I want to be a sideline reporter for ESPN when I graduate from college. But a friend of mine who used to work for ESPN said that its a very tough job to get and that I should probably get into modeling or something. I've been told I should be a model before, but always shrugged and went on with life. And now I learn that I pretty much have to in order to get my dream job. How do I start modeling? I'm 20...

Its hard. You almost have to be discovered. Go to a talent agency and try to get small jobs being extras in movies or commercials. After you get some head shots and a little expearience distribute your information to modeling agencies. Be persistant,confident and likable and you may have a fighting chance.

I have heard a lot of bad thing about SOME (not all) modelling agencies and how they make you pay for photos and photo sessions before they take you on then never give you any work. My advise to you is if you have a friend who is reasonable with a camera (do not have to be a professional) Just take 100 photos of yourself in different poses, clothing and backgrounds then pick out 10-20 nice photos. You can then use this as a portfolio, and even better instead of printing them which cost you money every time, host them on a website and get some business cards print with the website address on and just hand these out instead. This is a far cheaper way of doing it and with no RISK.
However if you would like a personal portfolio site please contact me and I will set you on up for free. I can design you a fully personalised flash website with as much or little information and then host it for you. This site can contain a gallery of your photos, personal information, list of work, contact details, etc or if you prefer just a couple of photos and nothing else. It can be password protected and all images will be protected as is humanly possible, or the photos can be available to download.
Examples of work can be provided on request. Just message me here if you want, I am a professional website designer but have lots of free time (and enough money) so I am currently doing free sites for small bands, small artist etc, basically anyone who could not afford them otherwise. I have my own hosting server so can offer hosting servers or you can host the site yourselves. No images sent to me will be used for anything other than your site and I will not give anyone your detail or link to the site. You will have complete control and the site can be removed or changed at any time. This is not a scam and I will design a site for FREE, I do not need the money, and enjoy working. If you do want it message me you can tell me what you want and how you want it done and I will help.

Look up a well known/established modeling/talent agency or attend a modeling school such as Barbizon. Barbizon teaches you a ton of stuff, and you can get recruited to be in a magazine, commericial, tv series, or calendar. That's how I got into Seventeen. It was great and I had a blast. When you attend... be yourself. The worst thing agencies or schools hate is someone trying to be something they're not. Good luck, hope this helps!!!

I would suggest Ford Modeling in New York, It is where Brooke Shields got her start. You might also try Elite in new york. I'd also order the modeling guide issued from the Federal Trade Commission ( www.ftc.gov ) It will assist you in discerning legitimate agencies and phonies.

Modeling Schools.
Find a good one with a good reputation, and invest in yourself. Learn the skills and techniques. Sign up for gig opportunities so you can practice the skills you learn. Develop your port folio. Network with others and other schools.
