Modeling 101 Skype Group Chat #2 - Saturday, May 24th @ 1pm PST

It's almost time for the second Modeling 101 Skype Group Chat, folks! The first call went really well and based on that experience, I am confident the second call will be even better! Below are details about what to expect and how to join:

***PLEASE NOTE: In order to attend the group chats you must be a contact of mine on Skype. If you aren't on Skype, you can't be a part of the call. My Skype ID is: dania.denise. After you send me a request to connect (or if you give me your Skype ID, I'll send you a request) I will add you to the group.***

WHEN: Saturday, May 24th

TIME: 1pm PST (That's California time...those out of state and out of the country please note the time difference as it applies to you)

WHERE: Skype. Only people who are contacts with me on Skype will be able to attend. If we're not connected yet, please message me your Skype ID so I can send you a request. Once confirmed, I will add you to the Modeling 101 group.

HOW TO JOIN THE CALL:

Simply make sure you're logged onto Skype on May 24th at 1pm and have your speakers on. I will call the group at 1pm. All you have to do is answer the call and you'll be good to go. The call is audio only, Skype's video group calls are 10 people max and the group is currently 10+. :-)

THE TOPIC: MODELING AGENCY REPRESENTATION

Points that will be discussed:

- Why It's Important
- Is It Right for You?
- What Agencies Look For
- Where to Start in Your Search

This call is ideal for:

- newbies with zero modeling experience
- people with some modeling experience
- those interested in agency representation

Male and female, all ages welcome! Freelance models and those with agencies already are more than welcome to join the call but I will be focusing on info you may already know about. My next Skype group chat will focus on freelance modeling, btw.

There will be a Q&A session afterwards. The call is currently scheduled for 1 hour but depending on how many questions there are, I'm more than happy to extend the call as needed.

Can't wait to connect with you all!

Want to Be a Victoria's Secret Model?

(*Due to the number of comments and questions I get from aspiring models about working for VS, please be sure to read my post on this very carefully. If you don't meet all of these requirements then you cannot become a model for VS. If you are not tall enough, if you are not signed to a top agency, your chances are not good. If you don't meet the requirements, please don't be too upset about it. Find another field of modeling you may be good for. There are plenty of other modeling opportunities for models outside of being a VS angel. They may not be as good or as well-known as VS but it's better than nothing.) I know I’d jump at the chance to be offered a gig modeling for Victoria’s Secret (although I think they’d be irritated by Photoshopping my stretch marks HAHA, yeah, I said it, I’ve got stretch marks!). All silliness aside, the gals of Victoria’s Secret are probably the inspiration for a majority of aspiring models out there. Not only do they get to wear the s...

Male Models & Height

(This particular post is in reference to male models seeking to do fashion and runway modeling only, not commercial/print.) So I realize that many of my posts are directed at female models because, well, there are so many of them out there! But I do acknowledge and recognize the male models out there, too, and believe me I do my best to try and squeeze in posts that relate to you guys as well. While I will say that much of the information I provide (casting calls, submitting to agencies, etc.) can be applied to male modeling as well, I don't want anyone to get confused or feel they have to sort out exactly what applies to females and what applies to males so I decided to start trying to do more posts for male models or those aspiring to be one. The height factor is not just an issue with female models but male models as well. Unfortunately, there are even less "exceptions to the rule" when it comes to male models than female models. There are definitely the Ka...

How Old is Too Old to Model?

It’s no secret that the media has made a big deal out of youth. Think about it: how many people have you heard say, “Gosh, I can’t wait to get wrinkles!” Worldwide, selling the idea of youth has made many companies billions of dollars. Without the models, however, they wouldn’t get very far. So that’s the obvious stuff but what about the question of age and being older in the modeling industry? Well, for starters, if you plan on being in the fashion and runway field, the younger you are the better. The longevity for this type of modeling is extremely short for the majority of models involved. Agencies sign girls as young as 13 years old and tend to hesitate if a model is over 18. This topic, like the height issue, is a reality of the industry that you don’t have to agree with but you will have to accept or at least get used to. It’s just a plain fact that agencies and their clients can get more work out of youthful models than those who already show the signs of aging. Sadly, this...
