RECOMMENDED AGENCIES
Exxcel Models Dallas https://www.exxcelmodel.com/
The Campbell Agency Dallas https://www.thecampbellagency.com/
Entourage Model & Talent Houston/ Austin https://www.entourageagency.com/
These modeling agencies were hand picked for you:
Make sure to follow up on your application by emailing the agencies 2 to 3 weeks after you have applied. Attach your cover letter and resume to the follow up email.
There are additional modeling agency website links in the back of the Model Talent Guide that was downloaded with your pictures. Take a look at the websites. You can find out alot about an agency from the "about us" section and by looking at the model gallery. If any of the models resemble you, your look, your measurements, fill out the submission form and apply to those as well!
Tips for Applying to the agencies: Most agencies have their submission forms (applications) on their websites, search in the menu for links that say ‘Get Discovered’, ‘Apply’, ‘Become a Model’, etc. Make sure to read their instructions beforehand so you can have all the information they require plus the materials they want before you start applying. It shouldn't take you more than 5-10 minutes. Make sure to keep track of your applications. Make sure to always research the agency or client before applying and double check information before sharing your personal information with anyone.
Applying correctly with the most natural photos can make the difference.
Professional model scouts are looking for something different than you might expect. They don't want to see you in your fanciest outfit with lots of makeup on. They are looking for you at your most natural.
Have a clean face with light or no makeup. (look one from your photoshoot)
Pull your hair back or make sure your whole face is exposed and you are looking directly at the camera.
Wear a form fitting outfit. They need to see the shape of your body.
Look #1 from your photoshoot is a clean "blank canvas" standard look to apply with.
Always submit a headshot, full length shot and a third image if required.
Read the requirements and submit only what is asked for. If they ask for 3 images, submit a headshot, full length shot and a third image waist up or view from the side. Use your “web ready” images
We suggest sending an email with the cover letter and resume attached, 2 to 3 weeks after submitting. Following up is a professional way to showcase your different looks to the agency. This strategy is sure to impress, proves you are serious about modeling and shows a level of professionalism that will set you apart from everyone else.
Important! Follow every agency applied to on Instagram (tips for creating a successful model Instagram will follow the conference call)
These are the stepping stones to start your journey into modeling and on the call we will be discussing so many more important aspects of the modeling industry to further guide you.
Kind Regards,
