IMTA Countdown - Week Four!

IMTA Tip of the Week

IMTA Competitions give you the opportunity to be seen by Agents, Scouts and Managers from major markets. The Agent Introduction and Overview held on Thursday night is an opportunity for the Agents, Managers, and Casting Directors to see all the Models and Actors one more time. For Overview, you will walk the T with other Contestants in groups and be categorized by age, gender, and whether you are primarily a Model or Actor. Contestants wear a classic black and/or white wardrobe ...so the focus is on you, not your clothing. Agents have told us that they would like to see models with hair pulled back and minimal makeup. They want to see your face, bone structure and complexion. This also means that the agents don't want to be distracted by elaborate styling. A plain white fitted t-shirt paired with black jeans or a black skirt is perfect. Talent, casual clothes are best for you, too. We suggest wearing something that makes you feel confident.

Remember to smile and show your personality!

Model Tip of the Week

"It's all in the Jeans"

The Jeans Competition is a terrific opportunity for you to show your style on the runway. Be sure to wear your favorite pair of blue denim jeans and a fitted T-shirt or tank top. Agents want to see you in jeans - avoid denim skirts or overalls, as it will affect your score. There are so many to choose from such as Gap, Guess, Old Navy, Seven, Express, True Religion, and many more. This is one competition where you will definitely want to flash a mega-watt smile!

Girls - keep your hair and makeup fresh, young and natural.

Check out: Marie Claire's article for advice on how to find jeans that flatter every body type.

Talent Tip of the Week

''I'm Ready For My Close-Up'' is a great chance for you to show agents, managers and casting directors how you look on-camera and in person. Here's how it works: You'll check in with an IMTA staff member and receive a list of lines. Select the line you can deliver best. Your contestant number will be announced and you're on!

This is the only talent competition that presents you to the judges in-person and on-screen simultaneously. Don't miss out on this great opportunity. The judges want to see your acting potential so deliver your line as you would in a scene. Do not be over the top.

Tips - Show your personality. There is no need to mimic the original delivery of the line. A fresh approach can be just as impressive. Be yourself and let your winning personality shine!

Makeup Competition / Model Tip of the Week

How quickly and skillfully can you do your makeup? In the Makeup Competition, you are given 15 minutes to apply your makeup. This competition shows the judges whether you would be able to apply your own makeup if you were on a shoot and the makeup artist didn't show.

For the Makeup Competition, be sure to be bring any makeup supplies and brushes you will need along with a lighted mirror, (we'll have outlets for you to plug them in). Come with a clean face, hair pulled back and a terrific smile! Emphasize your best feature (eyes, lips, etc.) and make the rest of your face a flawless canvas.

To find the colors that work best for you, check out Cover Girl's Color Match.

And don't forget to follow the seasons! For current makeup styles, visit Sephora.

Sitcom Competition

The Sitcom Competition is a live competition that demonstrates your acting abilities in front of agents and managers. In the Sitcom Competition, you will act opposite a professional actor or actress. Be sure you understand your scene. Know which lines are funny, and deliver those with a punch. Make your delivery natural and don't over-rehearse. REACT to the other actor's lines. Your expressions in response are just as important as when you are delivering your own lines.
