Interested in becoming a model? Not sure yet? Here is a list of frequently asked questions to help you decide whether or not you would like to take the next step:

|
What are the height, weight, age, (etc.) requirements?
Our clients generally seek a very diverse portfolio. Casting calls could range from something on the side of "glamorous", to something on the side of "ordinary". Our models are not required to have a specific height, weight, or age. However, we do conduct a screening process to determine how well you photograph, and whether or not your look is marketable. For instance, if you have a small tattoo just above your eyebrow, we would probably not consider you for representation in this market.

| What type of modeling would I be doing?
Our models typically work on television commercials, print ads, and sometimes, promotional type work. We don't generally do runway work, and we never do anything pornographic.

| Am I guaranteed to get modeling jobs when I sign up with your agency?
Our team works hard to increase your visibility, and deliver you as a prospect, but the decision is never really ours. Therefore, just like modeling in all major U.S. cities, work is not guaranteed.

| Do I need a portfolio?
If you have one...great! However, most models starting out do not. Therefore, we will get you started with a comp card, and help you to build your portfolio.

| Do I have to sign an exclusive contract with New York Model Talent?
Yes...all of our contracts are exclusive. This is a standard practice in the industry, and for good reasons. First, it is typically more effective than putting yourself all over the internet. Secondly, most casting calls in the Rochester area require you to be affiliated with an agency or they won't even look at you. And lastly, your credibility is determined by your representation.
