The CM Rooftop Casting in Berlin — What to Expect

The casting at CM Models is no ordinary snapshot appointment. On the rooftop above Berlin’s rooftops, you can expect a structured casting experience that offers immediate feedback, professional photos and — if suitable — direct agency placement. CM Models is one of the most well-known model agencies in Berlin with an international network that opens doors most models only know from magazines.

Flow of the Rooftop Casting

So that you arrive well prepared, you can find the planned schedule of the two-day event at a glance here:

Phase	Content	Duration
Check-in & Briefing	Registration, first get-to-know conversations with the agency team	approx. 30 min.
Walk & Posing	Assessment of walk, posture and natural presence	approx. 45 min.
Photo Session	Professional photos in the exclusive loft location	approx. 60 min.
Video Content	Video sequences for digital portfolios	approx. 30 min.
Feedback & Decision	Personal conversation, possible contract offers	approx. 20 min.

What you take away directly

Whether or not you receive a contract straight away: you leave the casting with professional photos and video material that you can use for your model portfolio for casting applications. That’s a real added value — and a clear advantage over other castings, where you go home with empty hands.

“The models who stand out the most to us are not necessarily the perfectly prepared ones — they are the ones who are authentic and fill the room with their energy. That can’t be faked.” — CM Models Casting Team

Requirements and application — Who can take part?

CM Models is looking for fresh faces with potential. You don’t need to be a professional — but you should know what matters. The requirements to become a model are broader than many think. Whether classic high-fashion measurements or curvy — CM Models has several boards for different types.

Physical requirements and measurements

For the classic fashion board, certain model measurements and requirements apply, which you should be aware of. The minimum height for modelling agencies is usually 174 cm for women and 185 cm for men at most international agencies. However, CM Models also works with a Curvy Board: anyone who wants to become a curvy model is explicitly welcome here. And for those who are below the classic minimum measurements, there are also opportunities — it is possible to find a modelling agency without minimum height, and CM Models will advise you openly on this.

Important: Beauty is only one factor. Presence, reliability and willingness to learn are at least just as important. Anyone who knows and has internalised the steps to become a model already shows this during the first personal contact.

How to apply for the casting

The application process is straightforward, but attention to detail pays off. Use the official form and pay attention to the following points:

Current photos without heavy make-up
A natural smile — no shoot face
State your height and measurements correctly
Mention a short personal motivation
Submit your application early

Apply now and secure one of the 20 coveted casting spots — the slots usually fill up very quickly.

Prepare professionally — how to impress at the casting

Often, the difference between an average and a strong casting performance is just one thing: preparation. Whoever knows how to prepare for a casting has a clear advantage. This applies equally to the walk as well as the conversation with the agency team.

Walk, posture and presence

A confident catwalk stride often decides within the first few seconds. With the right posing tips and our catwalk and walk tips, you can practice in front of the mirror at home. Pay attention to an upright posture, relaxed shoulders and an even step. Many aspiring models neglect the walk — this is a mistake that can be costly.

What to Bring on the Casting Day

Choose neutral, body-conscious clothing
Flat shoes or heels as specified
Hair loose or neatly tied back
Minimal or no make-up
Bring a passport-sized photograph
Positive energy and punctuality

Your Casting Checklist for the Big Day

☐ Application fully submitted
☐ Confirmation email received
☐ Casting address and route researched
☐ Walk practised in front of the mirror
☐ Outfit prepared and ironed
☐ Photos for first portfolio compiled
☐ Woken up early enough — no stress!
☐ Passport-sized photograph packed

International Career — What Is Possible After the Casting

The Rooftop in Berlin is the starting point — not the destination. CM Models places successful models on international markets. Those who impress can soon be walking the catwalk at the Milan Fashion Week, the Paris Fashion Week or the London Fashion Week. The New York Fashion Week dates are also accessible for the strongest talents — all of this belongs to the universe of the Big 4 Fashion Weeks, which every modelling talent should know.

For those who want to start locally first: The Fashion Week Berlin is an ideal first international stepping stone. And for those wondering whether an international start can also be made from other cities — yes, it can. With agencies like CM Models, which are active not only in Berlin but also in other metropolitan areas, many doors are open to you when it comes to modelling abroad. Also find out about opportunities such as becoming a model in London or becoming a model in New York, if you are looking to orient yourself internationally.

By the way: Those who prefer to model casually while keeping their main job should find out more about modelling as a side job — this is also a real and lucrative option.

Financial Outlook — What models really earn

One of the most common questions is: How much does a model earn? The answer depends heavily on the board, the market and the experience. One thing is clear: Reputable agencies do not ask for upfront fees. Those who want to know whether a model agency charges money will find clear answers there. Summary: A model agency without fees is the only acceptable model — anything else is a warning sign.

Frequently asked questions about the CM Rooftop Casting Berlin

Who is the casting suitable for — do I need experience?

No, experience is not a requirement. CM Models is specifically looking for new faces without an agency background. What matters most is presence, willingness to learn and the right appearance. If you’re just starting out and wondering what steps to become a model look like, you’ll find a structured step-by-step overview there.

What does participation in the casting cost?

The casting itself is free of charge. CM Models operates as a model agency without fees — this is an important quality feature. If an agency ever asks for advance payments for castings or sedcards, you should be cautious. Read more about this under model agency paying money.

How do I apply and what happens afterwards?

You apply via the online form — apply now and submit all the required information and photos. After reviewing your documents, you will receive an invitation or a response with feedback. If you receive an invitation, a personal casting will take place on 26th or 27th April in Berlin. Those who wish can also get more deeply involved with the topic of casting preparation in advance.

Are there castings in other cities as well?

Yes. CM Models is not only active in Berlin. For everyone outside the capital, it’s worth looking at the opportunities with a model agency in Hamburg or the offers around becoming a model in Frankfurt. Those who want to apply directly to CM Models can do so without a local casting — simply contact a model agency and introduce yourself.
