How to approach an agency /
coordinator?
The oldest way to go about it
is to visit them. Book an appointment ahead of time by
phone. Bring at least 2 pictures. They don't have to be
professional pictures. A head shot, natural and clear. Also
a full length shot that somewhat reveals your figure, a
clingy dress , swimsuit, figure flattering clothes or other
tight fittings garments should be worn. Forget about baggy
clothes! It will tip off viewers that you have something to
hide. Ask lots of questions. Ask to see what work their
models are currently doing? Ask for names and phone number
of clients and call them to verify the information, be
concerned if they promise you work right away or promise you
high salaries. If they don't allow you time to think about
it or if they use pressure techniques to sign the contract,
be concerned. They should not ask for money up-front for
classes or training. Be concerned if the they claim to be
looking for ordinary people. Reputed agencies/coordinators
might have open interviews during the week, give them a call
and find out. Also you can send your photo and resume as
mentioned earlier. |
