pepper GM that is exactly what I was speaking of . If u knew of someone u can refer me to or how I can go about finding a reputable agent
I don't know any agents in your area. If You were in LA, I could point you to one of my agents, but you'd have to be living in LA since they don't rep out-of-state talent
This is great information. What about someone that isn't 6'2" what options are out there for them?
They can get into lifestyle or fitness modeling
