Finding True Talent
Finding true talent that is ready for the world of modeling is not as hard as it sounds. True talent is hidden in many places including malls, grocery stores, behind a desk or walking across the street. No that street is not always in New York. At any moment a talent management company or modeling agency may find a true modeling or acting talent.
Not all of our favorite models or actors went to school to study and mold their craft. Many were discovered as a true talent while living their life not thinking about being approached by a talent management company. A talent management or talent agency is always actively looking for the next big thing. That is their job. Being approached by a talent scout or talent management professional should not be a turn off. Really they are not going to approach just any one. A person approached by a talent management company has to have “it”. What that “it” is can vary.
Here are some key items a talent management company looks for when looking for new talent.
1. A distinct look. Exotic, tall, vibrant, or an international look.
2. A commercial look. Top brands need models that relate to the majority of their buyers.
3. A bright personality. A modeling agency focusing on entertainment needs personalities.
4. A strong presence. A strong presence that pulls attention to you is powerful.
5. A healthy look. Fit, beautiful hair or shining teeth are all a big plus in modeling and acting.
Finding a true talent in the masses takes time and work. They are not always going to walk into a talent management agency. Most big talents are discovered by a talent agency that sees something in them that the person may not of even know was there.
A current modeling talent with Tru Talent Management by the name of Anyela provided her insight into what it takes to become a model.
“I think in my perspective what it takes to be a good model is the learning ability and intelligence, self confidence, good organization skills, a healthy body and lots of get-up-and-go! Not everyone is born a model, they have to work for it and achieve that part of their career. A model that is comfortable in setting goals and not afraid to go after them with an aggressive determination.
Attitude in a model is important as well to set them into a character of advertisement. They are to show many angles of different moods. In every shot they take they have to be in the mood to sell to the fashion industry, and to be a hit in the modeling media.
The model has the ability to represent them into a fashion icon when they are walking down the stage. They are changed into character a couple times a day. For every photo shoot they take they are put out there for an advertisement to represent a product and sell themselves and the merchandise.
A model is set to look good, he or she is determined to be fit and be healthy, to also be a role model for the rest of us who are watching. They’re a fashion icon that is moving around rotating roles and lifestyles. They represent high fashion, haute couture and even just a simple catalog. The truth is that without them we wouldn’t be able to see what we could look like in clothes or with other merchandise out there. Thanks to all the models out there they are beautiful in their ways and do their jobs that many of us wouldn’t be able to keep up with!”
