Has anyone seen how Latitude Talent Works in NYC? 

Anyone looking to become a model is immediately wondering what are the best and real ways to get started as a model in New York. You have a couple of options, either find an local photographer to blow money on (not the best idea unless you know what you are doing) or seek out a talent agency to get representative. Unless you are the 5% of talent that actually have the exact look for a modeling agency, you are going to have to start working from the bottom up to get started.
Latitude Talent has some amazing reviews for a reason, one of them is best the cost factor to start with Latitude is not only extremely, extremely affordable, it’s is a legit service to help steer you in the right direction.
Any model or actor that says getting started is as easy as contacting a local agent who will do all the work for you is lying (and isn’t a signed model.) Why would any one invest money in a person who has no experience? Anything worth having is worth investing in.
Latitude Talent Studios is one of the best companies to work with as a model or actor. Check out Latitude Talent reviews and learn how it works!

The Real Cost to Become a Model

There are so many articles online that claim to help you become a model, the problem is that most of the information is out-dated and written by people who have no real industry experience.
Many claim as a new model, you should never have to pay for your own marketing. Not only is this flat out wrong, it hurts those who have real potential from investing in themselves. This rumor was started in the 1980’s when a modeling agency would cover all expenses to start, then recoup them after a booked job. Some agencies will front these cost to select talent however, most will have to invest in themselves, especially when just starting out.
With the rise of digital media, models are paid less and this has caused agencies to have various fee’s they pass along to the models.
In this article, we discuss the things that new models must invest in, versus what is a waste of money.

Head Shots
These are a must for any model or actor. Without professional photography, it will be very hard to land casting calls. For every one casting call, there are literally hundreds if not thousands of people applying for the same casting.
To stand out, you must have real photographs, however you do not need to spend thousands of dollars on them.
Comp Cards
In the past, comp cards were printed out and mailed, now they are digital in most major markets like New York or Miami. Comp cards are hard to generate on your own. Many agencies and companies such as Latitude Talent Studios have software to help generate comp cards on demand.
Marketing
You can try to model yourself and build your brand, but there are so many models doing it, so its easy to get lost in the mix. Getting help from a talent marketing service is worth it if you are trying to become a model.

How to Avoid Modeling Red Flags – Never Accept a Check for an Audition

How to Avoid Modeling Red Flags – Never Accept a Check for an Audition

In the modeling industry, there are many red flags that aspiring models and actors need to look out for. A common red flag, one of the oldest in the books, is a “photographer” sending a check, usually for $5,000 for a job before you booked or even auditioned for anything in person.
They will then ask you to cash it for them at your bank, and send them the money. Only then do you find out it was a fake check and you are left with the overdraft balance.
Over the past years, this has become harder and harder to spot because the scammer is stealing names of legitimate industry professionals. They can now, hijack email domains to make you think you are speaking with the real deal.
To avoid this common scam remember this; NEVER accept a check before you completed the job. It often takes weeks to get paid from an audition.
NEVER speak to these people on WhatsApp, or use apps to transfer money. It is common sense, but many newer inexperienced models can fall for it. As a talent, you should always due your homework, however many often do not until it is too late.
At Latitude Talent Studios, our talent are always number one. We are a trusted brand to help models and actors or all experience levels get started.
