What are the requirements to be a model
or actor?
Generally, a female fashion model is 5'8"
to 5'11" tall, size 4-7 and between 12 to 23 years of
age. Male fashion models are 5'11" to 6'2" tall,
wear a jacket size 40 to 42 and are 15 to 28 years old. There
are, of course, exceptions, but these are the accepted general
guidelines. (Kate Moss is about 5'6 1/2"!) Fashion models
work in runway shows, showroom modeling, editorial and fashion
print (such as magazines, advertising ads, catalogs and billboards)
and many also do TV commercials.
Commercial models can be of any age, height
and size and have more of a "real people" look for
everyday product and service advertising.
Actors/actresses again can be of any age,
height and size, but must also possess a charismatic and outgoing
personality. Actors/actresses work in film, video, television
and theatre.
All of the above should be fit, have healthy
hair, clear skin and good teeth.
