Can anybody give advice on what to expect at an elite modelling agency open call? I am thinking about going to an open call at their Toronto location this Wednesday. Even if you haven't been to the Toronto location can anyone give any advice on how I should prepare myself for the open call? What will they say if they see potential and what will they say if they aren't interested? I was thinking of holding off on going to the open call because I haven't updated my portfolio in a while and I was thinking of changing my hair colour back to my natural colour which is medium brown. I am wondering if I have the look they are looking for or not? They seem to have mostly brunettes on their roster.  I am 5'9" and I have been to open calls before just not for elite.

Does anyone have any advice on if I should hold off or if i should just go regardless of my hair colour/portfolio?

Your portfolio - strip out anything but your best, even if that's 4 photos. Or - don't bring a portfolio at all.

Pull your hair off your face, but your color is fine.
