Season 3 of She's Got The Look is right around the corner, and I'm excited for you all to have the opportunity I did to finally realize my dream of being a model. I've received tons of questions about auditioning for this season. Here are my tips based on what I experienced at the casting call, as well as what I wasn't prepared for, but know now!
Eat! Mom was always right: It's important to have a good breakfast. Energy is key. You need to be at your best, because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Photos: These don't have to be professional. I had a friend take some head shots and full-length shots. Make sure your natural beauty shows. A head shot (of you smiling) and a full-length showing your figure are both important. I even added a couple of extra looks that I wanted to show! Even if you already sent them in, bring extras to the open casting call.
Wardrobe: Keep it simple, casual, and above all, show your figure. It's OK to show your sense of style, but you don't want what you wear to overpower you. They want to see YOU. If you make it through to the judges, I recommend wearing the same outfit, or something similar. Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Parking: Be prepared, as you may have to walk quite a bit to get to the destination. I did!
Weather: It rained in Los Angeles last year and there was a lot of wet hair! Be prepared for all elements. Bring a sweater, jacket, umbrella, and extra socks. I wasn't prepared for auditions, but something I'm learning from my go-sees is to always carry a bag or purse large enough for a sweater, my pics and a change of shoes (as well as a book, snacks and makeup).
Be Yourself: Show your true personality. This is your one chance and it's over fast. Don't miss your shot at showing them why you have The Look!
Be Unique: I've been asked dozens of times the "height question." Hope from Season 1 was under 5'6". She had a gorgeous face and the judges loved her personality. Confidence is key. If you don't know why they should pick you, neither will they!
Last but not least, if you make it through to the final round, be prepared to pass the time. Bring a book or music — something that makes you feel good. Remember to stay positive. It's important to keep your energy level up, so bring a snack. Don't forget to pack some makeup for touch-ups. When it's your turn, go in there with confidence. You know you have The Look, now let them know.
My audition was pretty tough in front of the judges, but I'd waited my whole life for this opportunity and my lifelong desire to be a model helped me stand up to the challenge. Go in there with conviction and confidence, and most importantly, be yourself!

I'm not sure how my employer will react. I was waiting to see if I'm picked to discuss being off for the taping. Once you are picked if you have a conflict such as your boss saying no you can't be gone–would the Producer release you. I really want to try, but I don't want to cause a problem at work if I'm not picked. Can you advise?
Thanks so much for these great insider's tips Cindy! So appreciated!
