Yes. As an agency, we accept all sizes. To be transparent, most modeling clients will request models 5’7” and up and actors of all sizes.
What do you recommend to someone who needs to build a quality portfolio?
We recommend either investing and paying a professional photographer to shoot your portfolio or doing free test shoots with local photographers.
How should one go about getting experience in acting/modeling so that they are marketable?
Take classes, participate in local film or theater programs, work with local creatives to help build your skill. Participate in as much as you can to tone your craft!
Are models under 5’7” marketable?
Models under 5’7” will have to have very strong portfolios because most clients request models over a certain height. That’s why we recommend working with as many local creatives as possible to get a diverse and strong portfolio book.
Can I register if I am under 18?
You have to be 18 and up to register.
How long does it take to get paid from bookings?
