Although not applicable always, an actor's career generally begins with modeling assignments. Therefore, the genesis of the word combination acting modeling is appropriate in the sense that both careers are interrelated to some extent at least. Models can be found featured on magazine covers, newspapers, billboards, posters, ads, and even on the packets that your grocery store provides. These models earn anything between $25 and $250 per hour.
These models can have very sharp features making them look drop dead gorgeous or they may even look like the next door friendly guy. The main motive of models is to present a face that people find attractive so as to sell a particular product. But for most of these models, modeling is not the end but is only a step-up to an acting career.
But the acting modeling world is highly competitive. In addition to a great face, you need a good agent to get you into the acting modeling world.
So here are some steps that will help you in the search for and the selection of a good agent and thus a successful entry into the acting modeling career.
The first dilemma that you face is to know where to find an agent. For this, you can search various local theaters and ask the actors there if they know of any agent or is there any agent available who represents them. Secondly, you can visit some photo studios and ask the photographers there if they know any good agent. Photographers are in constant touch with the modeling world, so they can find for you the right person. Another option also worth trying is a signatory agent. They are licensed agents, who are very professional in their approach.
After the search for agents is over, the next step is the selection of the one agent that you need. For this, you should do some background research on the various agents. If possible, ask their previous employers about their performance. After this, you should take a good look at their offices. Look carefully as to whether they have all the requisite things that an agent generally needs to have.
Also, one of the most important aspects to remember in the selection of an agent is the comfort level and the communication between you and the agent. These aspects prove crucial in deciding the pattern of growth of your career.
Agents can well prove to be a decisive factor in the success or failure of your getting into an acting modeling career. Acting modeling is a career that has become very competitive so you cannot afford to be casual in the search for and the selection of an agent.
