Not sure if a department store was looking to tap into the couture and/or high-fashion market, but the requirements seemed totally off and was excluding many, qualified potential candidates. Additionally, during the showcasing of the …

When I called this afternoon Connie was so rude to me on the phone. I hope she gave me her real name, and not a coworkers. She knows she was being very rude, and was hesitant about her name when I asked. The first thing she asked me when she answered the phone is "What is your height?" When I told her 5'7 without shoes, she said "Sorry we can't see you here, you need to be taller". When I asked if I qualified for Kim Dawson's LifeStyle division with my height she said "No, and the LifeStyle division is for plus sized women." I told her that I saw women within the LifeStyle division that ranged from 5'6 and up on the Kim Dawson website, and that I saw slim women as well. She became quickly irritated, she said "Let me transfer you to someone that can help". She transferred me to a recording that tells you how to submit pictures and automatically hangs up afterwards. I called back and told her about the recording, in which she made very clear what she did was intentional. This still left me with no information about the LifeStyle division which she was fully aware of. Just awful. This agency needs to do better.

I have submitted my 4 year old grand daughter's pictures numerous times through your website. Are there child modeling classes in the area by a reputable company that she can take? I know there are some in Houston.

Kiran Dhir | Nov 4, 2018
Laurie Jones | Nov 5, 2018

Kiran classes are usually for acting, not modeling. All 4 of my children have been involved in acting here in Dallas. Young Actors Studio is great and is non-profit and 30 year excellent reputation. My daughter loves Marlene's classes at Standing Ovation Studios in Dallas too. Kim Dawson has great classes also. Training is an investment in my kid. She works monthly or so with no agent. She also does debate and barrel racing. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6377393/?ref_=nmvi_tt

Kim Dawson doesn't have a petite division. I think you have to be at least 5'7" to work with them.

Is this free

Khaia B | Nov 4, 2018
Marcus M. Mauldin | Nov 5, 2018

Yes ...a real agent does not charge you money upfront to be represented. Cost of headshots, acting classes, commercial workshops and such are part of this business. That falls on you.

Do we need to print out a 8x10 picture and then send/mail it to the agency or can we just take a picture and email it?

Ang Gu | Nov 4, 2019
Kim Dawson Agency, Inc. (Owner) | Nov 5, 2019

If you meet the requirements listed on our website, feel free to either come to open call at the agency every Tuesday + Wednesday from 3:30pm-5:00pm, or you can submit yourself online: https://www.kimdawsonagency.com/submit/ Thanks!

kayla soto | Nov 4, 2018
Gina G | Nov 5, 2018

Mail them 8x10 pictures of your sisters with clean face. It doesn't need to be professional pictures but make sure that the pics have good light and your sisters wear something without big logos. Right now, it's the perfect time to send them. Dont wait until February. Make sure to add their sizes. Thier address is on their website.

How long are classes, how much do they cost, and what do you go over? Thank you!

Adley Athans | Nov 4, 2019
Gina G | Nov 5, 2019

I believe you are out of size. They have the kids division and have 12 years olds but you need to be under 5'4". For adults, you need to be 5'8" They'll see some 5'7" and you need to be at least 13. I suggest to wait until you reach those measurements.

Hi, I’m 17 years old and 5 foot 7 inches. Can I become a model for Kim Dawson Agency. And what would I need to do? What are the requirements?

Imelda Lopez | Nov 4, 2018
Marcus M. Mauldin | Nov 5, 2018

Remember height requirements are for run way models. But if you want to know if you can be a model and what it takes to become a model, make an appointment take Mom and Dad with you and let Dan take a look and give you the information you would need. Dan is a Great Model Agent and a Great Person.

How long does it take on average to hear back from someone after submitting to the agency?

Konrad Sneed | Nov 4, 2018
Gina G | Nov 5, 2018

Adult division: They normally respond very quickly. Whether they like you or not. They would email something if you submitted on line. Kids: Since you have to send pictures, it takes a little longer but no more than a month. The good thing about kids, is that you can submit pictures again in 6 months because kids change sizes often.

Not as a runway model but there are different types of modeling such as hand or foot models, fitness models, everyday people models. It's about your look, personality.

marlen rios | Nov 4, 2018
Gina G | Nov 5, 2018

You need to take classes and try to build your resume. Be very careful with scams. There are a lot of "agencies" that would take your money. I recommend to look into taking classes with Cathryn Sullivan, Cathryn Hartt or Lauren Lazell (Young Actors House). They are reputable acting coaches and can lead you in the right direction. Good luck!

My daughter wants to model and act she is 5'7 everywhere around here wants to charge 5000.00 or more to get her started can you tell me what we can do to assist her in her journey

Amanda Skipworth | Nov 4, 2018
Marcus M. Mauldin | Nov 5, 2018

Do not pay that money!!. If you child want totry modeling. Check out your local Justice stores ( the little girls store) they have monthly fashion shows and sometimes use girls that sign up. Also take her to K.D.'s open model call, there is one every month. Let them look and see what they think. If not there try some of the other talent agencies in town, like Campbell or Core. Get a good headshot done, professional ,not a glamour shot. The cost of headshots should be all you are out of pocket for to start. Then when picked up by an agency recommendations can be made for possible training. Make sure the agencies are all licensed and bonded by the state.

They will likely require male teens to be 5'10 TO 5'11. CHECK WITH THEM TO VERIFY OR SUBMIT ON THEIR SITE.

Can you have stretch marks on your stomach from kids??

Draya C | Nov 4, 2018
Marcus M. Mauldin | Nov 5, 2018

Okay, Draya are you looking to be a model or actress? If a model then yes it may have consequences. As an actress unless you plan on doing a lot of revealing work ( showing off your stomach ) then it would be about your talent. Also it's probably not as bad as you think. We are usually our own worst critics. Stay Blessed & Move Forward.

Casey Okeeffe | Nov 4, 2018
Gina G | Nov 5, 2018

Casey, If you want him to model, you can mail them a 8x10 picture of your child. Make sure that he is wearing something with not big logos and a clean face. The picture doesn't need to be by a professional photographer but make sure that the light is good. Outside pictures are the best. Make sure that they can see his eyes. You can go to their website and look at the pics of their talent to give you an idea. Make sure to add his age, his size and your contact info. If they are looking for your child size and look they would call you. If you want him to be an actor, a good start is to take acting classes. There are several coaches that can help your son with that. Good luck!
