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.

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.”

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.

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!
