Alpha Model Group DevelopmentWhat Does Alpha Model Group look for in our talent?
BEAUTY - The subjective beast. There are many types of beauty. As an agency (Alpha Model Group) we sometimes see what others may not. We have seen many "plain" looking models make a lot of money, and gorgeous ones not a dime. Beauty is not just how well you look on the outside, but how well you take care of the inside. The key is individuality, and uniqueness. Along with beauty however, just having the look or image a client is trying to project is really the key.
CONFIDENCE - Clients look for talent who are self-assured and whom they believe can sell their products. A model must be able to sell them selves. Not to be a confidence buster, but this is a numbers game and you will be rejected for assignments. It is important to be able to handle rejection and to prepare yourself for it. No one model can be everything to every client.
AMBITION - Models go after goals. You cannot get work sitting at home waiting for clients to knock on your door. Modeling is YOUR business. The exposure program teaches you how to market yourself, sign with other agencies, etc. We want to be PART of your modeling career; we don't want to BE your modeling career.
PROFESSIONALISM - A professional is someone who's there to do a job to the best of their ability, always remembering they provide a service for others. You are there to do a job - not to be adored.
COMPETITIVE - A model must understand that this is a competitive environment and will promote him/her self without harming those around them.
ENTHUSIASM - If modeling bores you, why do it? Enthusiasm is contagious. It can light a fire in a Photo Shoot and make products or clothes come to life.
RESPONSIBLE - Many tasks and duties may be assigned and it is the Talent's responsibility to complete the booking assignments fully and to the best of their ability.
STAMINA - A model must be able to stand on their feet all day, and still look good.
PATIENCE - Success will not happen overnight. You must be willing to work hard to see a return on your investment.
