      ​@@Cassxowary I mean obviously just anyone can be a model. Models are models because they make clothes look good and draw peoples attention (because they are attractive or unique). Every single field of work has requirements. You couldn't be a lawyer without studying law so how can you expect to be a model when you don't fit the standards for modeling?

    What's with these girls complaining they can't model because they're ugly? High fashion models seek for unique features and these supermodels doesnt just walk around or take pictures just to be pretty, they blend in to the theme the client wants and work their butt off to make it work when they walk. You don't need ethereal genes, you need confidence to make it work because fashion industry is very tough. Naomi Campbell won't be on her level right now if she isn't tough and confident.

      Ari,
      The modeling industry can be amazing - traveling the world, meeting incredible people, getting well paid... but, unfortunately, there are some 'agencies' who take advantage so it's always best to best safe. Always check and double check the agency online and in person before agreeing to do anything. I'm sure your time will come again.

    One issue with girls wanting to make it BIG in modeling: My mom did modeling for several years. She got pretty far (made it into magazines, made good money, worked with popular companies, etc) but I remember when I was fairly young she started doing it less and less. When I told her I wanted to be a model like her, she told me the reasons she stopped. My mom is EXTREMELY goal-oriented btw. My mom was shocked hearing her fellow models talk about what they would do with big, top-notch company managers to get big promotions and to get put out into the public eye more often. My mom had a lot of values and because she wouldn't get down and dirty with people that could put her in the limelight, or whatever they wanted you to do, she could only do so much and go so far with modeling. She told me it has gotten worse over the years (she started late 80's until about early 2000s). I'm sure this might not ALWAYS be the case, but I know my mom has seen A LOT. Just consider this before you start if you are wanting to become a model that wants to make it REALLY big because you may have to sacrifice values and your dignity.

    • @Ori0987
      @Ori0987 7 років тому +13

      Hazel Lovelock So when someone says "You have a Spanish accent" it's definitely not an accent because it's a language? No. It's an English accent because the person is from England and she is speaking with an english accent. Most people from England prefer when people say "English accent" and not "British accent".

    • @youdoyou9735
      @youdoyou9735 7 років тому +12

      Hazel, there's a flaw in your argument. Britain contains multiple countries that have highly different accents. The Scottish accent is easily identifiable from the English accent. (I know regions have accents, but that is the case in every country. It's well known that the different countries in Britain has distinct differences in their accents.) Thus, a British accent doesn't necessarily mean an English one.

    • @FreelancerClub

      Hi April, your grandma is obviously a very wise woman. Although you won't' have to pay for travelling if you are signed to an agency (they pay for expenses), it can take up some time if you're successful. Many young models join teen model agencies who take into account the model's education. You're still very young so take your time. I'm sure you're dream will come true when the time is right. If we've learned anything in life, always listen to your grandma!

      Maddie, 14 is very young. We would recommend speaking to a teen model agency before sending her images anywhere.
      Some models start young and the right agency can guide them through the important things such as education while they try out modeling. Always check the agency before sending anything images and make sure she is accompanied by an adult for anything model-related.

She hasn't made any efforts to improve and doesn't take the job as seriously as most models, the only reason why she's there is because of nepotism. Plus if you're sister is a replica she isn't going to attract much attention, contrary to popular belief you don't have to be conventionally beautiful to make it in the modeling world, you have to have unique features that make you stand out in a room full of other girls that want the same job as you. Hope this helped xx:)

  • @faithluv1049
    @faithluv1049 7 років тому +29

    As a twelve year old model, it is very difficult to focus on schooling, I'm in year seven but I'm being extended in my work to year nine work as I was moved into a higher grade. I find that modelling brings out a maturity as I fit in with older peers much more then the peers that I was meant to be with. It just might be me and my personality but I find that most female models that start from a young age are more mature then the average girl.
    Not arrogant, but mature.

      @FreelancerClub  7 років тому +18

      Hi Chelsea, if you are serious about modeling, there are agencies that may take you on and the option to freelance (find model work yourself). Height is not the be all and end all in modeling. Commercial models are often shorter than editorial models (catwalk models / high fashion models).

  • @anthonycoca2202
    @anthonycoca2202 4 роки тому +5

    I was scouted a few times after I graduated high school. They never said I was attractive or good looking. Instead, the said I had an “interesting” or “unusual” look to which I’d always think ~The elephant man had an “unusual” and “interesting” look. My lack of self esteem and confidence had me pass on the opportunities. That is, until when in my twenties I became hiv positive and somehow became the spokesmodel for California’s hiv youth health awareness campaign and had 15 billboards across the state and was doing spots on tv and radio. A few agencies got a hold of me so I figured I’d give it a shot. It was a painful experience. It takes a really thick skin to thrive in that industry. Praise may come your way, but cruel indifference will come as well.... Go-sees often left me feeling gutted. Every flaw you didn’t know you had will be brought to your attention. Any criticism you couldn’t imagine receiving will be spat your way. You’d be talked about like you were last week’s leftovers as if you weren’t even in the same room. If you were up for a job other models might get your spot because they were more willing to be more flirtatious and do sexually provocative nudes when none were even required or requested. I realized it wasn’t for me very quickly. In my thirties I went on three go-sees with a male friend of mine. Each time the photographer assumed I was sent by an agency and wanted to take the same Polaroids the other models took. My friend got annoyed but I would laugh it off. For me, who was made fun of all throughout school, the fact that they thought I could be a model was enough. I didn’t have to pursue it beyond what I did to prove a point.

