Question
Good Afternoon...we have two children (son -7, daughter-4) and are interested in modeling. Do you have a sample model letter that we should send along with the children's info. (i.e. height, age, etc.)?
Should we call any specific organizations, companies? Please advise.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
LaTeesha Mungin
LaTeesha,
Thanks for writing. Unfortunately, I am not an expert at Modeling. I don't know why they group modeling together with acting, performing and directing as it really should be in a category of its own.
Sorry. I wish I could be of more help. You might try visiting the website lacasting.com and see if you can find any modeling information there.
Good luck!
Phil
