Video Transcript

"Hi! I'm Holly Olson on behalf of Expert Village. I'm going to talk about casting calls for runway shows. When you first arrive, you most likely stand in line with a lot of other models and when it is your turn to fill out a release or information page with your contact information. Usually they will write down their name on the back of the page so that they know who you are when they take your picture. It is important when you stand for your picture to have a nice presentation. So I want my model to go ahead and face me here. You want to be sure that one foot is in front, good shoulders back and they'll have you hold your page up with your name almost like a little bit of a mug shot and you'll have your picture taken quickly. Don't think you have time to pose because that is all they are going to do and send you on your way. "
