agencies now have divisions specializing in full- gured talent. To be considered plus size. sizes for female models start at size 8 and up Like commercial modeling, plus sized model- ing and acting is very lucrative as most agents only represent a few in their divisions. Modeling Scouts:
Another option to nd a modeling agent or agency is to go through a scout. As the name suggests, modeling scouts go around the coun- try and try to nd models and usually get some kind of fee for bringing new talent to an agen- cy or directly to an agent. Just like with going to an agent directly, though, not all modeling scouts are reputable so you run the risk of wasting your time.
Online Social Media Marketing:
Most models and actors are going online to market themselves to modeling agents and tal- ent scouts. While exposure is key in the enter- tainment business, social media posting does not allow a model or actor to direct the atten- tion strictly to industry professionals. For new models or actors just starting out in the enter- tainment business, online posting of certain content may be prohibited by their full-time employer so it is always to best to try to contact agencies or scouts directly.
