Please tell people they should never have to pay money to join an agency, the agency should be making their money from their commission from the jobs that they are getting for you. Great video!!!!
@@deekennedy6049 some do that.. which can be helpful but the stuff they teach you honestly could learn on your own and they should be doing that for free considering your performance is a reflection of them and you’re the one making them money
@Achoee thanks for the info. My 10 year old son has started to model. I'm considering joining an agency but they want $1500 for training in order to represent him. I thought this was a normal practice so thank you!
This video is really helpful. I'm 28 now and feel like I've should've made modeling a priority to start sooner. I appreciate you sharing your experience. Stay Blessed.
Now a days age is less of a liability in the industry.. especially if you take care of yourself. Thanks for reaching out, this comment is the type of thing that keeps me going and lets me know I’m connecting to people. Here if you ever need me🤞🏾
Hey, sorry I’m just now seeing your comment. I would put why you’re interested in modeling and a couple things you’re passionate about aswell as your height, weight, city.. if you haven’t already listed those in the application. Make sure the agency your applying to caters to what kind of modeling your wanting to get into
I was signed for a year to a modeling agency where I live now and I dropped my contract last month because they barely got the models work! They was sending me to the same client every 3 months. I’m looking for new representation.
Don’t pay!.. go out and take your own portfolio pictures or you can even hire a local photographer to take some of you, but you make the agency money.. you shouldn’t be paying them to bring them revenue. Ask what kind of work they plan on booking for you. There’s nothing wrong with asking especially if you’re placing your career in their hands. If they’re not making you feel wanted or something feels off it’s totally fine to change your mind and find an agency that fits you.
Did you have to pay to get in with your agency? I tried getting in with an agency in cincinnati but they wanted 2K. Wasn’t sure if i looked good enough to spend that
It’s not about looking good enough it’s about being put into the right market.. and your making the agency money why would you pay to be able to make them revenue? Never pay
Your making the agency money as the model.. shouldn’t be paying to be able to do that.. however agencies to take a percentage of the money you make from booking which is normal?

I agree! Unfortunately there are alot of agencies capitalizing off of peoples not knowingness..
What about agencies asking for money for training? Is that normal?

You should reach out to some new agencies or even start marketing yourself 🤷🏾♂️
I want to modell but I don't know where to start😢
how old where you when you got injured and stopped soccer? What level where you playing at? Also what injury was it, your acl?
Sorry for the late response I’ve been away for a minute but I’m back.. Just a high ankle sprain during my college season
I had a meeting with a agency but they wanted me to pay for a photo shoot but didn’t tell me if they wanted to work with me for sure

A modelling agency called me in for a meeting they said they have a joining fee that gets deducted on my first job is that legit ??
