Whoa. You LITERALLY responded to a question I had been wondering about and was planning to ask an agency that is asking me to be my mother agency to try placing me in other agencies across the globe as the market in my country is extremely small. Thank you so much. Funny when I was talking to my mom about this I used $1000 as an example as well, the coincidence! I was trying to understand if both the agencies would deduct commission.
I was searching for exercises on how to make my torso and legs longer but I find this more interesting and entertaining than that. I soooo love you videos! 💖
The idea will increase ur engagement🤞.....tho it'll allow people(us) enjoy like 2 seconds of fame being responded to on ur Channel😂...I think som questions or approach myt b personal🤔....
Hey so this modeling coach told me I needed a comp card with a range of different poses, looks, and facial expressions so are you sure just a headshot and body shot would be just enough? I’d think with the portfolio book you wouldn’t need to include all those.
Hey man, I love your channel! All your videos are so helpful. I’m actually from Chicago rn too and study acting at Columbia Chicago just like you did! I’m an aspiring model. I plan to go to a few open calls to some agencies here in Chicago on Monday. Can you help me with which agencies you’d recommend me to go see? I have no model experience, but I do have a portfolio with multiple pictures and headshots of myself.
Natalie. I am starting a talent consultant/ modeling agency. I love your youtube channel. Your information is helpful. I would love to get in contact with you to ask more questions. I am in New York City.
I’ve always been told by everyone around me that I’m very attractive and I should model. I also have photographer friends who say I have the perfect face for it etc. I’ve sent photos to some agencies and I haven’t heard anything from them. Does this mean I haven’t got the right look for it? Or should I keep on trying?
I want to start a model agency, there's no fashion industry where I live, so I want to bring something fun for the girls in the area, and also find talent to develop as a mother agent. I wouldn't charge them anything (besides the 10 to 15%), so I need another job to take care of those costs. The thing is, I have no connections.
I just got scouted by a NY agency but they are not a big agency, they are small, very new. Meanwhile I also got scouted in my hometown In Austin Texas. They want to be my mother agency and help me signed with bigger agencies in LA and NY. All their models are signed with big agencies. What should I do??? Should I go with the small agency or the one in my hometown? Please help, what do you recommend?
Great topic!. thank you very much. I really watch your videos now because I'm new model who have been sign to a career model. I'm wondering because I haven't started yet. I'm trying to grow my Instagram; research on my own to find a job as a model. My contract is like yours ( exclusive) because I'm allow to sign with other agencies. I follow you on Instagram and I would like to DM you to ssk you some modelling questions because I'm still new to it.
Thanks for posting, much more clear idea on this 😊.However I got a question, if you could answer it will be great! I am located in the UK and signed in the UK, but I got in contact with a MOTHER agency in USA, Am I able to get signed in there knowing I live in the UK, because they have to develop you and stuff and I am far?
Hi Francis, can you apply to more than one agency when starting out? And if one agency signed you can you still search and apply for other agency’s in different city’s / country’s ? (If you have an non-exclusive contract of course)
Hey bro huge fan if your channel. I wanna be a model but I have tattoos I'm pretty sure tattoos aren't uncommon but what about in the high fashion industry
Overall this was a good video; however, there's actually one point you raised that's not actually correct. When a Mother Agency places you with another agency in another market and that agency charges you 20% that 20% is actually SPLIT 50/50 between the agencies! So the agency in the other market gives the MA 10% and they keep 10% it's NOT 20% twice.
Hey signed Exclusively to an LA agency and nothing. They've sent me on a few casting but they are not pushing me. I believe its time to move on what should I do? Make a vid about that. Lol.
Hey Francis, I think im 189cm tall but Whats the most eye catching height agency's preferred for male modeling as an fashion/editorial model 187,188cm (6'2) or 189cm (6'2 1/2) tall ??😀 just need your opinion man lol thanks
Hi! I don't want to waist your time, but I have have an important question.I'm european and I would like to modeling in NYC.Soo my question is: Should I write to an agency online and send them a few picture about me or should I visit to NY and have a meeting.And what if they'll like me and want to work with me? (I'm not egoist, but could be an option too) What about the green card?
Hey man I’m 14 and I wanna become a future model actor . I wanna know if I should start my portfolio now and begin acting and models gigs around my town. I want to start now but I don’t know if it’s the right choice. I look older than I am ,around 17 and I am a good looking guy.
Hi Bryce, you can start building your portfolio now as a model, but it might be difficult for you to get a lot of work until you’re 17 or 18, but its worth a shot
Not really, some mother agents get their percentage from the agency they put u in and not from you, it means if you get 60% it will stay the same and your mother agency will take 10% or 20%from the 40% the agency took