    What people dont concider is that to be a model you dont only need to be tall and skinny. You must know how to walk the runway in a unique way and have unique looks. Modeling is a mix of everyday beauty with class and unique charactristics. For example, instagram beauty is one type of beauty everyone must follow. Modeling is different. You have to have your own looks that make you different from the other models and that isnt only the looks but the personality. To feel sexy, feel confident love every each imperfection of you and turn it into a unique perfection. This is the key to success and of course luck, but believing in yourself and have a personality on the runway is as important as looks.

      Antonia, if you grow to 5'6" certain commercial agencies would consider taking you on but there is also a whole world of modelling work for smaller models particularly if you find the work yourself. Promotional modelling and commercial modelling would be good places for you to start researching.

      I'm only 5'4 and I've been doing commercial modelling (mostly cosmetics and hair tools) and swimsuit modelling for almost 4 years now!
      Think about what makes you stand out. Someone is probably looking for exactly that!
      For example, I have naturally red and curly hair and freckles and really bright green eyes and make up and hair companies (at least where I live) seem to love that since it's pretty rare :)

      Such great advice, Violet. It really is all about your 'brand' and what makes you unique. A lot of companies are looking for a particular look to represent their product, service or collection so don't let your height stop you from your ambition. Remember, always be safe, be yourself and stay positive.

      Hi Jen, your height would rule you out of certain agencies and most catwalk jobs. However, there is good news. You find work as an independent model on your own and there are plenty of model jobs that do not have a height requirement. If you are over 16, you can start by creating a model profile and uploading a couple of shots here: freelancerclub.net/register

    modelling is definitely a dream of mine. A few months ago, a man on the street said that i was beautiful and walked like a model. Don't worry- he seemed nice and kept his distance. I was wearing heels, and probably look older anyway- I'm 14, so my main worry is my parents not taking this seriously or worrying about my body image if i get into this industry. Good luck to all you aspiring models!!

    • @FreelancerClub
      @FreelancerClub  5 років тому +1

      Well said. Modeling (a lot like fame) has a glamourous allure that does show how much work it takes and what so many models have to sacrifice to earn a living. The majority of models will not make enough money to do it full-time.
      Models who take advantage of the industry tend to find a balance between their modeling career and life. If modeling encourages you to eat healthily and work out, that's a positive but if it becomes an obsession it can be dangerous.
      The positive side to modeling is an opportunity to work with some incredibly creative people, travel the world, get a lot of perks and get paid.

      You can most differently do commercial modeling, which can pay more. You can do make up ads. Hair ads. High fashion runway no. But you can be 5'4 and model for clothing companies and they can give us the illusion that you're tall. Being reasonably thin is the most important. Cut down on sugar, dairy, and wheat, mix in with your young age and you can eat clean and stay pretty thin.

    When I was 9, so almost 6 years ago, I was at a mall with my family and a model scout came up to me and invited me to one of their agency's events. I never went, because at the time I hadn't even put a thought into that type of thing. Numerous people have told me that I should be a model, but I just kinda laughed it off :D. But now I'm kinda thinking about doing something small but idk...

    Even if I wanted I could never be a model. Like I’m thin but I’m big boned and 5’8 but again I’m big boned. And my features are average and not the best yk. I’m aiming to be a lawyer instead 😂

    I've been scouted several times but as soon as I mention my height they start doubting lmao 👺

    Hi! I've recently been thinking about modelling, and I'm average height (still growing lol), I have actually a pretty proportionate body. A lot of people have told me that my actual face is "stunning", that I have a nice natural eyebrow shape (I like a bold brow), and I have VERY blue eyes from both sides of the family.. One time I did modelling (for fun) and they told me I should seriously consider it because I'm easy to work with in front of cameras- as in I know what you mean when you tell me to do something (I can contort my body pretty well when it comes to poses but I'm not a gymnast 😂). Also, I'm not a girl who's into Adidas or anything else like that, I don't personally find I fashionable.
    Sounds good, right? The thing is, I have spots. They're not huge, but I have a lot of red ones. And blackheads on my nose. I clean my face twice a day with cleanser, toner and moisturiser and I eat pretty healthy. I mean, I'm only 14 so I'm guessing it's just age stuff. But would spots or skin problems be a problem when it comes to modelling?
    Thanks if you reply, it'd help a lot 😊👍🏼

    Question: I'm 5'6 1/2 and not model thin but not fat, I have more of an athletic/slim body. Would I be able to make it as a model? Just curious.

    when you say to send images with no makeup, does eyebrows filled in count? 😊

      As natural as possible Riona. Avoid wearing hats or anything covering your face. Good luck.

      I don't fill them in like HD brows or something lmao. I literally just give them colour cos they're blonde

    • @amak7663

      doesn't matter you have to be 100% natural. Because they could actually end up loving that your eyebrows are blonde.
