You\u2019ve probably read a whole heap of advice online about how to start out in the modelling industry, and you might have noticed that some of it\u2019s quite conflicting, making it more than a little tricky to settle on exactly how you should go about signing up to teenage modelling agencies. It\u2019s one of the problems with being so inundated with information \u2013 not all of it can be right (especially when it doesn\u2019t all agree).<\/p>\n

So while you\u2019ll no doubt find different advice elsewhere, this is how we think teenagers should start the process of becoming a model (and we are a pretty great teenage modelling agency if we do say so ourselves). Without further ado:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    What sort of modelling are you interested in?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    There\u2019s lots of different types of teen modelling<\/a> out there, and you can have your pick of the lot. Deciding which area you really want to focus on will help you structure the rest of your search though, so it does help if you have some idea what you\u2019d really like to do. For example, fashion modelling is by far the hardest area to break into. This is the catwalks and the big jobs. To succeed you will need to be a particular size and shape, because it means the clothes don\u2019t need to be tailored, they can just be made to the size that all these models are and the designers will know they look great.<\/p>\n

    Fashion modelling is definitely the elite option, and you might find the whole process really disheartening because it can be a pretty cut throat industry.<\/p>\n

    Teen modeling agencies such as Talent Management will be able to find you much more work in something like commercial modelling. It\u2019s far less specific so it means that when you do audition and win jobs you won\u2019t be doing the same thing twice. Much more exciting!<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      Get permission<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      When you\u2019re under 16 you\u2019re going to need to speak to your parents before you go any further. If you are serious about getting started with modelling they\u2019re going to need to be on board as well. From a legal stand point they will need to give you permission, but also in terms of practically you\u2019re probably going to have to rely on mum and dad to get you to the auditions or the jobs in the first place.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \n

        Do some research<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Once you\u2019ve got that all important yes, you\u2019re going to need to get down to some research. Mum and dad might even help you with this because they might have slightly different criteria from you. We\u2019d recommend that you find several teenage modelling agencies and don\u2019t just focus on one. It\u2019s quite rare that you\u2019ll be asked to sign up to an exclusivity deal with your agency, but check the small print to make sure. By signing up with more than one you\u2019re more likely to end up with at least a few jobs, but don\u2019t just sign up to everything you come across and spread yourself too thin.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. \n

          Develop your portfolio<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Your online modelling portfolio<\/a> is how you\u2019ll get the work. It\u2019s basically a lovely shiny advertisement for how great you are, so make sure that comes across. You can include skills as well as pictures, as you can also pick up with this way. Language skills are often particularly desirable, but anything from horse riding to gymnastics and beyond could make you the perfect candidate.<\/p>\n

          You\u2019re also going to want to have some good snaps in there of course. These don\u2019t need to be professional, but they should be quite clear. For more on how to build your portfolio, read our blog<\/a> on the topic.<\/p>\n

          Good luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