Hey, you are doing amazing videos. But you mentioned that the models which are having a mother agency have to pay two agencies. This is actually not true. A mother agency only receives 10% commission from the agency where they are placing their model. An agency takes 20% from the models gross earning and receive also 20% from the client. The 20% ,which they will receive from the client will be split to 10/10 -> so 10% will get the foreign agency and 10% the Mother Agency. The Mother agency will not receive any percentage from the 20% , which will be deducted from the gross earnings from the model. For example, in Paris, London, Milan the model commission is much higher, but the mother agency will receive nothing, they will only receive the 10% from the clients commission.
Hi Fresh pepper,how are you? I'm in touch with a mother agency and they want to place me with elite Paris But in the Contract,they say they will get 20% for direct booking,10% for others,and they will get from bonus too.what Do you think?
I need answers like yesterday! I am with a Mother Agency whom, after auditioning for IMTA and was accepted, is now requesting $600 for a registration fee and $3600 for the trip w/o travel, boarding and food expenses=$5000. Is this legitimate????
I have never had any modelling experience before...but I have always found it to be very interesting... I really want to pursue a career in Modelling...so would u mind helping me 2 clear some of my doubts?...actually a lot of my doubts!!! 1. Do I need to have an account on any social media platform?...I am asking this bcoz I have been looking up for some agencies on Google & they asked me 4 IG username in their application forms. .(I run a fan ac on IG.. it doesn't have any pics of mine..so it doesn't even count) 2. I am interested in moving to Australia..so I wanna apply for an Australia-based modelling agency...does it make me too much ambitious? 4. How does the commission fees work for an agency?...& also the tax system..I mean if I work in Australia, do I need to pay tax in both Australia & my country? 3. How do I start...do I start filling out application forms from multiple agencies based in Australia along with sending them my pictures...because there's no guarantee that if I apply for only one agency, they will select me...I am not drop-dead-gorgeous looking person)...so I don't even know on what basis I can argue with my parents or convince them into letting me out of their shell & go to Australia...& even if I do get selected (the chances of it happening are as low as finding a needle in haystack, but still I want to give it a shot), would the agency help me to fly across the country by paying for my airplane fare & help me to get to their agency?... I am sorry I have too many stupid doubts ,,,but I am genuinely interested in Modelling, so I have all these doubts circling around my head 24 X7..pls help me to get rid of them. Also pls tell me which points do I need to pay attention to while signing a contract...!...Sorry for bothering u with this long essay.
if you need to be a model and make good cash then send tylerjonse01 @ gmail . com a mail, he makes great models out of regular girls, good thing is that you don't need the banging body if you have a pretty face then you can model as a face brand but if you have all the features you have more opportunities . i made $400 for just a shoot
Pls I have a question. I'm from nigeria can I just contact an international model agency like IMG models and u know kind of them help me and do my working visa if they want me is DAT allowed
Hi Allison, there are different types of modeling as I explained in this video th-cam.com/video/699XwSvR9bY/w-d-xo.html , you don’t meet the height requirements for high fashion modeling which is what everyone usually go for, but there are other types of modeling (i.e commercial print, petite modeling etc) that don’t have a strict height requirement. If you really want to model I’d suggest looking for agencies that represent those other categories. After all Kate Moss is 5’6 and she was still able to make her dream happen. Good luck
Hey, I really like your videos and your channel! Very informative 😃 I have a question, during this whole quarantine situation how should one apply to agencies? I’m not sure if I should use my phone to take my headshots since photographers aren’t available. Thanks for your help
I was rejected by elite models several times before getting signed. I finally got a recommendation from a model represented by them and the agent agreed to meet me in-person.
@@FreshPepper Thank you so much for your answer! It's my first time receiving a model contract, and after seeing this video I realised that it's too high so I guess I'm not going to sign it
Hello I’m n NC I want to become a model but I wanted to no where could I sign up at. I really wanted to get started I wanted to no if u could reach out to me asap I’m so tired of waiting lol..
im 5'3 do you think i still have a chance to still become a model and second, I'm having troubles to get an agency or find an agent do you have some tips and advice?
check out this video th-cam.com/video/699XwSvR9bY/w-d-xo.html it will help you explain why you haven't found an agent. Try other categories of modeling, don't go for runway/high fashion
I'm becoming a model soon (or at least trying) and your videos are SUPER helpful tysm❤
i just got signed to a mother agency & this video is super helpful! thank you!:)
Congratulations! 👏🏾Glad it was helpful!
How is it going now
Did they charge you?

Lol that’s hilarious. Some agencies split the 20% commission so make sure you check the contract.
As I figured when I started to read through the comments. Will definitely check. Thanks again

Does your agency pay for everything?

The contract will tell you. And it will inform you about what the consequences of breaking a contract is. If not, ask
I have a doubt. Is img a mother agency?🤔🤔🤔
Nope they are not a mother agency they are the biggest agency in the world. You’re lucky if you get signed with them.
Is height really matter? If I'm short, can I be a model?
Is now a good time to apply to agencies as they prepare for fashion week?
Hi Ozioma, yes this is a great time actually. Typically Jan - early April is ideal
Do you wear eye concealer for some jobs?
