Model Casting Call
What should I expect at a open model casting call?
I'm going to a Wilhelmina model open casting call this Saturday. I would like to know what i should expect? What should i wear? What types of questions will i be asked? Any opinions/answers will be greatly appreciated!
They don't really ask questions at an open call, maybe just your name and age.
If it's a huge open call, you could be with up to 5000 other people. If it's a huge open call, you might be pre-screened when you arrive and they will turn away anyone who is not at least 5'8". If you make it through that screening, you'll probably be brought in groups of 10-20 in front of a panel of agents. The agents will then usually dismiss all but the 1-3 people they think have potential. The agents know within 2 seconds if you have the look or not. Then they will ask you to walk back and forth, measure you (if they don't think you are 34-24-34 plus or minus an inch), possibly take a Polaroid/digital picture, then dismiss you. If it's really crowded, they won't bother measuring you or watching you walk as there won't be enough time.
Then after the open call, the agents review everyone and will call those who they want to see again.
But this all depends how many people are there. If only 20 people show up, then you would be called one-on-one or in smaller groups to go before the panel.
My old agency would get anywhere from 20-500 people at our weekly open calls, so the structure really depended how many people showed up, and how many actually had potential.
