Fitness is the first thing you must consider. It is the same for female modelling, only that there are also a lot plus size female models coming up and making waves these days. The first thing that you have to do is hit the gym with discipline. A good body will give you the upper hand when you go to a casting. Another thing you have to do is look out for a reliable agency, one which will give you the platform to model. This means that you have to do your homework to enhance your chances of getting only the right agency. You need to always have it at the back of your mind that there are many companies out there ready to use you and dump you afterwards, with little or no payment even after an assignment. The Models Direct team sometimes hear horror stories and only work with trusted clients to ensure that high standards are maintained. If you're looking for an agency, ask around and visit companies in person before settling on any one option. Male modelling is not the same as that of women. You do not have to show up with a portfolio and have experience, in many cases. The only thing you need to have is the required look.
