Video Transcript

"So what does it take to actually run modeling as a business? Because you know, modeling like any other business in the world requires tools to be successful. And at W Talent we make sure that all of our girls and gentlemen have the tools to be successful in the business of modeling. We'll provide for you what we call a composite. A composite is a card stock piece of paper, half of a 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper, and on the front we have what we call a head shot. Head shot is usually full front, nice smile, exactly the way you're going to look when you go to see a client. Then on the back what we do is, provide your statistics, height, weight and measurements. And also we give a couple different looks of how you might be used in advertising. Couples, life-style, fashion, beauty, and cruise; this is perfect. This is actually one of the best comps that I've seen, and of course our beautiful girl. Then if you're going to be a serious actor or actress, we have what we call a head shot. A head shot provides a casting agent with exactly what you look like, so they can remember who you are, after you've done an audition. At W Talent, we shoot these, and we provide them for all of our development people."
