Here’s what every model should

know before starting out on a career

in the modeling industry. First, with

all the types of modeling take a good

look in the mirror at yourself. Your

hair is one of your most valuable as-

sets. In most cases, beautiful hair

when brushed for a shoot can be-

come “wispy”.

This means bits can stick out and

strays can go across either forehead

or eyes which could cause a lot of

photo-shop work after the shoot to

remove these wisps of hair. A tip

many fashion models use is to rub a

little oil on which will do the trick.

Second are your teeth white,

stained or gapped? It does not matter

how good you look if your teeth are

not white you will find it hard to get

work. It’s important not to use a

product that will ruin your teeth.

Some products while working great

may eat away at your enamel. It is

highly recommended to consult your

dentist and ask which brand you

should use. Also if you have gaps or

crooked teeth consult your dentist

about ways to either remove these

gaps or straighten your teeth.

Third a models lips should look full

and enticing. Your first option is

plastic surgery or lip injections. How-

ever with injections you run the risk

of misshapen lips.

Your other option is to use one of

the many lip enhancers on the mar-

ket. Follow the directions and you

should have full pouty lips for the

next 3-4 hours.

As a new fashion model you may

not know how to apply your own

make-up for photography shoots.

Make-up for a photo shoot is different

to putting on normal make-up.

The flashes that are used change

the look of ordinary make-up, that’s

why there are photographic make-up

artists, they know what the lights will

do and what they have to do to fix

that problem.

It's simple - just apply more make-

up than you would normally use.

Then, don't blend eye shadows if you

can help it because the camera flash-

es will tend to burn through the tran-

sition colors, say from pink to purple

on your lids, and they will end up

looking like stripes rather than a con-

tinuous blending between the colors.

What every Model needs to Know!!!

Voodoo Prophet has appeared on the music sce-

ne and made a substantially heavy impact in a rela-

tively short time. The band doesn't rely on gim-

micks, ever changing trends, or formulas to deliver

their sonically devastating style of music. Instead

they have forged their own sound and style while

drawing from a wide and varied range of influ-

ences.

Guitar driven metal never goes out of style, and

Voodoo Prophet builds on that solid foundation

with catchy riffs and melodies, heavy grooves, and

lyrics that get the masses chanting like a mob driv-

en to the edge of anarchy!

I have had the privilege to get to know this group

of guys and they are down to earth hard working

and truly care about their music and the fans that

support them. They describe their music as midg-

ets with buckets of nails on their feet running thru

a gravel driveway with a whole lot of metal thrown

in. I can say this for the band they are one of the

best interviews I have had the privilege to do. Myk

started voodoo prophet in high school now at age

24 he feels the group is where they need to be to

really make a name for themselves and to take

their careers to that next level.

When did you realize that Music was what you

wanted to do for a living?

Fozzy recalls being at a Metallica concert with

Godsmack opening and hearing the crowd and

feeling the energy.

Malcom says “ Once I surpassed my father

at drums and coming home after school and

playing every second I could before they got

home then I bought my own set and never

looked back. Derek remembers Killswitch

Engage at rocket town when he was about

fifteen. The shock and awe of it all kind of

told me that was something I would want to

do a bring that experience to others.

What can people expect to see at a VOO-

DOO PROPHET show!

Raw energy and bringing it at a higher

level having a good time on stage and get-

ting the audience into the performance and

after the show hanging out with their fans

and getting to know the people that come

to their shows.

What are your songs about?

Aggression, brutality, relationships, and

real life. We write about a little of every-

thing so that when fans hear our music they

can relate in

some way to

the songs we

play.

What was your first experience with

music like?

Early memories of Pantera cranked being

a huge dimebag fan. Being good at Guitar

Hero and being challenged to playing a real

one to growing up in a family that all

played some sort of musical instrument.

What has been your biggest challenge so

far?

Getting everyone on the same page we

are all very strong willed people and some-

times its just getting all of us on the same

line. But we do and its all the different

views that really help us progress as a band

and to push each other to reach that next

level. Because in the end it is and always be

about the music and the fans.

7

What advice would you give youth to-

day thinking about doing what you do?

Go for it be willing to make sacrifices

and be willing to work hard and long

hours. You can do anything you set your

mind to as long as you are willing to put

in the work for it nothing is unattaina-

ble.

Does anyone influence you more than

others?

Lady GAGA her stage presence and the

way she engages her audience. Also Pan-

tera, Lamb of God, Killswitch Engage and

Rush. We all pull from a wide range of in-

fluences and that is what helps us as a

band become more diverse.

