over the appropriate dress and discuss what you need to wear when meeting
agents and going on castings. We will be sending a “What to Bring/Where to

Health and Fitness: We all need to be aware of our bodies, what we put
in them and how we take care of them so we stay in great shape. Some areas of
the modeling and acting world have high expectations for keeping in shape.
Model Moves ™: These are techniques Shawn has developed over the
many years that she’s work both in front of and behind the camera. She breaks
it down to make it easy to learn and works with a seasoned fashion/commercial model so you can follow along. Everyone is up and taking part in movement in front of the camera-this is where you learn how to begin building a
repertoire. As a bonus you get to take a Model Moves DVD home.
Grooming: We’ll talk about haircuts, hair color, eyebrows, manicured nails,
waxing, being impeccably groomed overall. Maintenance is an important part
of the equation for models, actors. Every part of you must be flawless and you
have to create a look that is industry appropriate.

Walk this Way: Great posture and an elegant walk with a shining presence is what we’re looking for. Your walk and the way you stand says a lot
about who you are. Whether you are walking down the runway of a fashion
show or into a boardroom, you need to able to stand out.

will shoot two different looks and this will be the time you can put your
