hey what's up guys so today I'm going for a casting call for African fashion
week' la which takes place from October 14 through October 15 so what I wanted
to do today was I wanted to show you guys just how I prepped for a casting
call and maybe walk you guys through the process of what actually happens during
a casting you know show you guys what I wore today and why I decided to wear it
so today you know I'm wearing a simple cardigan but I actually plan on taking
this cardigan off when I do my runway walk because underneath I have on a tank
top and the reason I decided to wear a tank top is to be able to show my
physique when I do my runway walk I wanted to wear skinny jeans to really
show my features and show that I have long long limbs long legs and take more
comfortable longer strides when I do my walk and also just to show my physique
overall you know because if you were a lot of baggy clothes and if you were
stuff that cause up covers up your physique then you're leaving the casting
director I'm wondering and guessing you know what's underneath all their clothes
you know they don't know if you have a pudgy stomach you know they don't know
if you have man hips or whatever so yeah guys so there you go so come with me let
me show you what's about
so one thing about it lays that you have to get used to the traffic there's so
much traffic in this city it takes at least 35 minutes maybe an hour to get to
where you're going and even when you get there then you have to like allocates
another 15 minutes at least to look for parking so that's something to keep in
mind living in this city and trying to make it to auditions and castings you
just have to allocate a lot of time alright so I finally found parking I'm
downtown LA and so right now I'm just gonna go to my casting and we'll see
what happens with me luck guys alright so the thing about oh shit
that looks like I think that's my friend that looks like my friend
so far
the quoi what's up
I'm going to the Caston what are you doing yeah come on are you going to
let's kill it yeah okay good to see you say hello to the to the
people hi people
good to see you so how'd you hear about this Caston Instagram Instagram yes yeah
I actually I heard it on Instagram to somebody for it it maybe somebody tagged
me at the post
do you have any advice for people who are going to castings what is something
that they should keep in mind when they walk in when they're walking yeah
I always think this to be confident you said what to be confident always be
confident and I like is your last walk ever and that should come across so they
confident I like this and just be calm I think this is anything right here
break your leg so usually when you go to cast in so when you go to auditions they
usually like to have them at sort of like a loft looking space or some kind
of studio one thing that you would notice is that they usually have a lot
of like photography equipment or at least you know sort of like a long
hallway so people can actually do their runway walks and that way the clients
can see or the casting director can see and easily judge how well the models
were walking
so when you walk into an audition or a casting the first thing that they
usually have you do is fill out an info sheets usually the info sheet would have
you know whose information like who's your agent your number your contact
information your email your size information and this is where they
usually take a comp card if they actually bring the comp card before
dad's next they actually did take a photo and then after taking a photo they
asked me to do my walk
so that's it guys you know that's what happens during auditions you know you go
in there to take a picture you fill out the form and you do your walk and then
hopefully in a couple of days you hear some good news and if you don't then you
know this part of the business like I said before 95 percent of the times
models get rejected so it's only that 5% that we do get accepted that makes it
all worth it so hopefully you guys are here some good news for me hopefully I
got booked so stay tuned guys I'll see you guys next week
