Want to correct myself over here and say that agencies to charge something called “chargebacks” and those are charges that you pay once a year throughout your contract and they are charges for comp cards, online website portfolio, mailing etc. Each agency has different rates, they could rage somewhere between $500-$1200 a year I would say (around)
Rowena Karmy thank you for all this info! Speaking about pictures- are we expected to bring printed pictures with us when we go in for an open casting call? What if you’re brand new to everything, can you just walk in without anything tangible to hand to whoever is at the agency casting? Or you just bring pics at least on your phone?
my son is trying but it's hard for him at his age to get into modeling because they don't allow open casting here for 15 year olds. any advice?? his Insta is colin.in.black he was recently contacted by koala modeling in Italy after seeing him on Insta it was kind of strange in approach, any advice?
I’m 5’10, 13 years old, thin, and when I talked to my parents about modeling they told me it was superficial and they wouldn’t support me. I really enjoy fashion and would love to be involved in the industry. I think mostly they don’t think I’m pretty enough to be successful but also they say I will waste a lot of time and money.
Modeling shouldn’t cost you. An agency’s job is to invest in you. I’m 13 and looking into modeling, fortunately my parents are supportive of the idea but still gave me the talk about how it is a cutthroat industry. At the end of the day you get to decide what you want to do. You’re also 5’10 and slim, that gives you a really good base to start in that industry.
You should fo for it! Look for angencies with good reputation and if you hsve to pay them its a scam! Then show your parents when you find one you think is good and they’ll aprove on.Im trying modelling too but my parents aprove.Good luckk✨
Thank you for all the great tips! I sent my photos 5 hours ago and already 4 Modeling Agencies reach out to me! They want me to come down or video call as soon as I can! Thank you so much! I'll send more photos. Thank you again!
Sunny Tulips honestly I was really surprised when they signed me! I definitely won’t be on the runway, but commercial models can make more than fashion!
My modeling coach told me to study modeling and I’m just getting started in modeling training your video really did boost my confidence and encourage me to keep going in this business thank you for this video I needed to watch and hear this 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️
Rowena is really an inspiration to people starting out. I think many people appreciate you taking the time and a LOT of work to make this video, thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge.💜
@@parkerasel8129 ofc but if you don't live close to them.. and also if they require standards you don't match you can't give up cause 2 agencies only didn't get you, especially Elite, do you have any idea how they do their selection? I've been to a casting of them, they take 2 people over more than 10 thousand.. imagine how low the chances to get in there are..here's the thing, and if you try other agencies there are so many others that are serious.. but also many others that are not, way too many. Also not everyone knows that those are serious so before getting in those many people try many different agencies and get screwed.
@@parkerasel8129 for most people is the opposite as you see the odds. How many Asian people with unique look are there? Not many. How many Italian tall with good look good body and good style? Many many more. For us the competition is much harder.
Great advice an fun video. I have a couple of young ladies that are serious about getting signed with an agency. Your advice was a big help even for me as a photographer on what photos to put together for them. Thanks!
So I just did my first shoot with my agency yesterday, and I've just discovered this video, and I thought woaw why have I never thought about watching such a video to help me get through and signed haha, anyways go for it people if you still haven't found an agency since it is a really fun journey
It doesn't come naturally what I do is I look in the mirror and say I am Gourgous and I got this and that's how I do it every body has confidence in them you just have to find it and you will be a awesome model
My first time I did a runway I was scared but then I just relaxed and for me it came naturally! I just kept a straight face and just focused on not falling over in front of hundreds of people 😂! But just try naturally but if not maybe talk to someone professional:)
@@d.t5314 I tried at home but as soon as I thought don’t fall I just started laughing if I think like tht I’ll start laughing I just have to think u don’t want to emabbras urself keep straight face 😭😭😭

Lavista Putri its difficult to be that height and want to accomplish that dream but don’t let it let you down, many successful models are shorter. Also remember modeling is not everything, see what other passions you may have what other things in the world motivates you.

