Welcome to How-to-Become-a-Model.org!

If you’re wondering how to become a model, first you have to ask yourself a very important question: do you have something in your appearance that triggers admiration and inspiration? Your eyes, your allure, your grace…? If your response is a positive one, then your chances are good and it’s more than ok to pursue this career. A model is someone ordinary people look up to in terms of appearance and style. There’s more to it than clothes and catwalks.

In this field, your looks are your weapon. Try to lay emphasis on your best features as you begin your journey into the fashion industry. A properly assembled portfolio should be your best weapon when pursuing the attention of agencies, because unlike actors, models can’t really handle their jobs without an agent. Therefore, be prepared to invest some time and money into several really good shots of yourself – make sure a good photographer is within your budget.  With a well made, professional portfolio your chances to catch the interest of an agency will grow significantly. Be sure to also include a nice headshot of yourself as well. Make sure to stay natural and don’t wear excessive make-up – it’s out of trend anyway.

Also, look into training. Even if you are a natural, some tips on how to pose or walk properly on a runway won’t do you any harm. Additionally, modeling training will give you a big plus at auditions. Professionalism is essential if you wish to become a model.

When searching for auditions, it’s ok to first start locally. You can find casting calls in your local newspaper or in commercials. But the best “search engine” is the internet.

At How-to-Become-a-Model.org, you can find multiple free auditions available near you. Do a quick browse and find which agencies are settled in your city and what their affiliations are. After auditioning, try to play it cool – you most probably won’t get any calls from the agency within the next two weeks.

The next steps are up to you. If you have what it takes, see you in New York, Paris or Madrid!
