How do fashion models walk down a runway?

I'm thinking of entering a beauty contest. I'm wondering if there is a special way to walk down the runway. Incidentally, I'm male, but the best answer would include information useful for either guys or gals.

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

The best instructional video for men that I could find is a little...feminine...with lots of hip swaying (which is obviously what you don't want). But the core concepts are there, such as how to place your feet and whatnot. If you compare it to the Versace video, you get the idea:

Common advice to both male and female models includes watching how you walk in a full-length mirror or, preferably, a video. If you watch clips of models and then clips of yourself, you can pinpoint where you might need work.

You could practice walking with a book on the top of your head. The book must not fall off. This could guide you on walking straight. That's the most basic I know... ^^

Anyway, here are some sites that could help you...

Any links for how a guy would walk and pose? I imagine inhaling to expand the chest while arching and throwing one arm back, and sucking in the stomach during pauses would be helpful. But walking with one foot in front of the other to sway the hips would look a bit effeminate?

Just walk like you are walking on a line one foot in front of the other and put some personality into it. Also, try to glide.
