What model agencies are best to go with? how can i get discovered??

Im 15 and i really wanna get discovered as a model . is there any modeling agencies for teens in the chicago ?

• Answer:

  I am not sure where there are REPUTABLE modeling agencies in Chicago, but I am sure there are many. Just a word to the wise: If any firm asks you to pay them for listings, they are probably not on the up-and-up. You will be required to prepare a portfolio of photo shots, information on yourself, and the type of modeling jobs you will be interested in. Also, modeling agencies usually look for girls who are tall and very thin - also either very good looking, or expressive in some offbeat manner. There are lots of good looking thin teens around, so you need to be able to offer something special for the agencies. Also, be careful, many young models are exploited in every way you can imagine. So trust nobody! Finally, most (99+%) of models' careers end within a few years; so be certain to maintain your studies and get enough education and training to hold a non-modeling career after you are put out to pasture, as you most certainly will. So, don't drop out of school, no matter what the temptations are.
