Advice for models
One important thing, you MUST have professional pictures of yourself. If and when you do, you should create profiles of yourself on www.onemodelplace.com and myspace.com, there are many good contacts you can make there. You can even find popular models which usually have advice on how to start on their pages and actually would answer your questions.
Other suggestions would be to search "craigslist" + casting calls, or go directly on www.craigslist.com, choose your area and see what auditions of castings are being done. Check regularly as everyday there can be a new ones added. Sometimes thy might be included on the site as well.
Besides that, getting yourself out there and getting people to notice you is important.
Lastly, after you get your portfolio going, try to go see as many modeling agencies in your area and see which one is best suited for you.
As for more detailed advice, I found this online which I think is very useful: www.indosplace.com
To avoid any modeling agencies that might be scams, please read this site before going to any interviews: ftc.gov

| Image requirements | |
1. Images should be clear! 2. Image sizes should be close to 600W x 1000H, anything lower than 500W will automatically be denied. This means DO NOT send in thumbnails of your images! (example) 3. Make sure your images have a good resolution, there is no point in sending in pixelated pics!! (example) 4. If you have the really big image sizes, i prefer that you send them in their biggest size which I will resize. Do not resize them yourself, pics tend to lose their resolution when you do not do it properly. If this means you have to send them one by one through emails, that is fine too.