Hi Rowena, This is just a note to say thank you so much for all your information concerning becoming a fashion model. Very well said and thorough and easy to understand. This information is timeless and invaluable the way you delivered it and would have been hard for someone to think of the actual process. God bless you and yours.
Hey Trashanda! Thank you so much for this feedback! I really appreciate it. I hope to continue making videos that can help everyone understand the ins and outs of this industry better! 🤍
ItsMaisha yesss do it during quarantine. agencies are looking for people during this time since their workers are working from home, and are going through every single application... good luck 💜
It makes sense to try to get an agent for commercials before you try getting into modeling. A relative started her commercials around the age of 4 years, but modeled for Target as well. Currenty you can see this teenager in her" Be a capn crunch (2020)". There is more work in commercials than in modeling. But I still think my relative looks more like a "model" than an actress! Let me know if you have any questions and I will answer them. Good luck
5'7, turning 15 in a month, pretty skin, straight at the start curly at the end hair, Indian skin (light brown) and my body is under training.... Super comfy in heels and practice walking n all I really really want to be a model.... And my dream will come true ❤️
I’m seeing a lot of people upset because they think they’re too short for modelling... I am 5’1, I have acne and I’m a model. Please please please I can’t stress this enough don’t be scared or shy go for it! You’re all beautiful the way you are and yes some will deny but it’s their loss not yours! And tbh with you a lot of agencies don’t give a shit about height unless if they’re looking for runway models so please go for it I think you’ll do amazingly beautiful!❤️
@@malirimmer9497 that's misleading. Huge agencies like IMG do tend to scout future models from boutique agencies, but you can also apply without prior experience. Some major agencies prefer it, as they can brand the model as they see fit- IMG also loves to take brand new talent
Look at the agency before hand (the models on their website) and see what the others do. Just know your natural hair is fire girl 🔥 and don't feel the need to change yourself for them.
I've talked with modeling agents and they said you can submit with box braids! It was a modeling agency in LA tho. Not sure about other cities, but I'm submitting with box braids, so good luck!
I want to get into a model agency so bad I’m 5’10, super skinny, strong features, have little experience but still enough photos to be booked and it just seems like no modeling agency my area will hire me
My mom never approved of what I wanted to do And this was the one thing I knew I always wanted to be She thinks I want to be a chef 😂 but I'm really hoping once I'm of age I can get into an agency
This is something new I’ve been into I’m 13 with scoliosis (spine curvature) , 5’0 , curly hair and pretty pale. I’ve been into to fashion so much recently
I love this video and it really helped me know a bit more about modeling..also if you go to 4:20 and just skip 10 sec you hear her say uhm over and over again it sounds like me in a presentation lol
There’s this modeling and talent agency I’m applying for that gets people great acting and modeling jobs but they have you pay for classes. Should I do it?
BleezyB TBL no a real agency promises you work without you paying them. If a company asks you to pay a fee it’s because most likely you’re not going to get any work
im yikes you’re not done growing girl!! It’ll definitely work out for you, girls don’t stop growing till they’re about 20, so go chase your dreams and don’t let that stop you!!!
soph lmao you’ll still grow girl. I’m the same age as you, I’m 5’5 . And I’m 111lbs. But I’m also really into the modeling industry!! 5’7 in my opinion is pretty tall💗🥺. But I know you can do it!!
Asmita Ghonde Me too!! I’m 17 and I grew again so I’m 5’9, anything is possible! If your only 14 and you’re 5’8 you’re definitely not done growing girl
I'm almost 14, and I've wanted to model for a couple years now. Idk if now is a great time to start but I would love to model and I feel like now is the time I should start, especially bc I've found myself and stuff I am passionate about.
I'm 5'8.5, Chinese-American, 14, skinny, and I want to model so bad. I sorta got scammed lol so I'm watching a bunch of these vids to help me start the right way. thank you so much for this video tho, it helped a lot :)
I’m 5’5 and 14 (15 next month), however I hope I can grow taller! I’ve been stretching, working out, and eating well. I really hope I grow! However I looked online and it said that growing stops at 15? I really hope that’s not true haha, I want to start modeling soon (but runway modeling is my dream). Does anyone have any tips?