Pose-itioning Yourself

To break into the business, you — the tal-ent — need professional photos. There are

two types of standard photographs — a

"head shot" and a "composite card."

The typical marketing tool for an actor, ex-

perienced or not, the head shot usually is an 8" x 10" black and white photo of the

face, with your resume printed on the

back.

A "comp card," the typical market-

ing tool for the experienced model or the wannabe, usually features sever-

al shots on the same sheet, showing off the talent in different attire or set-

tings.

Agencies and schools offer separate and

distinct services. Make sure you know the

difference.

Modeling (or talent) agencies se-

cure employment for experienced models and actors. Some agents re-

quire that you sign up exclusively

with them; others may allow you to register with them as well as with

other agencies in town.

Modeling and acting schools claim

to provide instruction — for a fee — in poise, posture, diction, skin care, make-up application, the proper

walk, and more. Modeling schools do not necessarily act as agents or find

work for you — after you take their

classes, you may be on your own.

Talent Tips:

Steer clear of modeling companies

that require you to use a specific photographer. Compare fees and the

work quality of several photogra-

phers.

Be suspicious if a company re-

quires an up-front fee to serve as

your agent.

Be cautious if the school has a

special referral relationship with a specific modeling agency. The two

could be splitting your fees, or the agency may not be suited to your

needs.

11

Avoiding a Model Rip-Off

Ask yourself, "why me?" Don't let your

emotions — and the company's flattery —

take control. Think carefully and critically

about how you were approached: if it was

in a crowded mall, think how many others

also may have been approached.

Avoid high-pressure sales tactics. Never

sign a document without reading and un-

derstanding it first. In fact, ask for a blank

copy of the contract to take home and re-

view with someone you trust. If the compa-

ny refuses, walk away.

Be leery of companies that only accept

payment in cash or by money order. Read

it as a strong signal that the company is

more interested in your money than your

career.

Be wary of claims about high salaries.

Successful models in small markets can

earn $75 to $150 an hour, but the work is

irregular.

Ask for the names, addresses and

phone numbers of models and actors who

have secured successful work — recently

— based on the company's training.

Check out client claims. If an agency

says it has placed models and actors in

specific jobs, contact the companies to ver-

ify that they've hired models and actors

from the agency.

Be skeptical of local companies claiming

to be the "biggest" agency or a "major play-

er" in the industry, especially if you live in

a smaller city or town.

Realize that different parts of the coun-

try have different needs. For example, New

York is recognized for fashion modeling;

the Washington/Baltimore area is known

for industrial or training films.

Ask if the company/school is licensed

or bonded, if that's required by your state.

Verify this information with the appropri-

ate authorities, such as your local con-

sumer protection agency or state Attorney

General. Make sure the license is current.

Ask your local Better Business Bureau,

consumer protection agency and state At-

torney General if there are any unresolved

consumer complaints on file about the

company.

Get everything in writing, including any

promises that have been made orally.

Keep copies of all important papers, such

as your contract and company literature,

in a safe place.

Brittany grew up in a small town in Illinois

with dreams of being a singer. She recalls at

the age of five singing in her room and re-

cording herself on a karaoke machine and

telling her mother that she wanted to grow

up and perform. Growing up she would al-

ways sing in school plays and in church.

Her first break came at the age of fifteen

for country music legends The Oak Ridge

Boys. Brittany say there is an amazing feel-

ing she gets from performing in front of a

crowd and wish everyone could feel what

she does while on stage doing what she

loves. Brittany started out singing country

and now at 22 she is poised to release her

first rock album.

Her musical interests as a child varied

from the Beatles to Marti na McBride and a

little of everything in between. Brittany says

that when you come to here shows you can

expect to see a very high energy perfor-

mance and that she is always making the

crowd a part of her show. The new music

she is working on is more edgy and in your

face fun.

Brittany ’s biggest break so far she believes

is the chance she has right now with a new

producer and backer that has taken her un-

der their wing and helping her reach that

next level. When asked about her biggest

challenge she says “I have a big trust issue.

When you have dealt with a lot of people

over the years who pretend to be something

they are not you’re since of trust goes down

it takes a lot to

trust someone

with my music

and life.”

