Here's a long overdue update. Both my daughters signed and are still signed with No Ties (they are…read morenow 24 1/2 and nearly 23 yrs old- started each at about 15yrs old). They are the mother of all Mother Agencies. That means they are the project managers for all other agencies and jobs. My daughters are signed in NYC, Australia, Germany, Italy, etc. and all jobs funnels through No Ties and they manage payments etc. One of my daughters shoots for Kylie Cosmetics averaging once a month x2+ years, Uban Decay, BCBG, and has done some shows. My other daughter (a bit taller) does the shows; Dolche & Gabana in Rome, Chanel in Paris, Nicold Miller many times, HotShop, and so many more (it's been years and it's all a blur). They have a great 5 figures in a Fidelity account and are about to start a Roth. The biggest thing they needed to learn was taxes. Their payments are not taxed so they have to do estimated quarterlies or be prepared for a big chunk at tax time. You should find a tax preparer specifically experienced in modeling preparation- teach them in advance about penalties and interest if they don't pay on time. Hard lesson to learn the wrong way. They should save reciepts and be organized. Your child will learn life experiences because they have to be self motivated, learn good time management, business skills, etc. Both my girls were a little shellshocked at first , away from home. They both "hated" NYC initially but now are full on New Yorkers. No Ties is a great place to start your/your child's modeling career if they are signed.

She will get you auditions, coach you on what and what not to do. She will recommend workshops that helped a little for me. What you will learn is YOU have to put in the work in the beginning, sometimes work for free or low pay, and it requires investments on your part to get going. Paying for quality head shots. Signing up and paying for the Casting Networks website. YOU have to submit for gigs as well. She will help you write your resume but again, there is a lot you need to do on your own. A great way to get started in the business and learn what to do. Once you get an agent, you can back off on self-submitting. I wound up getting two "under five" roles on soap operas, got cast in a featured role in a well-known reality show, and many commercials. I eventually transitioned back into a full-time regular job, BUT did community theatre in San Diego County, which really honed my skills and gave me confidence. As I approach retirement, I plan to pursue acting full-time again. The negative Yelp reviews on Camie and HTA are from those that are not willing to put in the hours and do the work.

His long record of success and current successes gave me confidence and determination so I gave modeling a second chance. Once he was satisfied with my presentation (hair, health, interview skills, pictures, outfits) he sent me to meet his clients and I immediately started booking work. I absolutely recommend this company to anybody who wants a healthy, conservative introduction to modeling and acting. I am currently very busy and I look forward to a promising future and career thanks to Scott and his work, and I don't know how I could ever repay him for helping me regain my confidence in the industry and myself!

I was coming off a low point in my party planning career when the entertainment failed to show for my son's 4th. It was a disaster. So when I decided to hire a pirate for his 5th birthday party, I had to be sure the talent company was reliable and good. They came through like champs. I wish I could give them 10 stars. It started with Anthony Bollotta, who was my original point of contact. He followed up with my emails quickly, and even apologized for not getting an immediate answer to a few of my questions. He provided quotes for several pirate options. I picked the one that suited my pocket book and my son's interests the best. Knowing my situation, he offered to conduct a phone call with the pirate a few days in advance. This set me at ease because I knew exactly the plan for the party. From that conversation I also knew that he would actually show up. On the day of the event, Bollotta sent a coordinator to our house in advance. Part of the pirate's shtick was a full-house treasure hunt. The coordinator scouted the house for treasure hotspots and made sure we were still comfortable with the plan. Finally, at precisely the time we agreed, Captain Scurvy appeared in full pirate costume. THE KIDS WENT WILD. He engaged them in games, sword fighting, balloon making, and treasure hunting. I had about 20 5-year old boys there and they were all enamored with him. It was totally perfect. He and his assistant followed up after the party, too. Throughout everything he was personable and attentive. I am so happy I found them, and I intend to use them again for other parties in the future.

The woman representing Bollotta Entertainment, and making sure all of their vendors were on time and in place etc. was just as spectacular, Judy was her name. If you need any entertainment or for that matter just about anything that it takes to put on a great event, DON'T THINK TWICE Contact Bollotta Entertainment firs! You won't regret it!
