THE PREPARATION:
The first step to any modeling career is to have "The Goods" for the part:
 |
| Chris Evans |
a.) "Gwapo Face"
 |
| Marc Nelson |
b.) "Macho" Body
 |
| Hugh Jackman |
c.) "I'm Freaking Hot"
Aura
BUT!
"YOU CAN ALWAYS BREAK THE RULES, AND YOUR PACKAGE DEPENDS ON THE TYPE OF MODELING "
KEEP IN MIND:
When you're facing the camera, learn to put romance on projecting.
- If you're "panget" (ugly) you do jump shots, aside from it's cool effect, that'll hide your "pagkapanget" face as some photographers do advice this.
Getting amazed with your fellow male models is normal so don't be scared.
(note: That doesn't mean you're gay if you do. No one's perfect and we have our own envies and insecurities.)
"Pare baka isipin mo na bakla ako pero sa'tin-sa'tin lang, ang gwapo niya no? Sana ganyan din ako kagwapo para total package talaga"
If you don't have character, Add an impact, on the spot right away! Fix your posture, straighten your back, broaden your shoulders, then express through your face. Show your "fierce" look.

Try to touch your tongue to your throat, that will help define your jaw.

Usually, for the models who are going to walk on runway like for underwear show, they have to prepare for months that will show their concrete and well-formed bodies by going to the gym. They tend to workout their body everyday.

"DON'T FORGET!! BE SEDUCTIVE ON CAMERAS"
Male models have their own different skin regimen. They have their "secrets" on maintaining their youthful glow.
Some male models are prudent on showing their vanity, some were in the "I don't care" statement because they believe it's for gays only.
"As long as there's an alternative way to enhance their looks they would not stop developing and showing what they've got just to prove that they are flawless and clean with a good hygiene. Actually there's nothing wrong about it, THEY ARE MODELS AND SKIN IS THEIR MARKET!"
Modeling is basically body projection and presenting whatever you're supposed to present. All runway Models are performers.

Everything that models do on the runway - the poses, walking style, facial expression - relays certain messages to the audience, so it's good to get in touch with your body muscles before you sashay through the runway.
Close your eyes then open them slowly while counting to 10. Now, close your mouth then open it slowly.
Loosen up your body with a series of shoulders, legs, and back exercises.
Facial expression must always blend with the clothes.
In the runway, you should be walking in a straight line with your toes and heels in, while maintaining good body posture - stand straight with your chest and butt sticking out.
At some point, it's not necessary if you're Handsome or Macho, not all the time, there are also Character Models. But sadly, there are standards in modeling, especially in ramp. Men should be at least 6-feet tall with a lean body, but you can always break the rules.
Internalize before you get on stage. Release all the tensions and stress in your body so you can focus well. For example, before a show, study what kind of clothes you'll be wearing. RTW's is different from bringing suits.
TIPS:
Get 8 hours of sleep. The skin pores tend to open more if you don't rest well.
In modeling, your investment is our face, so you have to take good care of it.
Wear black in a fashion go-see. It's elegant and it adds the impact to your body, making you look like skinnier if you're quite plus size.
Try to come early, usually, if the slots for models who we're really needed except if there's an exceptional has been completed, the next thing you can hear is "OKAY NEXT!"
Some events who need models for their shows or gigs really chooses models, BUT! If you have confidence to go to go-sees, it's okay. Some really encourages real men to try out, 'cause obviously,
SOME PEDESTRIANS ARE EVEN MORE HANDSOME THAN MALE MODELS.
To feel good and confident, don't go for the extravagant pose.
If you're thinking twice about your modeling dream, pursue it and go! Just believe in yourself and have a confidence. It requires a lot of sacrifices like being well-disciplined when it comes to the food you're eating or the diet itself and exercises . You have to shed tears and sweats to achieve your dream body, but after those hard works and sacrifices, you'll see that it is worth it. Everything is meant to be fair to miss a perfect character in and a package on you, so if you're tall, handsome, lean, macho, or to cut it short, "model type", don't waste the opportunity to share your package, instead flaunt it the way it is supposed to be sashayed.
