How to Become a Commercial Model

By a Working Commercial Model

You don’t need to be young, signed, or “model-type” to work in commercial modelling.

But you do need to understand how the industry actually works.

Commercial modelling is one of the most accessible ways to work in the industry — yet it’s also one of the most misunderstood. Misinformation, vague advice, and social media noise stop many people before they even start.

This guide explains commercial modelling clearly, honestly, and realistically — based on real working experience.

Is this guide for you?

This guide is for you if you’ve ever asked:

• Am I too old to start?
• Where do I find real castings?
• Can I get booked without an agent?
• What are casting directors actually looking for?
• How do I avoid scams and bad advice?

If you’ve been curious but unsure, this guide gives you clarity.

What you’ll learn (and get)

You’ll learn how to:

• Understand what commercial modelling really is (and what it isn’t)
• Spot legitimate opportunities and avoid scams
• Navigate castings from submission to booking
• Present yourself professionally, even without experience
• Know what to expect at castings and on set
• Build confidence and consistency in the industry

Plus, you’ll get practical resources you can actually use:

• A vetted list of legitimate modelling agencies
• Trusted casting platforms, with guidance on how to use them
• Insight into how casting directors operate and make decisions
• A list of voice-over agencies and where VO fits into commercial work

These are platforms and agencies used in real working environments — not generic Google searches.

Why trust this guide?

I’m a working commercial model, presenter, and actress.

I’ve booked national and global campaigns across:

• Fashion
• Fitness
• Beauty
• Tech
• Finance
• Lifestyle

Everything in this guide comes from real jobs and real castings — not theory or recycled online advice.

Who this guide is for

• Beginners curious about commercial modelling
• People starting later or changing direction
• Anyone tired of vague, conflicting advice
• Those wanting a realistic, achievable route into the industry

Especially if you want to understand both the creative and business sides.

Who this guide is not for

• Anyone expecting guaranteed bookings or overnight success
• People looking for shortcuts without putting in the work
• Those only interested in runway or high-fashion modelling

This guide focuses on realistic, achievable paths.

Why this guide is different

This isn’t theory.

It’s written from lived, working experience — what works, what doesn’t, and what no one explains clearly when you’re starting out.
