Do You Want to Become
a Model or Actress?
Learn "How to become a model" - there are e-books that tell
all. Written by a Ford model!
Want to break into the modeling industry but
wondering if you have what it takes to succeed like the great
success of famous model Tyra Banks? There are lots of magazine
modeling opportunities for good modeling jobs. Take this quiz
to find out if you qualify to be the next top face model in the
petite modeling industry. Answer honestly. The questions and
answers below will tell you what your chances are of being
able to make it as a top paid model.
Are you between 4 feet 9 inches and 5 feet 7 inches tall?
This is the big one most models dread. Are you under 5'9"?
If you are 5'9" and taller, but less than 6'2".. Being short
does not mean you cannot model. Your chances to do high fashion
runway are out, but there are thousands of modeling jobs you
can do even if you are under the modeling agency 5'9" limit!
So don't sweat it if you are short.
Do people often tell you you're pretty or cute? If you hear
this often, then you likely have a good model look!
Do you have nice healthy
eyes, and are they almond shaped? If the answer is "YES"
you may have what is takes because the eyes are one of your
most important features as a model. How are your eyelids?
You might consider getting
eyelid cosmetic surgery to make your face even more attractive!
Do you have a really nice smile and straight white teeth like
Tyra Banks, for example? If you answered "YES" to a really
nice smile, give yourself 5 points. Do you wear braces? If
you do give yourself 5 bonus points! First, you are in the
process of straightening your teeth. Second, your braces won't
be on forever. Braces aren't a problem in the modeling business
like it used to be. In fact it can be a bit of a fashion statement
depending on the client and the job.
Do you sit and stand in a straight manner with correct posture?
Believe it or not your posture is a major part of your overall
look. If you don't stand or sit straight, you will lack potential
to become a good model.
Are you friendly (as Tyra is) and work well with others? Clients
love to work with people who have a great personality. If
you are friendly, out- going and not afraid to talk and you
are the type of person who never met a stranger and can talk
to just about anyone, good personality feature.
Are you a size 9/10 or smaller? Here's a really tough one!
If you are over dress size 9/10, this may sound harsh and
unfair but remember this is the modeling industry and clients
want a certain figure which is size 9/10 or smaller.
Would you accept a modeling job in a magazine but with no
pay? If a client calls wanting you to model for no pay but
excellent experience, would you answer "YES or "NO"? If you
said "YES", you are anxious to model no matter what the pay
is. Getting your foot in the door by showing you have experience
is one of the best ways to launch your career. The competition
is so stiff in the industry that without this valuable experience
a client may very likely pass you on for a different model.
Is your hair well cared for and does it have style? If you
have a great hairstyle and it has been trimmed or cut in the
past month give yourself 10 points. If you have roots which
are grown out and are visible, take off 20 points! If your
hair is clean and manageable without any strange "special
effects", give yourself 5 additional bonus points for taking
good care of your hair and keeping the look mainstream so
you can work with the largest number of clients possible!
If called, could you get the right clothing for a modeling
job? If you said I can get a required wardrobe together easily.
If you said, "hey I'm the model, aren't you supposed to provide
my clothes?" If on the other hand you said "Gosh, I don't
have all that stuff, but if I have to I'll call all my friends
to see if I can borrow theirs, or if I have to I'll run to
the store and get it!" Going the extra mile to do whatever
it takes to succeed is very important in the modeling business!
This shows a client you are great to work with and can boost
your career.
Do you wear the latest fashion styles? Do you give others
fashion advice? Keeping current with the latest fashion trends
is very important in being prepared as a model.
Are you willing to travel to get started in your modeling
career? Modeling nearly always involves some type of travel,
if you would travel over 200 miles to do a modeling assignment,
this is a good indication how serious you are in presuming
a modeling career.
Have you dreamed of being a model for more than 3 years? If
modeling is what you have dreamed of for more than 3 years
give this desire makes all the difference in the world to
your success.
Do you like wearing make-up and using good quality
facial supplies for beautiful skin, and having someone
style your hair? If the answer is yes, you are very comfortable
wearing make-up and would have no problem during a modeling
assignment.