Brittany Clarke

Does anyone influence you more than

others? Growing up Marti na McBride be-

cause she has a powerful voice and although

she is a huge success Mar tina is still a down

to earth person and someone that I admire

for work. Where do you see yourself in five,

ten, fifteen years? I hope to be touring and

seeing the country getting to connect with

my fans and becoming a household name a

positive role model for the younger genera-

tion and busy doing what it is that I love so

much. What is your most embarrassing mo-

ment? I am pretty clumsy so if I had to pick

one it would be wearing stilettos and trip-

ping over guitar cords and stuff like that on

stage.

How would you want to be remembered?

Some that has worked very hard for their

dreams and who never gave up and as a pos-

itive role model for future generations.

What sets your music apart from everyone

else's out here right now? My music comes

from real life experiences it ’s a completely

different thing with my rock music. I tell sto-

ries about breakups and guys that treat girls

wrong. I feel in country I was held back from

pu0ng all my feelings out there and with my

rock music I am pu0ng it all out there and

hopefully everyone is going to like it.

22

What advice would you give to anyone

that is thinking about trying to make it as

an singer or model? Stick with your dreams

it is one of those careers that takes a lot of

determination and to have a lot of patience

because success does not come over night.

Define success? To me it is doing what

you love for me it would be touring staying

on the road and being able to do what I

love. I want to be the person always work-

ing to me its not a job its what I love.

Over the years, she has perfected her

sound and style and the dream of making

country music her life has become a reality.

From singing the National Anthem at ball-

games in 3rd grade to opening for such acts

as The Oak Ridge Boys, Jamie O'Neal, Craig

Morgan and .38 special, she has grown as

an artist.

Brittany has had several songs released to

radio. Her recent release, "Tonight I Let You

Go," was sent out in April 2010, and has

gotten a great response from stations

across the country. Her 2009 release, "It's

Gonna Turn," hit the Music Row Charts after

only 3 weeks. Brittany loves to perform live

and travel. In the past couple of years she

has played many stages, both large and

small, both as an opening act and headlin-

ing her own shows. Please look for her at a

venue near you very soon.

While on a recent trip to New York I came

across the most amazing café. The horror

fans out there will really enjoy this place.

Located in the heart of New York city on the

corner of 42nd and 8th Ave. For those with

a big appetite then I suggest slaying the

Beast. Hands down this is the biggest burger

I have ever seen in person.

Also located in the same building is a most

excellent haunted house the scenes are

some of the most graphic I have viewed in a

haunted house. The staff are friendly and

very helpful. The door greeter is also the

makeup artist for the haunted house.

Times Scare includes a high tech Haunted

House that is lurking with psychopathic pa-

tients who taunt, chase, and hunt you at

every turn, a 300 -seat theater featuring

nightly performances by Shock Illusionist

Dan Sperry in his off-Broadway show enti-

tled "MAGIC SHOW" and much more. The

Crypt Cafe inside Times Scare is home to a

full menu serving delicacies to die for and

two fully stocked themed bars with signa-

ture cocktails and a lounge.

Times Scare

The Crypt Cafe

28

Currently the haunted house at times

scare is home to the only authorized HAL-

LOWEEN themed haunt of its kind based off

the movie franchise. Guest

tours begin at the Haddonfield

Memorial Hospital and are

then taken to the childhood

home of Michael Myers.

Throughout the experience vis-

itors are stalked and chased by

Michael Myers guaranteeing a

terror filled experience you

will never forget.

Don't starve yourself!

The first instinct of many dieters is to put themselves on the starvation diet, but although

this can help you quickly lose a couple of pounds, its not the right way to lose weight in

the long run. When your diet drops below 1000 calories, your body goes into 'starvation

mode', which slows down your metabolism. As well as feeling groggy and tired, you will

be using far less calories than usual and making it even harder for yourself to lose

weight! The answer is to eat a sustainable low -calorie diet, but never to make your body

push the 'panic button' like this as it is counterproductive. Also make sure to eat break-

fast. If you skip it, your body will enter its 'starve' mode early in the day and it will be

hard to break out. To keep your metabolism working all through the day, eat small, low

calorie snacks between meals.

Spice it up!

Spicy food doesn't just taste great, it actually increases your metabolism too. Black Pep-

per, Ginger, Chilli Peppers and Cinnamon all raise your body temperature and help you

burn fat faster! Careful though - the curries you find in restaurants are often oily and fat-

ty, so cooking your own spicy food is always best.

Don't Stress If You Blow It!

If you fall off the wagon and completely blow your diet one day, it's not necessarily a bad

thing. Your body is expecting a certain amount of calories a day, so a good pig -out will

rev up that metabolism motor. So if one day a week you lose control, it's ok. Just forget

about it and get back on track!
