Orange models is a “management agency”. WE REPRESENT YOU. If you are an amateur, we may manage you. Please realize that we MUST be honest with you. We cannot possibly work with everyone that we see. If you need better marketing tools, we provide that best in this business. If you are a professional, we BOOK you for jobs via our offices in Toronto and Montreal.

Please email your pictures and contact info to newfaces@orangemodels.ca or mail them to one of the offices near you. Each picture is reviewed by an OMM Inc. agent.

Please call us at Toronto: 416.977.6664, Montreal: 514.284.6664 or email bookings@orangemodels.ca and we will be happy to assist you.

Dress professionally. Remember, you only get one chance to make a first impression. Actors, real people models and commercial modeling applicants: Dress to impress, business casual. High fashion and catalogue modeling applicants ladies, please wear high heels, wear no makeup and bring your hair up in a ponytail. Male high fashion and catalogue modeling applicants please be prepared to take your shirt off and show your walk.

Don’t worry- we regularly interview industry professionals as well as novices. If OMM Inc. determines that you have what it takes to work with us, we will assist you with your basic presentation skills and the organization of your portfolio, composite cards, acting headshots and resume. If you already have them, even better, we can start bookings immediately.

NO! There are no guarantees in this business. We assist and market our models for gigs and auditions, our clients decide whether a particular model or talent is suitable for that job or not.

Absolutely not! Like any other industry, you should NEVER be charged for an interview.

Generally, NO, we are not looking for people that have the attitude of, “if you like me you will do everything for me.” This business is competitive and comes with no promises or guarantees. However, if OMM Inc. sees potential in you, they may cover the cost of the portfolio and or administrative fees.

Days, Weeks, Months? There are no guarantees at all – getting signed by an agency is only half the battle. Once you are signed – it can often take a while for an agency to start aggressively promoting you. You need to stay in touch with them – call them at least once every two weeks – just to check in and remind them that you are anxious for work.

YES, a positive attitude! If you are a professional, bring your portfolio, resume, headshots and composite cards. If you are a beginner bring two recent snapshots. One picture should be a headshot and the other a body shot that shows us what shape you are in. These can be simple photographs taken by a friend- nothing professional. Please keep in mind these photos might NOT be returned. Also you might be asked to show your identification.

Your main responsibility is to attend every casting. Auditions are a privilege not an option and they are your key to succeeding in the business. Make sure to keep in touch with your agent – you MUST call or email them once every month just to touch base.

Models are self-employed and work as independent contractors. You are starting your own business, therefore like any business, you must invest for your business to succeed.

Due to COVID-19, open calls are cancelled until further notice. We are still accepting online submissions. You’re welcome to submit your snapshots and contact information to newfaces@orangemodels.ca.

Please email your project details and contact info to bookings@orangemodels.ca and we would be happy to send you our model package.

Our organization respects and follows the letter and spirit of the Ontario human rights code. We support and protect the dignity and worth of everyone. We provide equal rights and opportunity for all employees, clients, volunteers, model/talent(s) and parents.

Having said that, we are limited in securing work for our model/talent(s) based on the way our clients/industry works (i.e. casting directors, advertisers etc).

We only manage talents that currently live in the Ontario and Quebec area. We do some exceptions with other provinces. For the moment, international talent recruitment is not available.

Orange Models represent babies from 0 to 3 years of age in Toronto only.

TALENTS MUST HAVE FLEXIBILITY IN TAKING TIME OFF WORK, AND A CHILD MAY NEED TO MISS SOME SCHOOL FOR AUDITIONS/WORKS (AND A PARENT WOULD NEED TO BE AVAILABLE TO TAKE THE CHILD). THEREFORE, PLEASE CONSIDER YOUR FLEXIBILITY BEFORE CONSIDERING INVOLVEMENT IN THIS INDUSTRY.

It is important to understand that the agency does not get you jobs. We show your material to our clients when they are looking for talent with your demographics. After that, it is up to the client to choose who will fit their project best. If they choose you, you must be available for the date/time set by the client. Most times, booking details are non-negotiable. A good attitude and professionalism create repeat business for your and for us. Some clients call us and simply ask for the same good people they have works with before