Tati Tash My sister is 24 and is still growing. It depends on who you are and genetics!!! Also, there is commercial modeling that you can do in the meantime before you grow to runway height!❤️😩
I heard that it’s possible to be in debt if you don’t make it and I wanted to know if that was true and more information on that if possible. Thanks much love 💕
Do you have to bring a portfolio to open calls? So far, I mostly applied online and never got in. I feel like I'm too alternative for normal agencies and too normal for alternative agencies (it's been five years). I feel like my face isn't great maybe, not sure how to improve my applications, I already made polas and test shoots
I’m 5’8 and I’m 17 and 120 pounds. And I have been told since I was in 5th grade that I should become a model but I’m having trouble starting off. I think I am “unique” looking and pretty but I don’t know for sure if I am what agencies are looking for. I have kind of a stronger nose so my nose stands out a little bit. My hair naturally is wavy and I have green eyes. But I REALLY want to become a model but I feel like I waited too long to start. Is it too late for me to start modeling?
Marisa Wilson It is never too late to start anything. Yes modeling is slightly different in that sense, though I am 23 and right now agencies tell me this is the right time for me. So 17 is still so young, you cant legally even work without a parents signature until you are 18 I believe so you are good. If you really want to pursue this then you have to start doing the research and see if this is something you want to do.
17 is not too old at all! I’m 15 and signed to an agency and we have a yearly event where you meet with agencies from ny and la and EVERY SIBG AGENCY tells me I’m too young because you have to be 18 to walk in nyc so 17 is a great age to get started
@@julianajaasma6816 wow. That's nice. I also want to be a model so bad in NY or LA but it's kinda hard coz I'm so far away from those cities. How do someone even start. How did you start?
Asunta Louis I emailed an agency near me and after a test shoot they signed me, and most local agencies have connections in those cities so after you’ve been with them for a little bit or when you’re about to or are 18 they may set you up with meetings at agencies there if you tell them you’re interested in that. Also if you’re just going to those cities they can set up meetings there for you. Like I said we have an event every year to meet with bigger agencies and 8 out of the 12 girls that were 18 or over looking for agencies in nyc got signed and 4 moved there right away
Hunter La Croix the sad part is some agencies just never ever reply to you. They don’t tell you yes or no which sometimes sucks. But if they do want you they will be in touch.
Want to model soon baddd been taking my own pictures hope one day I pray everyday I will get Spotted by one ☺️.. but I'm also think I'm sooo short I'm 5*5
I'm also dreaming to become a model and work internationally, but my problem is" I'M POOR". I don't have any stuff to shoot myself for posting. I'm don't have any luxurious and extravagant outfits. No one ever seen my dedication to my dreams, No one ever support me even taking a good Picture of me. I'm slightly photogenic but no one can see it. They define beauty as having white skin, pointed nose, sexy body(for women), have muscles (for men). My Dream will always stay as a dream, I don't think If I can achieve it. 😔 But still, when I finish my College I will try to be a part of modeling industry. For you ma'am, good luck for your journey! I'm so proud that you did it.
Modeling is something I’ve been wanting to do for YEARS the only downside is I’m 12 and I want to start now I just don’t know if it’s a good age or not.If anybody has anything that’ll help me or any serious agencies(tips?). If you could leave a comment it would really Help me get started in my career ❤️:)
So useful!! I’m 6’1 hopefully I’m not too tall but I’m from LA and all seem to be submissions online only , should I call and try to schedule an appointment or something?! Ur like a Kendall Jenner look/vibe but totally your own!! So bomb bout to follow your insta. Thanks for the tips!
