Can you see why this casting is fake? Here are tips to spot:

1.) Poor Language Translation (You can see the spelling errors and typos)

2.) Free Model Coach (This is never the case, casting clients never have a model coach on set)

3.) Too broad (Casting Calls can be very specific, this is way too broad)

4.) Using the Name of a Real Photographer (David LaChapelle Photography or any photography company does not post casting call on behalf of clients)

As a model or actor, it can be hard to spot red flags. Latitude Talent remains committed to providing talents the best way to get started. Follow us for more tips!
