How do I make it happen??

Posts: 2

I have wanted to become a model since I was knee high. I started to watch the victoria secret angels model on their annual fashion shows at tender ages. I idolized that career and lost weight to be able to be accepted in the modeling world. I practice my walk (after watching/studing different fashion shows) throughout the house and my facial expressions amost daily in every mirror I can find. Fashion shows and shows about models or dealing with modeling, (America's next top model, Australia's next top model, the tyra banks show, etc) I watch religiously. Around 04' I started lookin up different agencies. But being in Atlanta, there's nothing but commercial openings in my area. I found Barbizon Modeling/ Acting Agency. I had a interview and I had to show my walk and memorize/ recite a short script. I did both well. I was the first to be called back and they told me I was great and would be easily marketed. HOWEVER, they wanted me to take some classes which were around 4 grand..... As much as I would have sold my left leg to do it if it meant me becoming a model, I didnt have the money to give. And that opportunity passed me by... BUT I WANT THIS SO MUCH!!!!

If you are really confident about your look take headshots and full body shots of yourself and send them to more agencies near you and far away. Telling by your username you watch ANTM try and audition for that but if your hoping for a big career send them to agencies FIRST! I hope you do well! Very Happy
