Modeling & Acting 101 - A Model/Actor's Diary

Emily Wrote: Hi its Emily agian!  I know I asked this on another blog of yours , but I thought this should be a VIDEO RESPONSE ANSWER. It is what are the height requirments , mesarments, looks for the the different child models. I have only seen this answer 0-2 times. I think this would be great for younger followers of yours.  THIS SHOULD BE A VIDEO RESPONSE PLEASE! Thanks for the question and video reply request, Emily! Below is your answer! I also wanted to add that kid models should not wear makeup. Agencies and clients want you to look your age and if you're a kid that means no makeup for young girls so keep it simple and keep it all natural!

I have zero modeling experience besides my own "photoshoots" of family members taking pictures of me. I am 5'8 117 lbs. hips 32 waist 26 bust 29. I live in Indiana and don't have time or money for local agents. I work 50 hours a week and study modeling all the time.

I am not cocky just confident and being positive towards reaching my goals and I was wondering what you thought about my random trip ...

This is my first official video reply and for some reason the audio is out of sync. As I get more familiar with the whole vlogging thing, I'll make sure to work out the kinks so bear with me!

Yep, you read right. While I will still be doing my regular "Answering a Reader Question" series, where I simply address a reader's question and provide answers in its own blog post, I've decided to do something fun and more interactive with it. Since so many people lately have been posting questions about everything related to modeling, I'm now going to offer my readers the opportunity to have their answers provided by me in a video reply, which I'll accomplish using my web cam. I'll be able to upload my video answer here on Modeling - 101 and also plan on uploading it to my YouTube Channel, where I'm hoping to get more views and build a following on that site as well. So here are the instructions for how to request both a traditional reply and a video reply (read carefully...remember, good models follow directions!): To Request a Regular Reply (The Traditional "Answering a Reader Question"): Click on the ...
