✔️ Wear Form-Fitting Attire – Agents need to see your natural look and movement.
           Actors: Solid-colored, fitted clothing that allows comfortable movement. Avoid distracting patterns or logos.
           Models: Fitted jeans or leggings and a simple, solid top. Women should bring heels for runway evaluation.

Please note! UPNEXT MGMT® is a talent management company, not an agency. Unlike agencies that take a percentage, we scout, train & prepare talent to get noticed and signed by top agencies at the International Showcase. This is a paid opportunity to work with industry pros—our guidance is key to standing out.
