1.) Being a model isn't a career choice, so if you want to model, make sure you want it for the right reasons.
2.) Realize that it is work. It's not all fun. Be prepared to invest in it. You need money for headshots and heels and things like that.
3.) If you want to get with an agency, just do it. Stop putting it off and waiting and wondering, just do it. Find an agency online, and send some pictures in. They don't need to be professional, the agency just wants to see what you look like. Heres a good example of shots to send in.
4.) You need confidence, or to be good at faking confidence. You have to be that super friendly bubbly giggly ready for anything adorable person. Not in real life, just when your at a test shoot or a job or around your agency
5.) Be realistic. If you're 5'5 you should wait until you're taller. If you try an agency and they don't accept you, try another, try every agency you can find. If you don't get one, it doesn't mean you're not pretty or somethings wrong with you. You just don't have the right look. And its nbd ja feel?
6.) Get ready to feel awkward. The first time you have a test shoot you're going to feel awkward but the most experience you have the better you'll get.
7.) Please for the love of god don't be cocky. Just don't be that person. No one likes that person. Getting with an agency doesn't mean you're a model. I've only been modeling for a year. I barley consider myself a model.
8.) Don't get discouraged.
Obviously I'm not a pro and these are by no means any official guidelines. These are basically just the things I would have told myself before I got with my agency. (:
