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 did my research, as always I read all the good and bad comments... the bad ones stand out people complaining how expensive it is. As I read deeper, all the success stories, I was reminded of a mentor of mine. He once said to me, Stephanie if you got talent you got it! if you don't you don't! Whats the worst they can say? It's No! Then another mentor of mine said, Stephanie if your going to study a subject, let's say you want to become a Doctor, you'll need years of training! After that residency, after that every year training to keep your license! I signed up for the classes and never looked back!

I really enjoyed working with Samuel, and recommend his company to anyone looking for talent in the San Diego/LA area.

Can't find this company on the California State Database for Talent Agencies. Link at bottom…read more Most people usually post their Talent License Number on the website-there's None. SDMM claims; "California State Talent Agency Commission licensed and bonded for your protection." There's also many negative reviews on the web. As a person involved with models, I was asked to look into this. In Cal to be an Agent, you'll need to be licensed and bonded. Which means liability insurance, business lic, bond, and workers comp w/employees. If approved, you're given a Talent Lic Number. That's usually posted on the website, per it shows you're for real. It's a short list on the Cal database. Most people are managers. Add, on SDMM site for policies, 1 is photos can't be used for personal sites-blogs, unless approved earlier. It's 2024, with IG, Tiktok, FaceBk. Where are models getting their photos and do they have limited use? https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/dlse-databases.htm

I understand I'm this industry it take money to make money, however the agents haven't gotten my daughter one single booking and I truly wish I could sue or find means to get my money back.

As a parent who doesn't have it like that but want to see my child excel and stride for better I went against my better judgement and trusted these people and it's been almost a year being signed with them and she hasn't gotten one job/ gig.

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.
