Male modelling aims at selling products to the male market, most of them being clothes. Companies want to work with reliable and attractive models to sell certain products to consumers around the world. Many cloth designers have been known to work with male models for the purposes of marketing communications. It is a lucrative job in many ways, and there are many male models around the world, apart from the celebrities. So, do you want to become one? Here are a few tips that will enhance your chances of becoming a professional male model.

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. The casting director will consider your height, weight and body type when making a decision. To find out more about modelling jobs and Models Direct, visit our other blogs and watch the video below.
Models Direct's parent company Talent Management received these fantastic reviews recently from Archie Dodd's mum and Jonathan Kumuteo who had modelling jobs in October!
"Archie really enjoyed his day modelling for Conway County Council, promoting an audio app for the castle and the church. Archie was working with a model family, who all bonded well - Archie particularly enjoyed running with Erin (his model sister) around the castle grounds. There was plenty of giggles and fun was had by all. Thanks Talent Management for a brilliant second assignment!

"Being an actor/entertainer for MediKidz in connection with Vision Express was an amazing and unforgettable experience. The most enjoyable part of the assignment was working with year two primary school kids and entertaining, teaching and informing them about eye care.
The assignment required myself and a group of 4 other talents to dress up as MediKidz super heroes and go into a primary school and teach/inform kids about eye health care and how it is important. I certainly gained a new profound knowledge and gained experience on this assignment and would recommend this type of assignment to anyone especially those who loves to work in groups and with children. Thanks to Talent Management for the great opportunity!