I would add the height she mentioned is more for high fashion. However, there are different types of models/talents where height is no issues. My daughter and I are at local agencies. Im older with 5'7 is my height and my daughter is 5 ''2 and act and model We hope to sign to bigger agencies when we move to California and Chicago. I have faith we both will do great. Do you have any agency suggestions for older models in LA, NY, or Chicago
Am tall ,slim, ad dark in complexion I wanna be a model so badly becox I love it ad has a modeling body but don't know how ad am scared becox I don't have any friend to teach me
Precious Anthony you can sign up for some modeling classes on your own, watch videos on modeling, tips and how to pose and walk the runway(if you want to do runway) before applying for agencies if that boosts your confidence. Good luck
Me : I want to became a Victoria's secret model. My personality: 13yr, 5'3, not from USA Also me : now matter what. I'll became a Victoria's secret model one day. Even if I have to sacrifice everything I love. Please guys can pray for me 🙏
I have a question ? Do u know any agency’s for Teenage modeling ? Or advice! I want to become a model I am 5,4 , Mexican , brown eyes had long hair but short now and I’m 13 !
Google the ones in your area, and apply for ones not being run out of a house with great reviews. If they're in a house, red flag but maybe not the end of the world. If they charge a fee, it's a scam

Hi Rowena, This is just a note to say thank you so much for all your information concerning becoming a fashion model. Very well said and thorough and easy to understand. This information is timeless and invaluable the way you delivered it and would have been hard for someone to think of the actual process. God bless you and yours.
Hey Trashanda! Thank you so much for this feedback! I really appreciate it. I hope to continue making videos that can help everyone understand the ins and outs of this industry better! 🤍
I’m 5’’6, 13 years old, Lon legs lmao, Lon arms, dark skin, I wanna be a model SOO bad
I think u should go for it luv 🤍
@@M4ridine ty!! And I'm planning on it after covid-19
ItsMaisha yesss do it during quarantine. agencies are looking for people during this time since their workers are working from home, and are going through every single application... good luck 💜
yasss go for it 😍
go for it beautiful
This was very clarifying. I realized how little I knew about what to do. And spent lots of money I didn't need.
It makes sense to try to get an agent for commercials before you try getting into modeling. A relative started her commercials around the age of 4 years, but modeled for Target as well. Currenty you can see this teenager in her" Be a capn crunch (2020)". There is more work in commercials than in modeling. But I still think my relative looks more like a "model" than an actress! Let me know if you have any questions and I will answer them. Good luck
5'7, turning 15 in a month, pretty skin, straight at the start curly at the end hair, Indian skin (light brown) and my body is under training.... Super comfy in heels and practice walking n all
I really really want to be a model.... And my dream will come true ❤️
i wanna be a model so bad, when i turn 14 i‘ll look for a model agency:))) i‘m 5‘9 btw
Yesss you’ll do really well,,Good luck!
I'm 14 and 4'11 kms cuz how r yall growing
@@greisidelgado2638 some lmao-I’m turning 14 this year and I’m 4’11 too, I wanna be tall too😭😭😭
I’m seeing a lot of people upset because they think they’re too short for modelling...
I am 5’1, I have acne and I’m a model.
Please please please I can’t stress this enough don’t be scared or shy go for it! You’re all beautiful the way you are and yes some will deny but it’s their loss not yours! And tbh with you a lot of agencies don’t give a shit about height unless if they’re looking for runway models so please go for it I think you’ll do amazingly beautiful!❤️
Also the best time you could do modelling in now since most modelling agency’s are looking for something different, unique and diverse!
I want to be in an international agency,IMG models
Same :(
you have to start with smaller local agencies because img models only signs big tike models with experience
@@malirimmer9497 do you have any idea what agency i should sign up first in LA
I want to be model but im so scared
@@malirimmer9497 that's misleading. Huge agencies like IMG do tend to scout future models from boutique agencies, but you can also apply without prior experience. Some major agencies prefer it, as they can brand the model as they see fit- IMG also loves to take brand new talent
Great tips Rowena ... the noise interruption made the video entertaining as well as instructive ;)
For black girls should we come in our natural hair? Or is protective styling fine?
Look at the agency before hand (the models on their website) and see what the others do. Just know your natural hair is fire girl 🔥 and don't feel the need to change yourself for them.
