The first volume in the three-part "Practical Guide to Modeling" series, this program features both models and agents discussing the ropes of breaking into modeling. Topics include: getting an agent, developing your career, Europe and other markets, and the role of the modeling agency. Interviewees talk about the different focus of today's modeling (the pencil-thin look giving way to the athletic look, etc.) and what viewers interested in modeling can expect from a modeling career. Technically, the program has a few problems: 1) the annoying and repetitive musical track, 2) the occasionally fuzzy audio (one main interviewee buried her lavaliere mike and rustles like crazy), and 3) the questionable SuperShots photography ad--which is not labeled as an ad, and not clearly separated from the editorial content. The other two programs in the series are: Preparing For Pictures and Designing Your Portfolio. The cost for all three programs is $79.95. An optional purchase (we've yet to see a really good, comprehensive program on this subject). (Available from: Cambridge Career Products, P.O.
