Hi Sophia! I was wondering what your best advice
for getting into modeling would be? I live
in Illinois and here there isn’t much opportunity.
I really love fashion and ever since I was little
I wanted to try modeling. -Taylor
Hi Taylor! Thanks for reaching out. I know
sometimes it can be tricky to learn the ropes
of the modeling industry, and how you can
start. The most important thing to keep in
mind before you start applying to agencies is
that it is not ever a piece of cake to get into
the entertainment industry- lots of patience,
persistence and practice is needed to do it,
but if you are willing to put in the work, I
know you’ll do amazing!
The first step is sending some applications
to local agencies. Search the web for agencies
near your town/city, and once you come
across one you are interested in, navigate the
site to find applications. Once you send in
your photos and basic information, just give
it time before you hear back. From there, it’s
very important to start practicing, attend
shoots, and market yourself on Instagram.
Once you have an agent, they should help
guide you as well.
Although an agent is helpful, you cannot
only rely on your agent to find you work. It’s
very important to put yourself out there, to
do photoshoots as much as possible, and
constantly be submitting to magazines. If
you can’t afford doing several shoots, that’s
okay- there are ways around it such as doing
tfp work, or even asking family/friends to
practice with you. After you receive photos
from shoots, you’ll want to take the best ones
and submit them for consideration in magazines.
Good luck and I wish you the best with
modeling!

Hey. I was wondering what your thoughts are
for dealing with bullying? I have been having
a bit of a hard time at school, and I really look
up to you so was wondering if you could help?
-Anonymous
Hi there. Dealing with bullying can for sure
cause feelings we don’t particularly want to
feel, and you can take my word because I’ve
been bullied before too. It’s tough, and it’s
something that takes courage to overcome.
If you are going through bullying, it’s really
important to know that you are not alone,
and there are several people that can help
you. Just to name a few, consider talking to a
parent, a close friend, teacher, coach, or even
myself. You can always reach out to the kids
help phone line anytime you need some support!
After you find the courage to reach out
to someone for help, I can promise they will
do everything they can to help you.
I want to thank you for your bravery and
courage for reaching out to me. If you need
anymore help or have any questions, please
let me know.