Saskia Den Boer thank you 💜
You can probably do whatever you want
I'd say natural, I'm no professional model but if I had the crown I'd go natural
I've talked with modeling agents and they said you can submit with box braids! It was a modeling agency in LA tho. Not sure about other cities, but I'm submitting with box braids, so good luck!
Thank you so much for this information! Please continue to share your tips
I want to get into a model agency so bad I’m 5’10, super skinny, strong features, have little experience but still enough photos to be booked and it just seems like no modeling agency my area will hire me
i would go for it , if you really feel good by it and know what you want to do with your life . you must take the change and i believe in you
You can try during pilot season (jan-apr) or fashion week like New York, LA, Paris or London.
Thank you guys!❤️
Do itt. Many modeling agencies look for unique/strong features, you can do it💖
Shanita KA this sounds stupid but what is pilot season? Xx
So I think I got rejected by a agency and didn’t even realized and now I’m realizing because you mentioned it. I’m gonna cry
if thats u in your pfp i think ur fit enough to model
When you have acne scars, poor meetings :(
@Jack Robinson thanks😘❤
My mom never approved of what I wanted to do
And this was the one thing I knew I always wanted to be
She thinks I want to be a chef 😂 but I'm really hoping once I'm of age I can get into an agency
I wish there were more resources like you!! I needed this!!
Ladies remember that Kate Moss was only 5'6''
kim k is only 5’3
I like the way, Test shooting with photographers is explained to viewers.
When you’re going to an audition tomorrow and you’ve legit never fucking done this before
This is something new I’ve been into I’m 13 with scoliosis (spine curvature) , 5’0 , curly hair and pretty pale. I’ve been into to fashion so much recently
that's such good edvice , i would trust u for everything not joking i would
I love this video and it really helped me know a bit more about modeling..also if you go to 4:20 and just skip 10 sec you hear her say uhm over and over again it sounds like me in a presentation lol
There’s this modeling and talent agency I’m applying for that gets people great acting and modeling jobs but they have you pay for classes. Should I do it?
BleezyB TBL no a real agency promises you work without you paying them. If a company asks you to pay a fee it’s because most likely you’re not going to get any work
Desmond Burton they get a percentage of what you make from a runway you walked or a campaign you shot. Basically they get their finders fee
Desmond Burton for the company you worked with. You and the agency you are with will be compensated
Desmond Burton yes but depending what the “special training” is
are u talking about barbizon, honey do not do ANYTHING with them
Thanks for all the tips! Watching your channel from Melbourne 🇦🇺
i’m 14 and 5’7.5, 114lbs, im signed to a fashion agency but im afraid that modeling wont work out because im too short :(
im yikes you’re not done growing girl!! It’ll definitely work out for you, girls don’t stop growing till they’re about 20, so go chase your dreams and don’t let that stop you!!!
soph lmao you’ll still grow girl. I’m the same age as you, I’m 5’5 . And I’m 111lbs. But I’m also really into the modeling industry!! 5’7 in my opinion is pretty tall💗🥺. But I know you can do it!!
Okay Man idk what to do I really wanna do runways for Victoria secret,Dior,channel & im 14 & 5’8 only
Asmita Ghonde Me too!! I’m 17 and I grew again so I’m 5’9, anything is possible! If your only 14 and you’re 5’8 you’re definitely not done growing girl
Okay Man when do u think I should I start lol like signing up for Agency’s rn I’m 14
I'm almost 14, and I've wanted to model for a couple years now. Idk if now is a great time to start but I would love to model and I feel like now is the time I should start, especially bc I've found myself and stuff I am passionate about.
when she said 5/8 my face went😐
im five 2
@@yarasayed im five 5
I mean if Devon Aoki one of the most beautiful models can I wouldn’t lose hope
NINA but does she make the most money?
