What experience do you have in modeling on imvu?

The only experience in modeling I have ever had was when I was simply buying pose packs and hitting triggers. But then lately I have started to become sensitive to what I was doing when I was hitting each pose. That’s when I started to wear each outfit I have in my inventory and hit each pose in order to see which pose fitted best for each outfit. I absolutely loved posing in front of the camera and I often take great shots of myself. It once hit me whether it was possible to model in IMVU for virtual products, stickers and banners. That’s when I started to take interest in serious modeling of IMVU. I really don’t have much experience in the modeling world of IMVU but it doesn’t stop me from wanting to be one. And I don’t want to simply be ‘a model’. I want to be a great model! After typing up many Google searches such as “IMVU model” or “modeling in IMVU” I explored the different IMVU agencies that are here. I found the TM’s group website and I looked at the portfolios of the TMNTM winners. Those portfolios were beautiful and it inspired me to become an IMVU model. Then a quick yet an amazing opportunity came for me to prove myself as a serious model and that was Cycle 3. It was a tough and vigorous competition and I met many fierce and tough models who are all aiming to become the Top. I absolutely enjoyed my experience and what I enjoyed most was all the vibes that I felt from every model I met from Cycle 3. These were the vibes of ferocity, ambitiousness and competitiveness. These colorful vibes that was shared by us all expanded my sight and kept my spirit up. I wanted to live up to these feelings. I grew to love modeling more and more. I delight in the brutality and the pleasure in modeling.  I felt that becoming TMNTM winner was a big accomplishment for me but I know that this is just the beginning because I have just become a representative of TM’s modeling agency. I have to do more than just sit there with an impressive title. There are so many things I want to accomplish as a model and I will never stop until I fulfill my goals.

Why are you the best candidate to be an IMVU model?

I have confidence in my abilities to be a great model which is why I can see myself as the best candidate. I have a very beautiful and stylish avatar. I am a perfectionist and I always try to be professional at all times. I try to meet the expectations of a great model but not just by depending on the variety of pose packs that I have. I am sensitive to what kind of poses I should put on when I model but I am also sensitive to other aspects such as hairstyles and skin tones. I have never modeled for any developer before but I am confident in my skills of being able to take in their directions. When modeling I also like to stick to my style and tastes but I also appreciate the different styles of other people as it helps to further expand my knowledge and experience in modeling. I also like to keep my style flexible so that I can blend in smoothly to different sorts of styles going from Goth to Casual to Vintage to Wilderness and I believe that bearing this flexibility is a key quality to becoming a great model. I am always learning and I have learnt a great deal while I was competing to become a TMNTM winner. I delight in the brutality and the pleasure of modeling.

How was your experience as a TMNTM contestant?

I was an amateur in modeling and I did not have much of a clear picture of what modeling in IMVU is. To be honest, I thought it was just fancy pixels but later I understood that it wasn’t as easy as it sounds. Otherwise why would we bother having such competitions as this? Why would we bother to have cool avatars and poses? So I decided to put myself into a challenge and TMNTM became a key to the door of a different realm in IMVU. Without any notably experience or ever modeled for a developer, I decided to enter TMNTM. Of course I was nervous, but I was also fascinated and excited. I learnt a great deal about modeling very quickly during the competition and I tried to improve myself after each photoshoot. I always asked myself, “Hmm… how can I do better than I did last time? What should I do?” I followed the themes and directions as closely as I can. I was fierce and competitive and I posed as professionally as I can to convey great pictures for each photoshoot. I always did my best. TMNTM was vigorous and competitive. I watched the other models give it their all. They all share the same ambition of wanting to be the TMNTM winner and I believe that was what made the competition vibrant and exciting. I became serious and sensitive when I was gathering my experience in the competition. I was earnest when I said to myself, “I want to be the best. I must make it to the Top” and I believe that was the key to my success. Modeling was not easy. In fact it was brutal and there were times when I had a sense of frustration overwhelming me but I did not want to stop. Just because I made it this far doesn’t mean that I can’t go further. In fact, it was the very brutality and the competitiveness that kept me going and I undeniably had a a experience when competing to become TM’s Next Top Model.

Soalina's advice to upcoming Contestants

For future contestants of Cycle 4 and many other thrilling Cycles to come, I have a very age old advice for you that you heard from any old gaga next door: Do NOT give up. Ever had this feeling that puts you down and make you think you are not worth it? Did you ever think that it was too late? Well guess what it is not the end of the world. If you have lost a Cycle, go to the next one. Get your gear and move it. Pay attention to your old gaga next door because he or she is wise. Don’t let the feeling of frustration get to you. Yes the key word here is frustration and it’s a bad feeling. Every normal and abnormal person feels it but hey, if you want to become the next top model, I repeat: Do NOT give up. And for those who have never modeled before stay cool and just chill. Sure you’ll feel nervous but stay cool anyway because it’s important that you also have fun. And this age old advice that came from your old gaga next door must be repeated to you too: Do NOT give up!

Her thanks

My experience in modeling started by taking pics of myself for myself, I just loved posing and getting poses and putting outfits together and getting  great shots! and after that the tm's next top model contest made me improve a lot as a model, always listening to the advice, and in the end winning the title as tm's next top model, now I won't stop until I get some serious developer deals! because I love modeling! and I wanna do it big! 

Why are you the best candidate to be an imvu model?

I think I'm a great candidate as a model because I'm not only a good looking avi but I know how to take directions from photographers or developers, i'm professional all the time, I have many poses, and the best of all I can deliver a great picture I can transform myself and go from goth to prep I can model anything, and I manage to communicate through it and that's the most important thing of all to say something with yours pics, like they say an image says more than a thousand words.

What experience do you have in modeling on imvu?

My experience in Modeling on imvu is  joining a lot of modeling groups and taking a lot of pictures. I also at the time was getting stickers created of me from some friends. Recently as you know I joined the TMNTM and at that point I bought about 8 more different groups of poses.The experience from TMNTM made me want to model even more then I already was modeling.

Why are you the best candidate to be an imvu model?

I think I'm the best candidate because like many I started out from little to nothing in my modeling experience and soon was being invited into a lot of different modeling groups. I am very committed to modeling on IMVU and try not miss any chance to do it.

How was your experience as a TMNTM contestant?

Well being a contestant is nothing easy and joining was a big wake up call to the hard work Tiff puts into this made me want to come to all the shoots I could. I was very nervous checking each time to see if I made it or not. It is very hard seeing all these good models go and knowing you might go next.But not giving up was a very important part in this competition too.I love cameras and taking pictures so I think as much as this was hard it was super fun!
