FAQ
What is Talent Connection?
Talent connection is a model and talent training company that specializes in marketing clients to top agencies and casting directors while educating them on the industry.
We train and develop our talent in modeling and acting skills while building their confidence and helping them reach their fullest potential.
Is Talent Connection an agency?
Talent connection is not a talent agency; therefore, we are not required to hold an agency license. We are a talent development company that does not procure employment.
What are you looking for when you hold interviews/auditions?
We look at several factors when making the decision whether or not to accept a potential client. Some of the factors are: personality, temperament, enthusiasm, confidence, and their look (cute or unique). We are looking for that spark that sets them apart from everyone else.
Do you accept everyone?
No, we do not accept everyone who auditions for us. We accept only those we feel are right for the industry. Keep in mind, our purpose is to market clients to top industry professionals and present them with talent that is trained and workable.
What does it cost?
We do not charge a fee to bring talent on board, nor do we take any commissions. The cost involved really depends on what you wan to do. You will need marketing materials (photos, zed cards) so that we can market you to the agents and casting directors. We also provide training classes to improve skills, confidence, and self-esteem. We have many workshops available but they are not required.
If you like my kid enough, will you pay for their training and pictures?
This is a big misconception! Although your child may be cute, no one will pay for your child's marketing materials. It's no different than parents investing in a musical instrument, sports equipment, or uniforms. Keep in mind, this is a business, and agents will only send professional pictures to their clients (Macy's, Pottery Barn, Old Navy, Gap, etc.). Professional "industry standard" photos/zed cards are how your child will get their auditions/jobs and it's an indication that they are serious and professional talent.
Does the training really help?
Yes, he training definitely helps. As in any field, preparation increases your chances of landing a job. It is always encouraged that you find ways to improve your skills. In our workshops we will help you with a wide variety of concepts to assist you and prepare you for a professional setting. Casting directors expect clients to know what to do and how to behave on-set. They do not provide "on-the-job training". We will teach you how to audition, what to expect, and the essentials of professionalism. Training sets you up to succeed!
Does this really work?
Yes, our clients get work! Our clients are consistently signed by agents and casting directors. Our clients can be seen in newspaper ads, magazine covers, catalogs, commercials, and movies!
