With school in the way, its really hard to go to open castings in person. Do you think they're as effective as in person meet and greets?

It depends on whether the casting...Hi muyiwa suru!<br /><br />It depends on whether the casting you're attending is actually an "open call" for a modeling agency or if you've been invited to an actual interview.<br /><br />If you copy/paste the link below, it will give you more details about the difference between these two:<br /><br />http://amodelsdiary.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-difference-between-casting-calls.html<br /><br />If you're going to a casting that's an open call for an agency, there won't be an interview portion. It's fairly fast in and out. They might ask you 1-2 basic questions but it won't be a formal version like they would have if you were scheduled for an actual interview.<br /><br />I don't know if you've submitted snapshots already for this casting or if you'll be bringing snapshots with you but you should look the same as in the photos you submitted or plan on leaving with the agency. If short dreadlocks are how you wear your hair on a regular, every day basis then that is the style you should stick with.<br /><br />Dreadlocks in general aren't very common in the mainstream categories of modeling but that doesn't mean you should completely change your hair right now. It's best to go as you are and see what feedback you get from the agency.<br /><br />Leggings and a fitted blouse is best. They need to see your figure/shape and that is easier to accomplish by wearing a fitted blouse. Depending on what kind of agency you're going to, they might have you change into a swimsuit so even if you don't wear a fitted blouse you'd be able to show them your body shape with the swimsuit.<br /><br />As long as the blouse you're planning on wearing isn't baggy, you should be fine.<br /><br />If you're attending a casting for an actual modeling job then you can wear leggings and a blouse that isn't quite as fitted (still stay away from baggy clothes) and your short dreadlocks.<br /><br />I hope that helps somewhat. I don't have many details about your situation so I tried to cover all the bases.<br /><br />Best of luck with the casting!Dania Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05395576931121009984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768796656331806390.post-72134549021208033682016-09-22T06:49:51.579-07:002016-09-22T06:49:51.579-07:00Hi.

Is it okay for me to put on leggings and a not-so-fitted top? And another thing is o have short dreadlocks...Will that be a problem?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09535000067009711062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768796656331806390.post-76801712265687359712013-10-12T10:27:52.123-07:002013-10-12T10:27:52.123-07:00Hi, Anonymous!

I was just wondering if we have shave??<br />I don't shave because when you start shaving you have to shave continously... also there are things people say, if you shave, your hair gets thicker, etc... Are they true?<br /><br />Thank you :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
