Why New York City

We are looking for you

Bart Starr's Rockstarr Media is looking for girls in New York City who have never modeled before. No agency, no portfolio and no professional photos needed.

Maybe you work a hotel front desk in Midtown, serve near Times Square, sell on Fifth Avenue or in a SoHo boutique, or work a rooftop bar in the Meatpacking District. You already spend every day talking to strangers, staying calm when it gets busy and looking put together on your feet. That is exactly what casting looks for.

College girls are welcome too, from New York University, Columbia University, Fashion Institute of Technology (SUNY), The New School (Parsons School of Design) or Fordham University. We especially want to hear from girls who cheered or danced in high school or college. Performing for a crowd, holding a smile through a long routine and taking coaching are exactly what casting looks for.

It is not only modeling. When you apply you can choose Model, Actress, Festival Reporter or Backstage VIP Correspondent, and girls 21 and older can audition to host our travel series JET SETTERS.

New York's calendar never stops: the TCS New York City Marathon on November 1, the New York International Auto Show at the Javits Center from March 26 to April 4, 2027, and New York Comic Con at the Javits Center from October 7 to 10, 2027.

Every application is reviewed by our casting team. Not everyone is selected. We set New York casting dates based on who signs up, so the sooner you apply, the sooner you are in front of us. It takes about three minutes on your phone.

Close to New York City? We want to hear from you too: Hoboken, Jersey City, Weehawken, Fort Lee, Newark, Hackensack, Paramus, Yonkers, New Rochelle, White Plains, Hempstead, Garden City, Long Beach, Stamford CT.

There's more out there

New York City is a big stage. The world is bigger.

You know every corner of New York. If you have ever wondered what it would be like to fly somewhere new for a booking, see the world and come home with a story, apply. Bookings and travel are a chance, never a promise, but you can't get picked if you never apply.

Who we want to hear from

Already working a shift?

Girls 18 and older in New York City, New York who have never modeled before are exactly who this is for. We especially want to hear from servers, waitresses, bartenders, hostesses, baristas and retail workers: you already know how to talk to strangers, stay calm under pressure and look put together for a long day on your feet. Those are the things casting looks for, and most people who walk into a casting have never done any of them.
