Reality Television Modeling Shows

When watching reality T.V. modeling shows, an aspiring model should cut through most of the drama and focus on what the show's real modeling experiences can teach you. Heck, use it as a learning experience and take notes (keep a notebook just for modeling notes and info). There’s really nothing to lose by just watching those shows and making your own observations if it helps you understand the process a bit better.  Knowing what to expect, as well as what the modeling industry expects from you can be an important lesson.  Maybe modeling isn't for you...maybe it is.

Plenty of older and “retired” models only WISH they had these shows to watch (or be contestants on) before they became models. It may have helped familiarize themselves better with the industry. Many knew nothing about modeling except what they saw in magazines and catalogs. Their options were much more limited to how they learned by either investing hundreds (or thousands) of dollars to learn more about the “insides” of modeling from a school-based program, attending modeling conventions, or really getting “lucky” (sometimes ”unlucky“) and learning on the job. This is why I am excited to tell aspiring models to utilize as many forms of FREE lessons about modeling because there are other constructive ways to use your money when needed.

If you've missed the shows or certain seasons of America's Next Top Model try looking them up on your cable television or search on Amazon.com for DVD's.  Other shows like Making of a Supermodel, The Janice Dickenson Agency, Janice and Abbey, Project Runway, etc…there are shows popping up all the time on cable, so give it a try for your self-education at home and get some valuable tips...minus the drama.
