Modelling Auditions
A great way to get extra cash on the side while pursuing your acting career is to do a little modelling work. Modelling auditions are sourced through your modelling agency, but the type of audition will depend on the style of modelling you are interested in doing.
Modelling can be separated into several categories:
- Promotional Modelling
- Photographic Modelling
- Runway Modelling
- Body Part Modelling
- Commercials
Commercial agencies often have modelling departments, and modelling agencies often have commercial departments, so if you can find one that does both, it will allow you the freedom to get started on both your modelling auditions and acting career at once.
You can contact each modeling agency via the submissions / new talent instructions on their websites. Agents are always looking for fresh faces and there’s no reason not to reach out to as many agencies as you are able to, simply to have more options when it comes time to take meetings.
As a model, one fantastic asset you will accumulate to aid your acting career is a portfolio of professionally shot photos to establish and maintain a strong social media following. This will be endlessly helpful as a solid social media following is one of the top things filmmakers and casting people take into account outside of credits and talent.
