What to Bring to a Model Casting: The Essential Checklist

18 October 2026 · 4 min read

Arrive prepared and calm. Here is exactly what to pack and wear for your next casting.

What to wear

Fitted black or neutral basics show your shape clearly. Women should bring heels in case they are asked to walk; men should wear clean, plain shoes. Avoid big logos, heavy makeup and styled hair unless the brief asks for it.

What to pack

Bring your comp card or digitals, a charged phone with your portfolio, ID, water, a snack, a hair tie, a neutral swimsuit if the brief mentions swim or lingerie, and the casting details from your agent.

How to behave in the room

Be on time, polite and relaxed. Listen to direction and keep your walk natural. Our article on what casting directors look for explains what happens behind the table.
