An open call is a time when anyone off the street can walk into the modeling agency's office to be evaluated and considered for representation. Open calls usually take place at the agency during certain days of the week and during a short time frame. You don't need an appointment. Not all agencies hold their open calls at the same time so you'll need to visit the agency's official website in order to get that information.

An example of an open call schedule would be: Mondays and Wednesday from 1pm-2pm. It is first come first served so if you are late you will not be seen.

The agency will look at your snapshots or portfolio and ask you to fill out some basic information such as your height and other stats/measurements. Depending on the type of modeling you want to do, the agency may ask you to walk for them. They may also take a polaroid photo of you for their files. If they are interested in you, they will contact you within a few days or weeks of meeting you at the open call.

Modeling agencies do not contact people--you have to go to them. Unless you are approached by a modeling scout, you will have to go to an agency's open casting call or submit your pictures via email or snail mail. Only if the agency is interested in you, will they call or email you to come in for an interview.

What is an modelling open call?

This describes certain times and days of the week that modeling agencies allow anyone to come in and interview with them without the need for an appointment (if you are under 18 then you will need to bring a parent or guardian with you). Not all modeling agencies offer open calls--also known as open casting calls. This is another way that agencies find new models. Most agencies list their information on open calls on their websites as well as what to bring.

It is important to know what type of modeling you fit the requirements for. Doing an online search for modeling agencies in your area will give you results. Check out the websites of these agencies and see what their requirements are and what images they want. If you fit what they are looking for then submit yourself or attend an open casting call. If the agency is interested in you they will offer you a contract. But you must be located in an area where there is a good modeling market. London is a prime modeling market for example.


What are the consequences that one would face in breaking an open modeling contract?

It all depends on the agency and what is stated in the contract, which is why it is important to read your contract before signing it. The most common consequences of breaking a modeling contract include automatic termination from the agency or legal action. But it also depends on what you mean by "open." There is no such thing as an open modeling contract...you may be thinking of a non-exclusive modeling contract, which allows models to sign with other agencies.
