Comments
activemum: After losing my job I have time and my kids always wanted to try modeling so we tried going to open calls at local agencies. They were so disorganized and didn't have a good client list. I tried this out to make sure we weren't wasting time. Now that I know we're on the right track, I've sent my girls' photos to regional and national agencies and got a call back just weeks later. It's fun but you need alot of patience! Good luck!
Mark: Thanks guys! I wasn't sure about the type of modeling to do and thought messing up would make me look stupid. Now I'm going to my first casting call.
Samantha: The best money I ever spent. I almost wasted $100's to find out if I could make it as a fashion model.
