No matter if you are just
beginning
in the modeling industry or
have already been introduced into the world of the next top
model, you more than likely know that in order to be
"supermodel" successful you will need to be signed on with
one of the many top model agencies, either in the USA or
abroad.
Video - Top Model Agents
Getting signed on by top model
agencies is not an easy task and will require lots of work
on your part. And, even then the chances for stardom are
slim because of the sheer amount of competition at these
higher levels. Now if you are unsure of the names of all of
the top model agencies worldwide you can simply do a quick
Internet search for "top model agencies". This search will
either lead you to their website or give you their contact
details such as a phone number or address.
The Easy Way
I have taken time to list many of the
top
NYC modeling agencies here ...
. There are others and you'll need to generally go to a
larger city to find them. The main cities for these agents
are: New York City, Milan, Los Angeles, Miami and Chicago.
Some top model agents are now opening branch offices in
other markets such as Atlanta, New Orleans,
San Francisco, Seattle, etc. so you should be able to
get in touch with most of them. The easiest way to find what
they are looking for, find out about open calls and
interviews, is to visit the website of each
agency.
Getting a Model Agency
Interview
Some top modeling agencies will accept
appointments by phone and some may only accept appointments
through their website. Before making an appointment you
should just do a small amount of research such as finding
out which models the agency represents or which companies
that the agency has worked for. This is great information as
it will give you an idea of the agencies reputation.
If you get an interview make sure that
you are prepared with your picture portfolio on hand. Don't
have one? Well, many of these modeling agencies at the top
will accept just a headshot and a full body photo with no
makeup and good lighting so it shouldn't cost you much to
get some good, professional pictures to take with you.
Everybody Gets Turned
Down!!
If you happen to get rejected (Tyra
Banks did) by a certain agency just simply move on to the
next company as these top modeling agencies are always
looking for something different. If you have the look, you
might just get a job. Keep at it and don't give up until you
are absolutely sure you have exhausted every opportunity -
that's what it takes to become a top model.
