I have had jobs ranging from being a background character in a Life Time movie, dressing up as Charles Lindberg taking pictures at a Pratt and Whitney family day event, numerous runway shows featuring brands like Gant & Men's Wearhouse, modeling compression socks for Tommy Copper & T-Shirts for Bob's Stores, and commercials for Saybrook Home & Wheeler Clinic to name a few. I did not quit my day job to pursue modeling and acting but I have used it as a way to network, creating some extra income, and to build a resume for when I do retire I am already educated and ready to really have some fun with it. Best thing you can do for yourself is be your best self and Tina does a great job showcasing that.

She instructs folks of all ages including kids, to register with personal information including address photos and DOB on the Agency Pro website. She requires kids to have their own email besides their parents. Only after the responding parties have taken that much effort is the teen notified that their account will be invisible until they pay for an upgrade. If your Teen is smart enough to walk away at this point HVC will begin a campaign of phishing to the email addresses you provided- email after email from addressing my child by name urging the child to subscribe for hundreds of dollars offering "limited time" discounts - for what? The chance to stand in a crowd for $120 ? Ms Eklund may once have been legitimate but she's now involved in widespread fraud that targets children her name and business name is at the top of every email.

This business isn't for the thinned skinned and you have to be prepared for some rejection and criticism along the way. I am so thankful to have Lynne looking out for my girls. I trust her judgement 100% as we navigate this crazy business.

ANYWAY.. Telsey and Co cast for everything from musicals and plays to commercials and feature films. They moved to 43d street actually and their new offices are very welcoming. The waiting room is HUGE and has lots of posters, and is painted green which I learned is supposed to be a 'calming' color....right... because the hyperventilation before I auditioned for Spider man today was simply a figment of my imagination.. The bathrooms deserve a shout out. Huge stalls, plenty of light from giant windows, and enough mirrrors to accommodate approximately 15 worried musical theater divas, or 20 regular ladies.(they tend to not travel with curling irons therefore take up less space) Anyway, thumbs up on the new location, auditioning here makes me feel important and a teeny weeny big more calm than other places.

All the instructions of where to be and what to do were very clear (which was good because I was new) and I met so many great people. I also was paid promptly afterwards. I would definitely work with this company again. Thank you!
