Practical Tips For New Models - Modeling Classes

By Stefan Orenda

Modeling takes skill *SHOCK*! Yes it's true, a tight body and pretty face is not enough, if you want to go far you need to be able to actually perform.

Every segment of the modeling industry requires different skills and though there is always some crossover into Fashion, Commercial, etc. this article relates to Glamour modeling specifically. If you are getting into Glamour modeling (Sylk Magazine, FHM, Playboy, etc.) and you desire to learn the skills needed to take it all the way don't bother blowing your money on "modeling" classes.

Glamour is about personality and sex appeal as conveyed through attitude and movement. Much of what you need to be a good glamour model is already in you as a woman. The natural sexuality is in your genes, however some may just need help unleashing and refining it.

And finally, if you are looking to go far in modeling it is helpful to know about everything that goes on during a shoot including the what is happening behind the camera. Take a basic photography class at a community college or just get a book on the fundamentals. By knowing what the photographer is doing you can better learn to anticipate them making for a smoother more productive shoot.



 


A top glamour model needs to be able to invoke a reaction from her audience with a single look. A good way to learn how to convey various emotions through facial expression and body language is to take a basic acting class where you will learn characterization and improvisation. These acting skills can help you become the character you need to be to get the desired shot.

Another critical skill is movement. It does not matter how hot you are, if you look like a cardboard cutout in all your photos, looks will only get you so far. You need to know how to move your body gracefully and expressively and the best way to do this is through dance. Not that stuff you do in the club after 3 shots either. Take beginner classical dance lessons to learn to move gracefully and become more aware of your body.
