The Cost of Modeling and Acting Professionally

The Cost of Modeling and Acting Professionally
To become a model or actor, it is like any thing in life; it takes hard work, willingness to learn, dedication and investment in yourself and the art of the craft. With so many articles written from people claiming to know the entertainment industry and how it “really works” it is important that correct and accurate information be available to those models and actors looking to start out.
Hard Work: It’s Not Easy
Anything worth it is not easy. Latitude Talent Studios was started to help new talent gain the tools and experience in entertainment. Traditionally, a new model or actor had only choice to get started: get signed by an agency.
The fact is, real talent agencies don’t want to work with new talent starting out and why would they? They earn a commission on projects you book so if you never book anything, they just wasted their time. Also, less than 5% of people are actually signed to an agency so the chances of landing a agent is very slim for starters.

Like anything – It’s never free
The modeling industry has changed a lot since the 1970’s when the rumor of “free modeling” started. This was when print and magazine ads were at an all time high and then agencies, like Ford Models and Elite would sign top models and pay for everything. That was also when a model could get paid “$10,000 a day” Name a model in 2019 that has their own lane in modeling.
Modeling has changed with Instagram and Social media taking reign. You as an actor or model should always expect to cover your own cost for modeling like web profiles and head shots however keep it cheap, anything that costs thousands of dollars is not worth it.
Don’t waste time if your not serious
It’s one thing to think about something, its another to actually do it. If your passion is modeling and acting, you actually have to be out there to try it. Sitting at home will get you no where. Also, be educated and research any company you submit your information too.

While it is common to believe that a modeling agency works for models, it’s main priority is to scout both commercial an editorial talent that match what an advertiser is looking for. An example is when Gucci a premier luxury brand is scouting for talent for an ad campaign, agencies will typically send a package of talent for the companies consideration. If the company chooses to book the talent they are paid 20% from the client being the brand and then collect another 20% from the model. While a good looks may seem to please agencies, they are only scouting for books that can book them work.

Because of this they can be is increasingly difficult for new models or actors to find open casting calls, especially in a market such as New York City.

While many talents believe attending an open call in person is the best chance for success, it should be the last option a model or actor takes as attending will create a lasting impression. Regardless of whether you find success in the future and agency will always remember when you first come in so it is best to only attend when you are ready.

The last thing in agency wants is a piece of paper or a home printed photo that is not professional. While it doesn’t create the best impression, it typically is not usable for an agency to be able to market you out. Talent should always do their homework and come prepared to a casting call with a headshot work comp card to be seriously considered for a project. While this may be subject to change it is always best to reach out to the agencies directly before attending open call to make sure they are still holding it.
