Shelly's Pageant Coaching

 

Since every pageant and pageant systems have different rules that is a hard question to answer in a general way. The best way to find out is call the director and ask. 

 

Usually the title holder is required to make appearances to represent the title. Some pageants ask that you fulfill a certain amount of obligations a year. I ask my title holders to make six a year for the pageants I direct. 

 

It is to your own benefit to fit in as many extra appearances on your own that you can fit into your own schedule. These appearances sharpen your pageantry amd presentation skills. Plus you can build a fan base for your pageant career. You will make a lot of contacts that make help your other business endeavors. 

 

You may be asked to make appearances at charity events, social extravaganzas, ride in parades, retirement homes, high school football games, etc. 

 

If the pageant doesn't have in's own non-profit, charity or other worthy cause for you to speak on the use the opportunity to promote Your own special cause.  Definetly offer to go to other pageants. Offer to assist the director by doing behind the scenes type jobs. One job that keeps you visible to the audience is as a Specialty Judge. Your job will be to pick up the judges score sheets and bring them to the auditor who tallys the contestants rankings.  I ask my title holders to make six a year for the pageants I direct. 

 

If you ride in parades try to find some one who owns a classic convertible automobile. You might have an uncle or cousin with a cool car. Tell him its a great way to meet chicks. Use your psychology and sales skills.

 

Make this reign the most exciting and satisfying experience possible. 

 

If you want to be a titleholder for a beauty pageant be prepared to take the ride of your life. Your director will expect it of you so tell her in advance that you look forward to representing her pageant. Let the judges know and let the audience know through your words, your attitude and the stunning image you display.

Question: I want to compete in pageants but I don't know which system I should compete with. Which should I choose?

 

Answer: Your choice depends on what your goals are and what you plan to accomplish through Pageantry. Some people use the experience of pageantry to help sharpen their skills for acquiring a job.

 

The interview portion of competition forces you to improve your understanding of the world around you so you can speak intelligently about any subject. Facing unknown judges who will score you based on the way you respond to their questions is very similar to the job application interview process.

 

Some use this experience to expand their communication skills to help land a job in journalism and broadcasting.

 

Others look at pageants as a way to test their physical presentation skills as they launch a modelling career. Walking the runway at a beauty contest is just as stressful as displaying the latest designer clothes at an upscale fashion show.

 

Another motivation for contestants is to recieve scholarship funds to help pay for higher education.

 

Decide what is your prime reason for entering competition. If you are interested in career development then any of the pageant systems will offer you an outlet top improve the necessary skills. But if you are interested in scholorships and raising funds for educational reason then the Miss America System is the approbriate choice for you. The America Pageant system's focus is on improving the lives of women through positive experiences and educational growth.

 

The USA system is more suited to those who want to explore the glamorous side. If you are heading down the modelling and acting path the USA system is a better choice.

 

The Miss Plus System are designed for larger full bodied women and girls who don't fit the typical beauty queen image. This system is designed to give plus size women a chance to experience the same thrill of walking down the runway, competing with their peers, and honing their life skills in the process.

 

There are many new systems popping up around the globe but the two business models they resemble are based on the Miss America and the USA System.

 

Research any pageant you are considering and look to see which one best assist you in reaching your goals.
