hey what's going on guys welcome back to the channel if you guys are checking
out this channel for the very first time you definitely want to consider
subscribing because i make awesome videos about the modeling industry
that you guys are definitely going to enjoy okay so you're interested in becoming a model
and you've been applying to agencies all around and now you're finally at that stage where
maybe you've been approached by an agency and they asked you to come in for an interview
so in this video i'm going to talk about how to prepare for your interview with the modeling
agency and in the second part of the video i'm going to break down some of the most common
questions that the modeling agents might ask you and how to respond to those questions so let's
talk about what you guys need to do to prepare for your interview with the modeling agency
all right guys so some of these tips are going to be a no-brainer but it's definitely worth
calling out and stressing the importance of these tips all right so number one you definitely want
to show up early and i know this is a no-brainer but it's very important to make a good impression
make a good first impression on that modeling agency because how you show up to that interview
they're thinking okay this is how this model is going to show up in front of their clients right
so 15 minutes early is on time showing up on time is late so keep that in mind
secondly what you want to do is dress the parts so you definitely want to dress like a model
think about dressing like a blank canvas right so you're not going into this interview making a
fashion statement you don't want to wear excessive jewelry and additional accessories that you don't
necessarily need just keep it simple if you're a guy black jeans maybe some boots maybe sneakers
fitted white t-shirts or fitted black t-shirts summer time you could even do like a tank top
or something like that and if you're a female also keep it simple you want to show off your
long legs you want to show off your limbs try to think about doing like a tube top or a tank top
pair that with a fitted jeans i actually have a video on this channel where i tell you guys how
to dress like a model and how to prepare for going on a casting or go see so essentially this is like
how you want to dress when you're going to that interview with your modeling agency
you want them to see you as a model and see some of your best physical
attributes and not be distracted by your fashion statement or whatever you might be wearing
the next tip is to keep your hair and makeup really simple if you're a female um for guys
you just want to make sure your face is clean make sure your hair is well groomed if you need
to get a cut to get a fresh cut and show up to the agency looking fresh and clean for ladies
try to keep your makeup very minimal you don't want to again do something that's too distracted
no lipstick just keep it nude and natural another tip is to try to pull your hair backwards so that
way they can see more of your face okay and then as a bonus before you show up to the agency make
sure you guys are drinking your water working out trying to get your skin as clear as possible
because you don't want to get that last minute breakouts before you get to the agency right
so and it's always good practice in general just drink water keep up with your with your personal
fitness and try to look and feel your best at all times and then as you guys are going in for
this model interview you definitely want to have your portfolio book in hand if you have one a good
tip is to have your portfolio images loaded on an ipad and that way you can just sort of like
swipe through your images as you guys are talking with the agents if you don't have a portfolio book
that's completely fine if you're new to modeling that's also fine as well just be prepared to
maybe talk about some of your experiences being in front of the camera with the agency and then of
course if you also have some polaroids that you've taken before the meeting it'll be a good idea to
bring those to the meeting as well if you don't most of the time the agency is going to request
that they take some polaroids of you and even if you have pictures a lot of agencies would actually
still take polaroids of you at the interview and in my next tip and this one is very important
be prepared to show your model walk because when you go in for that interview they're going to ask
to see your walk right they're going to take pictures of you most likely they're going to
take profile pictures head straight on pictures full body pictures close-up of your face so all
of that has to be in points but what's very important is having a strong confident walk
and of course most of the time you're going to be doing this walk within the office space
right so it's a very awkward shaped office space that you might have to walk through
so you're not going to have a traditional straight down runway to do your model walk
however sometimes it might take you in the hallway and that also works or they might take you outside
to see a walk but wherever it is make sure that your walk is on point make sure you're strong
confident follow the tips on this channel i've actually created several videos on how to improve
your model walk whether you're a male model or whether you're female model so definitely
check those out and then the last two tips i'm going to expand more on this on my next video
the last two tips is be prepared to answer the questions that are going to come up during the
interview one being tell me about yourself right so i'm going to talk more about how to answer that
question and some additional questions that you guys can expect also you want to come to that
interview with your own set of questions as well because you don't want to just show up like oh i
haven't really thought about this or it's not that important to me so you want to show the agency
that you're actually eager and interested in being represented by them you're excited about becoming
a model and actually work in so it's always good to have a set of questions in hand and then lastly
for this interview you can typically expect the interview to last anywhere from 20 minutes to
45 minutes chances are once you meet with your main agent who's going to be a booker
that person would likely introduce you to other agents in other departments just so they can
kind of get a chance to meet you and then that way discuss you and get collective feedback so
yeah guys so follow these tips this is how you prepare for a model interview with your agency
