Models Submission Services Agency
Many agencies represent both
models and actors, but prefer models who also act and/or have some
acting training. Modeling agencies are not a school or a photo studio
and therefore they not start out people with no experience or those who
lack tools and proper training. They expect models to hit the ground
running, ready to be submitted for jobs once signed with the agency.
If you submit your portfolio and if they are interested in you, they
will schedule an appointment for you for an interview and audition..
Usually agencies meet with new talent once per month. When you arrive
to this meeting, you will be expected to have the following already in
place (or be prepared to obtain these before starting with the agency):
-
Professional
Headshot - digital and printed 8x10 version
-
Resume
listing experience and relevant training
-
Minimum
of basic auditioning training (from any qualified instructor)
-
Actor's
Access, Now Casting and Casting Network account (AA minimum)
-
Work
Permit (for minors)
-
California
Work Permit and Coogan Account (if minor interested in Hollywood
submissions)
-
Professional
quality commercial portfolio (for models)
-
Acting
Slate Video (not compulsory but highly recommended)
-
Professionally
Recorded Vocal Demo (for singers/musicians)
-
Professionally
Recorded Voice Over Demo (for those seeking voice representation)
If you do not
follow these guidelines and are not prepared, you will only be wasting
your time and theirs and you may not get a second opportunity. Hence it
is very important that you first find out requirements of that agency
before you appear for an interview or audition.
What to do after you have submitted
to model
submission services agency
It usually takes several weeks to receive a response from the model submission services agency.
You should understand that If they are not interested, you will not
hear back from them. You may resubmit againthey have received your
submission. These agencies receive too many submissionis to track and
it is difficult for them to report to you by phone if yours
was received.
It is recommend that you do not lose heart and worry. This industry is
glamorous and attractive but it takes time and patience. So keep trying
and it is only a matter of time when someone will spot you and then
there will be no looking back.
