What to expect at a casting call?

What should I expect at a casting call?

• I found out about a casting call in my area and i've always been interested in modeling so I decided to give it a shot. I don't have pictures or anything, but I was just wondering what to expect at a casting call.

• Answer:

  It all depends where it was announced and how many people will be there. You always need to bring pictures with you to any open casting call. If you don't have professional pictures then take a headshot and full body shot in either fitted clothing or a plain black bikini shot against a plain white wall (see Wilhelmina's site for photo examples) and be sure to write your name, stats (height, bust/waist/hips) and contact details on the back. These can be digital photos printed on photo paper If there are hundreds of people they may look at you, ask for your pictures, then tell you they'll be in touch if interested. If there are only a handful of people, they'll often want to watch you walk or measure you, then tell you they will contact you if they are interested