@@kombuchalover8445 😭😭🤣
Love you’re personality ❤ thank you so much ! I’m a new subscriber
Modeling is my little girl dream, sadly am only 165cm
Just little ur tall enough to be a model
@@Umjiisacutie im 5’7 ! Almost 5’8 so i was wondering if thats okay for traditional modeling? Im also very slim 🥰
I'm 5'8.5, Chinese-American, 14, skinny, and I want to model so bad. I sorta got scammed lol so I'm watching a bunch of these vids to help me start the right way. thank you so much for this video tho, it helped a lot :)
I’m 5’5 and 14 (15 next month), however I hope I can grow taller! I’ve been stretching, working out, and eating well. I really hope I grow! However I looked online and it said that growing stops at 15? I really hope that’s not true haha, I want to start modeling soon (but runway modeling is my dream). Does anyone have any tips?
5"5 is a good height! They only specify heights when doing runway! I think u should apply to an agency!all the best
How did it go
Girls usually stop growing 2 years after first period.
Tati Tash My sister is 24 and is still growing. It depends on who you are and genetics!!! Also, there is commercial modeling that you can do in the meantime before you grow to runway height!❤️😩
Emilia Mazur I’m still growing 3 years later, so I guess it’s different for everyone🤷🏻♀️
Hello! I’ll be 13 this year which means I really want to start my career. I really feel ready and thanks for the information!
I heard that it’s possible to be in debt if you don’t make it and I wanted to know if that was true and more information on that if possible. Thanks much love 💕
I'm 12 and 5'6 and I want to become a model. I just went to an open call and it went great! Thanks for the tips!
Really helpful! 🙏
I loved your video! Thank you so much for all the advices.💛 I'm so excited to see your next modeling videos!!!
I'm 12 nearly 13 and 5'6 am I too young/old short/tall I'd really enjoy modelling but I don't know if I'd be good anyone know? xx
@@tifeolakunri5650 yayy omg thankyou!
I'm about to start modelling with a friend! I'm 14 and about 5'6, I'm subscribing hehe
Do you have to bring a portfolio to open calls? So far, I mostly applied online and never got in. I feel like I'm too alternative for normal agencies and too normal for alternative agencies (it's been five years). I feel like my face isn't great maybe, not sure how to improve my applications, I already made polas and test shoots
The queen of ignoring background sounds 😂, by the way.. thank you for the amazing advice
is 5'6 1/2 at 14 an okay height?
I'm a model myself, I think that's a great height to work at, especially you're still growing!🙂
thank you!
@@viktoriyaseme No problem! Good luck and all the best :)
Really omg😍it's exactly my height and am 14 too
Can you model at 37years?
I’m 5’8 and I’m 17 and 120 pounds. And I have been told since I was in 5th grade that I should become a model but I’m having trouble starting off. I think I am “unique” looking and pretty but I don’t know for sure if I am what agencies are looking for. I have kind of a stronger nose so my nose stands out a little bit. My hair naturally is wavy and I have green eyes. But I REALLY want to become a model but I feel like I waited too long to start. Is it too late for me to start modeling?
Marisa Wilson It is never too late to start anything. Yes modeling is slightly different in that sense, though I am 23 and right now agencies tell me this is the right time for me. So 17 is still so young, you cant legally even work without a parents signature until you are 18 I believe so you are good. If you really want to pursue this then you have to start doing the research and see if this is something you want to do.
Rowena Karmy okay Thankyou so much! Great video by the way!
17 is not too old at all! I’m 15 and signed to an agency and we have a yearly event where you meet with agencies from ny and la and EVERY SIBG AGENCY tells me I’m too young because you have to be 18 to walk in nyc so 17 is a great age to get started
@@julianajaasma6816 wow. That's nice. I also want to be a model so bad in NY or LA but it's kinda hard coz I'm so far away from those cities. How do someone even start. How did you start?
Asunta Louis I emailed an agency near me and after a test shoot they signed me, and most local agencies have connections in those cities so after you’ve been with them for a little bit or when you’re about to or are 18 they may set you up with meetings at agencies there if you tell them you’re interested in that. Also if you’re just going to those cities they can set up meetings there for you. Like I said we have an event every year to meet with bigger agencies and 8 out of the 12 girls that were 18 or over looking for agencies in nyc got signed and 4 moved there right away
You look so much like Kendall Jenner, Madison Beer, and Charlie D'Amelio!!! I really want to be a model, your'e video helped me, thank you!!!
