Check with the Better Business Bureau in your area to find out if there have been complaints about the agency. Call Screen Actors Guild to see if the agency is registered with them, and if the agency is legitimate. If the agency asks you for fees, the agency is a fraud.

If this is a legitimate Modeling Agency and please make sure it is; ask for and check all references. They will guide you through your training.
Modeling is basically being a Mannequin. You must learn to walk as if gliding effortlessly, not stomping up and down like you see so many of the untalented women on the reality show do, and you have to stand as if you did not exist and that the clothes you are wearing are the only thing of importance, because that is true.
Do not let anyone touch you inappropriately, but many designers will have to put their hands all over you in order to fit clothes on you, assuming you will be a runway model. If you are a photographer's model, the photographer will be skilled and have to pose you, but should never touch you in an inappropriate manner.
Do not think you should ever be talked to or handled in a way that makes you uncomfortable and always speak, walk and talk with dignity. Good luck to you.

I've read all the other anwers and agree with every one of
them. A legit agency pays everything for you, including
head shots, some wardrobe, etc. You pay nothing. After
all, you're their new commodity and with the right groom
ing,
you can make them a lot of money. It's to their advantage
to put money into you if they really believe you can make it.
Always take someone to act as a body guard with you on
jobs and thoroughly check out this agency through the
local Better Business Bureau and through other legit
modeling agencies

Never pay a modeling agency. Legitimate Modeling Agencies pay you, when you book modeling jobs. They take their commission from the model bookings you get.
Model Search is not a legitimate modeling "agency."

Do not let them talk you into a 'portfolio' of photos taken by 'their photographer'. They will charge you hundreds of dollars for photos and 'modeling classes' to teach you how to stand, sit and walk. These are RIP OFFS.
If they are legit, and want to represent you, they will take the photos free.
Remember to ALWAYS take another person to the photo shoots. That person should be one who will NOT let them convince you to do nude photos. If they won't allow your representative in the studio (esp if that person promises not to interfere with the actual photography) then they are suspect. If you've ever seen the Tyra Banks show, she regularly does set-ups where models are called in, asked to undress, and they DO. Tyra then comes out and tells these girls how dangerous it really is.

Congratulations! If they start asking you for money, be weary of their company. Try and research the agency.

I doubt they would not settle for you because of an ear gauge if each and every thing else regarded sturdy. do not difficulty, once you're particularly sufficient to kind and they don't desire you to be with an ear gauge they are going to stumble on a thanks to make it unnoticeable.
