Practice Listening: Summarize Spoken Text ID: #4108 Medium Supermodel
Instructions
Trisha: Well Glyn, you’re been called the first male supermodel. Would you agree with that? Glyn: Not really Trisha, to be honest, I think having a famous designer as a wife helps up my profile, and there are one or two other male models who are household names. Trisha: Was that how you got into the fashion world? I mean through your wife’s contacts. Glyn: Yes and no. I was working as a catwalk model when I met Regina here in Milan - she was showing her latest collection - and I had already done bits and bobs of catalogue stuff, but it wasn’t until we got it together that I started appearing in fashion magazines like Vogue and Vanity Fair. Trisha: So it has helped then? Glyn: Oh definitely. There are so many guys out there, which makes it pretty competitive. Before Regina, I really had to work at it. I was constantly sending out portfolios to agencies and doing auditions. Trisha: And now? Glyn: It’s a lot different. I can pick and choose more or less. Trisha: So, if you don’t like the look of a new collection then you pass. Glyn: No, it’s not like that. I think a professional can model anything – whatever the colour, pattern or cut. It’s the type of work that decides it for me. Trisha: What do you mean? Glyn: I don’t do show seasons anymore. I’ve been sticking almost exclusively to print work. Trisha: And I hear you are planning a career change? Glyn: Yes, yes it’s true. Regina and I are setting up our own agency so if you fancy a job as a scout, Trisha, just let me know.
