Alba is there to help models make informed decisions when it comes to modelling such as whether or not you are right for the industry. Help you look into the character of a model and how to really make your personality speak volumes.
All models must be outgoing and of good nature, patient and have common sense. You must have the ability to apply that common sense as well as a strong happy personality which will withstand the demands of the job. Resilience, good health and fitness plus the mental ability to cope with rejection IS ESSENTIAL at all ages. All models must have the knack within them to SAY NO if or when they do not want to do something they are asked to do, which may not be in line with your beliefs, religion or principles. Be strong and stand by them, even when under pressure and the threat of not being assigned the work. Never give into pressure to indulge in drink or drugs.
Those that do have the attributes necessary or the foreseeable promise of them must realise that modelling is hard work and very competitive. It can be very boring and time consuming standing around at castings and auditions amongst hundreds of other beautiful people all wanting the same job. Models are expected by their agency to attend castings, and it can be upsetting to see and hear of other models getting paid work when either you or your child has not. I have known many models who have attended over 30 auditions and castings and still not have had one assignment, and it can been very upsetting and also an expensive outlay if you have to travel to the casting. This is why most of the novice models live in or our a short train journey away from London or the other fashion cities throughout he UK such as Manchester.
Understanding your character and personality is a vital step into becoming a model.
