Before You Apply
General Requirements
Everything you need to prepare before your open call, interview, or audition with SLMTA.
Measurements & Digitals
Prepare exact, up-to-date measurements (height, bust/chest, waist, hips, shoe size) and digital photos taken in natural light with no heavy makeup and minimal styling.
The Right Attire
Wear simple, form-fitting, neutral or all-black clothing (such as a tank top and skinny jeans) so agents can focus on your natural proportions rather than your outfit. Women should typically bring non-platform black heels.
Portfolio / Digitals Book
A professional portfolio is helpful if you have experience, but clean natural digitals and polaroids are the standard for new faces. Quality over quantity.
What to Expect
Interviews & Auditions Process
The Open Call or Interview
Usually brief (5–15 minutes), involving quick introductions, a review of your digitals or portfolio, and basic questions about your personality, availability, and goals.
The Live Performance
Be ready for a brief runway walk or a "slate" — a quick video self-introduction with turns and angles — to showcase your movement and presence.
Legitimacy Check
Legitimate agencies do not charge upfront fees for representation before booking work. Verify credentials through state registries or the Better Business Bureau.
Live Audition / Interview
Schedule a Zoom Call with SLMTA
Request your preferred date and time for a live virtual audition or interview. Our team will confirm your appointment via email with a Zoom link.
