alkaiden SG

Marco_Simone SG

hang around orchard road and wait for scouts to approach you.

That was what happened to me but I rejected them outright coz I think I am not very handsome leh.

alexkusu SG

where got they look at face one? if u fit body requirements enuf liaw.. some models good figure but not pretty face right? Mr. Green

Marco_Simone SG

For me,models should have a good face.I have an above average bod but my face is average only,so I don't think I cut it la.

FireIce SG

alkaiden SG

Marco_Simone SG

Ya,I heard also.That was why I rejected them.

klishcia SG

I got approach by one grp before and they hand me a namecard. It seems like they are trying to recruit ppl cos they are giving to anyone they see. You want to be model, go to modelling agency and ask.

Ito_^ SG

sinicker SG

my friend is a model. his mum make him enter modelling agency. now, he wear pretty odd clothes for a 19-yr-old and spends S$200+ on clothes monthly.

and girls add him like crazy on friendster! i think he is on his 7th fster account now.

chunyong SG

models body cannot too powderfull….pects cannot too big but abs must be defined and symmetric, delts must be defined also… high trapezius is a no-no…if u overtrain dat part there goes ur career…

alfagal SG

Jus go surf webbie, and find out more bout e agency lor..

most prob they will ask u to send in a pix of urself, stats etc...

then will ask u go for interview..
even if u dun have height or stats, they will analyse on case by case basis..
eg having nice face wld b good for photoshoots, a good frame for runways..etc.

however there will always b hidden costs:
eg. portfolio, package, lessons (basic n advance catwalk trainings)...to enter e agency

so there is no cheap way to enter a agency unless u are really perfect.

u can try, but no one guarantees u a success in this line..

got a point, im nt intending to turn pro or somethin. just do as a part-time thing to hav some xtra cash...coz some of my frenz say i can go try, and some ask if im model...so watever jz do for fun while im still young

alfagal SG

well, jus to let u know...

competition is v stiff here in SG. so many wld b v willing to go paid-less.
if u r looking for money, then prob u wldnt earn alot. unless u are real good.

good that u take it as a sideline, cos pay doesnt come on time. sometimes, cant even get back. or...u will go hungry..

there are many stuff u need to buy to upkeep ur appearance, e basic clothings that u need for auditions etc. so...u'd already need to spend even before u enter e biz. recovery of ur 'losses' will take time

cheers
