If you are only interested in print modeling there is still a form of auditioning that happens in order for you to get the job and to sell the product or service.

I've gone on my share of auditions and I even auditioned for a reality show.
Here are some tips on how to secure a call back.
Make sure you standout I was recently at a audition and there were so many gorgeous women there from all nationalities.
I can honestly only recall a handful of them.
The ones I can remember all had distinctive features.
There was an older lady with gray hair, another one who was completely bald, and the last woman had an island accent.
Less is best Weaves and extensions are not new to Hollywood but are too mainstream because they are so acceptable and affordable now.
African-American women be careful of the lace front weaves and eyelashes trap.
You will not be the only woman in the room sporting that look.
You may want to think of another hairstyle.
Show your natural beauty.
Also blonds may have more fun, but you don't stand out if every Caucasian women there is blond.
Interview Auditions Give the casting director something different, unique and not cookie-cutter.
Always hear the silent "why" that may be missing.
If you say you love Mexican food be prepared to share why you love it.
Remember depending upon what time of day you go to your audition the casting director probably is probably bored out of their mind because they have already seen the same read from another actor.
So get creative and show off your range of talents.
Listen The casting director will tell you what they are looking for or give you a pretty good idea.
You are not paying attention if you deliver something totally different and that sends the message that you don't follow direction.
Wardrobe Make sure you get yourself into character and look the part.
If it calls for after five attire don't show up wearing business casual.
If you are unsure wear layers and bring some accessories so you can take away or add to your look.
It's better to have too much stuff than not enough.
Punctuality If you show or late for your audition, chances are you will show up late if you get the job.
So guess what? You will not even be considered.
