Dear Tyra,
I was wondering, what is your advice for a 14 year old who wants to become a teen model but doesn't have any experience?

Hi Tyra! I am writing in regards to my 2 Beautiful teenage daughters ages 15 and 16. The both of them would like to try to do a photo shoot or something down that line for modeling. My oldest daughter is about 5'5 and the younger one is about 5'8. Names of Delyce and Shalyce. I have been told by so many people to get them into modeling, but I just don't have the funds to do that. I was wondering if you could give me some ideas to get them into the modeling process. I have lots of beautiful pictures if you would like to see what they look like. Thank You!!

Hi Tyra,
I am interested in getting into modeling. I have gone to several open calls and modeling agencies and all of them seem to be scams. I wanted to know if you could recommend me to a legitimate photographer and agency either in my area Michigan, or possibly Chicago, IL, or any other modeling industry? Thank you

Hello Tyra,

I would like to become a male model. Not runway but print or commerical work. I am 5'6 1/2" and I know my chances are close to "0" but are there any agency that would work with me. I can submit you a photo of myself for you to view. I know if I was 6 or more feet I would get accepted. I have a lot of confidence in myself and have been told since I was young I should become a model. I just have this height thing going on right now and it is sure getting in the way of my dreams.

Thanks Tyra

Hello Girl,
What up tara, I was listening to the radio and heard about an open talent search for Great American Model and Talent Agency ack for the information session which I wasnt pleased with.They ask for $655 dollars which would secure a spot for the talent convention in the summer and they needed the money by the next day. I really need help because I really want to have her with an agency that I dont have to pay forfor. I am a single parent mom i cant just come up with $655 by the next day. Hopefully one day she becomes on of the women on your show Americas Top models. Where should I start to have her get exposed in the business. Thanks Tara

Hi Tyra, well yesterday met with an agency here in Utah & being on cloud 9 i signed her! now i'm having second thoughts because i just herd that the agency that i went to changed there name for having a bad reputation & they make you make a payment up front. how do i get my daughter out? i signed a contract so my husband says theres nothing i can really do UGHHHH! can't trust no one anymore.
thank you for your time :D

Dear Tyra,

I am actually writing in reguards to my two daughters who were selected to enter the Barbizon school of modeling and acting.
There were 400 to 600 hundred girls in the Orlando area interviewed and only 60 could be chosen and two of my girls were selected. They are very excited. But I do not have the money to send them to the 6 month school they need to attend before being booked for local level jobs. I don't want to disappoint them again by saying sorry I can't afford it. So I have decided to see if anyone would help by sponsoring the girls. Our goal is to recieve $1745.00 per girl.
If you have any ideas to raise sponsors quickly and/or can help in anyway I am all ears. As alot of people we have never really had much money and I am not one to recieve charity from no one but thisis not about me and I need help to raise the money to send these girls to do there thing.. Ya never know they just might take America by storm...

Thanks for any thoughts or help you can give, you have no idea how appreciated it would be...
Love, a loving Mom

Dear Tyra,
I am a college student on the campus of Texas Southern University, a couple of months I was given a modeling flyer for a Modeling agenices called VOY models. Since it was giving to me on campus during school hours I assumed it was safe. After sending in pictures and talking to the modeling company I was finally able to do my first photoshoot. Well, after beeing paid in a check for modeling everything went wrong. None of the checks that were giving to me were real all of them were totally fraud. The bank account that I was depositing the checks in was school bank account leaving me with no money for school, food, or anything. For the past week or so my single parent mother who is ill has been trying to come up with the money to pay back the banks. I have tried to contact everyone I could to help me in my time of need but no one seem to be able to reach out. I am a honor student I am only 18. I was honestly suckered out of all my money and my education. I hope that you get this e-mail, you have always been an inspriation to me. My life is starting to feel like it is over. Tryra please help.

Hey Tyra,
I'm 18yrs old but look like i could pass for a 12yr old. I used to model for Baby Guess when i was about 5 or 6yrs old. I did it for a very short period of time because i then lost my front teeth and my mother felt i would no longer be accepted back because of it. I've wanted to go back and model for the longest time. I don't have a clue where/how to start. I'm barley 5 feet and want people to actually take me serious... ;(
thanks- Neisha

Tyra,
I am like the girl Courtney, because i am so short, not growing any taller, but the agents tell me that i am so good at modeling. I am only about 5foot, and i know you have to be like 5' 7". So i was wondering if you know of any agents out there for petites.
