What to Expect at a Casting Day

Here at Mustard we love hosting our casting days; we hope to have another coming up in early 2025! Our previous events have been a huge success, and we’ve had the privilege of signing some incredible talent of all ages. These models are now booked and busy; working on exciting projects both in the UK and internationally.

Here is everything you need to know about what makes our casting days so great —and what you can expect when you join us!

Why Attend Our Casting Day?

Our casting days are the ultimate introduction to the agency. They are fun, fast-paced, and designed to uncover fresh talent. Whether you’re an aspiring model or someone with experience looking for further representation, this is your chance to shine and potentially get signed.

What to Expect on the Day

Details

Please aim to arrive as close to your allocated time as possible, this helps us keep things running smoothly and minimises wait times, especially when the day gets busy. When you arrive, you’ll fill out a short form with your basic details, measurements, and a little about yourself. Don’t worry if you are unsure of your measurements— one of our team can help take them on the day.

Getting to Know You

After check-in, a member of our friendly booking team will sit down with you for a quick chat. This is a chance for us to learn more about you, hear about any modelling experience you might have, and answer any questions about the agency or industry. If you have a physical portfolio, feel free to bring it along—it’s not essential, but we’d love to see your work!

Photos & Digitals

Next, we’ll take a few simple images, often referred to as “Polaroids” or “digitals.” This short session (around five minutes) is informal but important—the images may even be used on our website if you are signed and don’t yet have a professional portfolio.

Tip: Wear an outfit that reflects your personal style and personality. Think of this as showing potential clients how you’d arrive on set or to a casting.

Key Details to Remember

  • Time Frame: You should be in and out within 30 minutes. However, occasional delays can happen, so please allow some time either side.
  • Social Media: Feel free to capture behind-the-scenes content and tag us @mustardmodels—we’d love to share your journey!

Why We Love Casting Days

Our casting days are more than just a recruitment process—they’re an opportunity to discover the next wave of talent. We can’t wait to meet aspiring models who bring energy, individuality, and passion to the industry.
