As a Figure Model , TV or Movie Actress

The Council is an independent resource for models and actresses serving 

The Print Media, The Fine Arts, TV and The Motion Picture Industry. 

FINE ARTS MODELING: Our clients are word famous 

classical sculptors and painters who seek perfection in their models. 90% of all of their sculptures and many of their oils feature the youthful female figure. A typical piece might be a life-sized bronze statue for the formal Bonsai garden of a Japanese industrialist, a sea nymph for a French chateau, a twelve foot Aphrodite for a bank or corporate office building lobby or a giant Venus for the rock garden of an NBA basketball star.  The Council seeks models of all heights and body types with perfect figures.

 

MOTION PICTURES AND TELEVISION CASTING:  

Large and small studios, Independents, Network TV and Cable come to The Council for figure model and actress casting.  We have become the "Gold Standard"  for meeting the most exacting requirements of these clients.  The Council is known to represent figure perfection in aspiring actresses of all heights and body types. 

Modeling and acting assignments can be handled from virtually any city of residence that has a commercial airport nearby. Most assignments require travel — typically two to three days for each assignment. The Council advances or reimburses all travel and other expenses including an allowance for fashions. From your first telephone call to your first modeling assignment, there is never any charge or expense to a Model/Actress.

Beginner Models are paid fixed hourly rates currently set at $100 per hour with a daily guaranteed minimum of three hours ($300) for any day called out on assignment. On a typical three-day assignment, she could expect to earn approximately $2,500.00. fine arts models will eventually be eligible for substantial commissions (bonuses) for successful sales on a graduated scale up to 5%. On this basis, 100% collection on a $200,000 sale could yield a commission bonus of between $5,000 and $10,000. Additionally, the model who assists in the sale of the commission is often invited to model for the finished piece of fine art. These assignments are compensated at the standard hourly rate of $200 per hour. Modeling assignments vary as to the size and complexity of the piece and the needs and practices of the artist or sculptor commissioned. A typical large piece might involve 35-50 hours of live modeling work. As beginner models gain experience, their earnings will go up significantly.

Acting in Television, Cable and Motion Pictures

Rates for screen tests, stand-ins, extras and beginner roles  are typically set by The Screen Actor's Guild (SAG).  SAG rates are very low.  Council candidates receive a minimum of $200 for each casting call and once you become a member of the Council, your rate climbs to a minimum of $500 per day.  Once you are cast, you will have your own agent who will individually negotiate your compensation for TV, cable or motion pictures.

Modeling for classical and modern fine art is figure modeling and candidates should expect the accent to be on the human figure. It has been called "modeling at its best". Experience shows that successful figure models will generally be confident of their appearance, be self-assured, enjoy sharing their beauty and not be overly modest. Likewise, actresses should expect nude scenes, as the Council's reputation has been built on providing exceptional figures to the TV and motion picture industry.

However, The Council respects the dignity and preferences of every candidate and strives to provide an environment of comfort and satisfaction for all tastes. It is a direct violation of Council policy for there to be any sanctions or pressure whatsoever placed upon prospective models or actresses regarding dress or acceptance of nude modeling or acting assignments.
