If youâve decided that you want to be a model, but donât think your parents will be thrilled â youâre not alone. It can be difficult to tell your parents that you want to pursue a career in the entertainment industry, especially if you think theyâd rather you embark on a more traditional career path.
Here are a few tips for sharing your new dream with your parents and getting their support!
Come up with a list of reasons why youâd make a great model. And donât just focus on the physical. Height and a strong looks are great reasons, but a desire to travel, cultivate contacts in the fashion industry and be on the cutting edge of industry trends are good too. Really spend some time brainstorming and be creative!
Research the industry so that youâll be prepared to answer any questions your parents may have. Itâs important that youâre able to discuss both the pros and the cons of the industry so that they know youâve looked at your chosen career from every angle â not just the most glamorous aspects of it.
Come up with a plan for how you intend to break into the industry to illustrate your ambition and initiative. For example, joining Star Search Casting is a great way to begin getting exposure and start regularly researching opportunities in fashion and entertainment. That shows genuine interest and dedication.
Set up a day and time to talk to your parents and present the information to them professionally and maturely. And donât do all of the talking. Be sure to give them an opportunity to voice their concerns and ask questions. Donât worry! By being prepared, you can help to steer them away from any negative perceptions they may have about the industry, or your chosen career path.
