    1.try and find open calls (walk in auditions)
    2.when your 21 you will get more bookings
    3.when going into the really big agencies they have so many models to the point where u may not get that many bookings
    4.its really fun a lot of new things to do and you get to meet ppl
    5. You usually pay for traveling when it comes to modeling

      There’s a such thing called “inclusive modeling”. Ie overweight models, disabled models, minorities etc. You don’t have to be stunning to get a modeling contract especially in 2023

    • @rinnnnnnn.
      @rinnnnnnn. 8 місяців тому +72

      yeah I've seen it its pretty disrespectful to actual models though who've had to starve down for their position. While actual models have to have a diet to get a job, but the obese models can eat whatever they want and still get the same job. Just unfair tbh

    • @sheldongreene8366
      @sheldongreene8366 8 місяців тому +28

      @@rinnnnnnn. It’s not really unfair. It’s different trajectories in the modeling industry. It’s room for everyone in 2023 tbh. If you want to pursue the more conventional, traditional modeling route then you can do so. If you want to pursue the more unique, distinctive route then you’re free to do so. The modeling agencies have made it easier to become a model. You still have the traditional models in today’s age, with the addition of the quirkier models. Honestly this is the best times to become a model if you’re interested in doing so

    • @rinnnnnnn.
      @rinnnnnnn. 8 місяців тому

      when u think of a model u think of someone very attractive (traditional models). Someone who looks better than the avg guy/girl. The "unique" part of modelling is a way to try and be inclusive for avg looking or "unique" models like u said.@@sheldongreene8366
