Lets Elaborate

Someone asked me to elaborate on castings and booking jobs and how it works (:

Weelll hm.
I feel like we (me and the other models) are "on call models", like we don't have much of a schedule but we'll get a call and the agency will say, "Be down here in 10 minutes with full makeup you have 8 castings".
Thats the worst part for me. We have no information. Is it a sports wear casting? Fashion? Electronic? Underwear? We have no idea. I learned to not ask questions. Just go with it.
Castings are rarely fun. It's a lot of pressure. Sometimes it will be a room full of models from different agencies and you have to wait around forever. Then finally its your agencies turn. They look at your comp cards and if they don't like your look, you know. Because you're asked to wait in the hall. Awkwarddd.
Maybe they take pictures or just want you to pose right there on the spot. Maybe you try on clothes.
Other times its a really small casting with just models from your agency.

Jobs are pretty straight forward. When you book a job its either a half day or a full day.
We get a lot of jobs for golf wear (I guess golf is big in korea). Underwear is also really big this season. But those jobs are so annoying. Sometimes at underwear castings I purposely do awkward poses so I won't get the job....
Fur wear jobs are fun. Because they have these big fur coats and there's so many poses you can do with big jackets and coats.
Athletic wear is common. Those are fun.
Catalogue jobs are boring a'f because you just do the same stupid pose in 50 different shirts.

A booker (agent) always comes with us to each job to translate what the client wants.
Which is usually a concept. Other than a concept you don't get much direction. Just try stuff and if they don't like it they'll all start violently speaking korean and you change what you're doing.

I've learned so much here about posing and modeling. Asian posing is reallly different from american posing. But the most interesting thing so far about being here is the people and the culture and the change. Modeling is awesome but for me it comes second to the experience I'm having here.

Hope this is what you were asking about!(:
