How to make a great first Impression with a Modeling Agency?
Excelling in the modern modeling industry without the
aid of a well-established Singapore
modeling agency is a task akin to climbing a mountain alone. Getting into a
good model agency is essential and an agency which sees potential in you will
be acquiring top notch jobs for you as well, but impressing an agency also
seems like a daunting task. But do not fret, as we will list you some insider
tips on how to make a perfect first impression that lasts.
Submit
quality photographs
This would one of the first few things you would be
submitting to the agency alongside your resume and cover letter. Now your instinct
or first thought would tell you to go borrow your friend’s makeup and dress,
and take as many glamour shots as possible. Quite to the contrary, that is
actually a very wrong move.
Why? It’s because any Singapore modeling agency, like Create Talents and Models would be looking for a humble blank
canvass they can weave to fit into modeling, rather someone who appears to be
strongly inclined to a particular style of modeling and may pass off as
arrogant. The agency would want to see what kinds of styles they can pull off
with your look and how versatile you are. With their experienced staff, they
will be able to visualize you with the makeup and clothes they want. Hence,
your photographs should be very simple, with simple colored clothing and very
minimal makeup (Some foundation and mascara at the most).
What you should work on is showing off your body with
different poses. Using a regular Smartphone camera (You are a model who wants
to make money; you are not expected to take professional studio quality shots
on your own yet), try various poses and at various camera angles (Top-down,
Bottom-up, side etcetera). Have at least one full body, half body, and face
shot. The background of the photo should also be simple (A white wall would
work best), and should not interfere with your natural look.
Ace
your interview
The same philosophy of simplicity can be applied to
your interview as well. Your most important accessory is your confidence.
Minimal makeup and solid colored clothing is the best outfit to wear to the
interview. Neat, thick and luscious hair helps; you definitely want to avoid
frizz, so use a small amount of pomade to keep the stubborn ends in check.
Smile whenever possible, and be confident during your interview. Show your
passion for modeling by naming some of the models you look up to, and some of
the poses you have learned on your own. That alone should suffice for the
agency to choose you. Ultimately they are not looking for a finished package,
but rather someone with the potential for development.
Upkeep
your health and beauty towards your interview date
Be very mindful of what you eat, your sleep hours and
general health and wellbeing. Good tips from models would be to moisturize your
skin, condition your hair and wash your face regularly (2 to 3 times a day is
adequate, over washing isn’t good as well). Avoid fast food and alcohol, and
drink plenty of water (8 glasses minimum). Of course, the duration you should
maintain this lifestyle is for as long as possible and time taken to see
effects vary among people, but you should lead this lifestyle at least a week
before your interview if you want to make a good impression.
In general, go organic with your food and beauty
products. The natural products will give your skin a natural glow that is what
a Singapore modeling agency is
seeking for, anyone can wear makeup, but a model should strive to go an extra
mile above a common person in terms of maintaining one’s natural looks.
Conclusion
Just like how a concrete foundation is a base for the
tallest skyscraper, a well-established impression and relationship with the
modeling agency plays a pivotal role in whether you make it or break it.