How long til you hear back from the agency after an interview? Days? Weeks? Months?
Hunter La Croix the sad part is some agencies just never ever reply to you. They don’t tell you yes or no which sometimes sucks. But if they do want you they will be in touch.
Rowena Karmy can u reapply to those agencies?
I am so scared! I'll try it for the first time after years of my parents trying to get me to do it!
I'm so short but I hope I get a chance!
I want to become a model but i dont know how to tell my mom. Do you have any help?
Same also if if I’ll pass the look requirements
Omg same it’s like they don’t understand
Omg me too I am 5'8 and 15 and I wanna be a model so bad but I am not sure my parents are going to agree
Want to model soon baddd been taking my own pictures hope one day I pray everyday I will get Spotted by one ☺️.. but I'm also think I'm sooo short I'm 5*5
you look just like Dixie d'amelio
Hii! Would it matter if i have a baby face instead of a strong jawline?
I want to be a model but I have have soo much Acne and I know I would never be able to be a model. :(
Armanjot Sidhu Modeling agency’s love unique features

@@DD-et8ns you can do it!!
@@asias8474 awww tysm!
I'm also dreaming to become a model and work internationally, but my problem is" I'M POOR". I don't have any stuff to shoot myself for posting. I'm don't have any luxurious and extravagant outfits. No one ever seen my dedication to my dreams, No one ever support me even taking a good Picture of me. I'm slightly photogenic but no one can see it. They define beauty as having white skin, pointed nose, sexy body(for women), have muscles (for men).
My Dream will always stay as a dream, I don't think If I can achieve it. 😔 But still, when I finish my College I will try to be a part of modeling industry.
For you ma'am, good luck for your journey! I'm so proud that you did it.
Modeling is something I’ve been wanting to do for YEARS the only downside is I’m 12 and I want to start now I just don’t know if it’s a good age or not.If anybody has anything that’ll help me or any serious agencies(tips?). If you could leave a comment it would really Help me get started in my career ❤️:)
Thanks! These tips are super helpful ❤️ new sub!
I’m 5”1 😔my dream is to be a model
So useful!! I’m 6’1 hopefully I’m not too tall but I’m from LA and all seem to be submissions online only , should I call and try to schedule an appointment or something?! Ur like a Kendall Jenner look/vibe but totally your own!! So bomb bout to follow your insta. Thanks for the tips!
I can I still be a model if I’m 5’7 ? and my nose has this bump so can I still become a model ? 🥺
You should just have a go! As a model myself it's super important to just jump in and TRYYYY! :))) Loads of tips on my channel
Laura-Mae I Fashion Model thanks you so much ! ❤️
I really want to be a model but i have lumbar scoliosis. Do they accpet people with scoliosis that are like obvious?
I would add the height she mentioned is more for high fashion. However, there are different types of models/talents where height is no issues. My daughter and I are at local agencies. Im older with 5'7 is my height and my daughter is 5 ''2 and act and model We hope to sign to bigger agencies when we move to California and Chicago. I have faith we both will do great. Do you have any agency suggestions for older models in LA, NY, or Chicago
This video is really helpful! I want to model but I am unsure where to start.
Apply to local agencies in your country
Am tall ,slim, ad dark in complexion I wanna be a model so badly becox I love it ad has a modeling body but don't know how ad am scared becox I don't have any friend to teach me
Precious Anthony you can sign up for some modeling classes on your own, watch videos on modeling, tips and how to pose and walk the runway(if you want to do runway) before applying for agencies if that boosts your confidence. Good luck
REALLLY helpful. Thanks💗

Taco Colazo sme!
Google the ones in your area, and apply for ones not being run out of a house with great reviews. If they're in a house, red flag but maybe not the end of the world. If they charge a fee, it's a scam
