How to become a Supermodel!!

 

 A lot of people want to be a model because it's glamorous, sexy, lucrative and you might want to be recognized in the modeling world. Modeling is extremely competitive, and the industry is filled with rejection, but successful models are doing something that they love. Here are some major truths about becoming a model, as well as some realistic advice to make it happen for you.

1Take care of yourself! Features indicative of good health are a must. 

• Focus on keeping your skin clear and glowing.
• Shiny and healthy hair is important. Some agencies and Managers prefer the "natural greasy look" so if you prefer to minimally shower that is okay too.
• Fitness is important. Consider working with a trainer who works specifically with models. Tell them your modeling goals and how you aspire to look. Tell them how you feel and your opinions.

2.Decide what kind of model you hope to be. Technically, anybody can be a model. However, do remember that if you don't meet certain requirements, the work available to you will be incredibly limited, and you may have to compensate in other departments (reliability, technique, etc).

• A Plus Size Model: If your body is full and curvaceous, you may be able to be a plus size model.
• A Runway Model: Most women on the catwalk are at least 5'6, very skinny, and small-breasted. Men are mostly between 5'11 and 6'2. Except this does not quite fully pertain to Victoria's Secret models.
• A Print Model: Most editorial female models are at least 5'7, but a beautiful face with great personality are really important for print models.
• An Underwear Model: For women, this requires large breasts but small hips. For men this requires broad shoulders but slim waists.
• Other Types of Modeling: If you don't fit any of the face or body descriptions, perhaps you can be a foot, hair, or hand model. There's also the option of being an alternative model.
• Consider your "look". There is more of a curvy California look, a svelte New York look, a waif- like European look, girl next door, swim suit or lingerie (usually requires the bust to fill out the suits and a very thin waist)... Know what you're equipped with, but also work to pull off other looks. Also get perfume that suits you if you put oil on your hands for 5-10 minutes makes you have soft hands.

3.Educate yourself. There is a lot you can learn from reading books and articles on modeling. Reading quality guides, articles, and books will both help you to improve important skills (like posing) and to better understand how the industry works (how to find an agent, etc.).

• Realize that it's tough. The modeling world is jam-packed with pretty faces. Just because you are good looking does not mean that you can succeed as a model. In the modeling business, it is not just about looking great. You have to fit the want or need of specific jobs just in order to get a chance. Modeling is only for serious people who carry unique looks and characteristics. Since there are so many people trying to become models in today's world, it will be very challenging to get a breakthrough and will only come through patience and perseverance.
• Realize a model does not have to be like a supermodel, however with a lot of effort you may reach that supermodel status! One of the most important thing to remember is to never be shy and don't apologise if you mess up! Yes, some models tend to act "stuck-up" and "overly confident" but as long as that makes you feel good, go ahead! Be yourself, and remember-act! Modeling requires alot of acting skills so have a little attitude in yourself.

 

4.Come Prepared- If you’re unprepared and disorganized, chances are you will not get the job. If you want to be a model, get everything ready and get organized.

5.Get a Portfolio- If you dont have one, get one!! A portfolio is your resume, you will not get any solid work without one!

 6.Headshot- Search around for a good photographer. To be a model, you need a great headshot to showcase you look the best!

 

7.Be Comfortable- To learn how to be a model, you need to stay comfortable in your own skin! Self confidence will shine through you as you pose. Practice in the mirror!
