I cannot say enough good things about my time with Scott Copeland Talent. It has been 7 years since I initially signed on with Scott and I still work very closely with him on my acting career. One of the things I appreciate most is how careful he is. He does not rush into anything. If you are inpatient then this might not be for you. For instance, he told me right off the bat that I would have to train in professional acting schools for at least a year before he would even think about introducing me to anyone. During this time I got plenty of modeling work and appeared in magazines and even shot a national commercial that ended up making me over 40 thousand dollars, so it isn't like I wasn't working during this time. But I wasn't auditioning for acting roles. Again, it is a lot of training. If you are someone who likes to rush into things then Scott is probably not the person for you. However, most actors in Hollywood try to start with a lower-level agent and get some credits until they can move up to a slightly better agent and hope to eventually work their way up to a top agent. This is not how Scott works. When he finally felt I was ready to approach agents (and when my professional acting teachers agreed) he introduced me straight to one of the top management companies in Hollywood, called Untitled Entertainment. I am still in shock that I am able to work with this incredible team of people. This is the management company that represents Daniel Day-Lewis, Hilary Swank, Jeremy Renner, Ashton Kutcher, and many more. They are amazing. I would never have been able to get attached to such an A-list company without Scott's careful guidance. For the past few years I have been auditioning for great projects and just shot my first feature film last year for the Syfy channel. I cannot believe my good fortune for having the privilege of working with Scott. I hope to continue doing so for many years! read more

It was a chance meeting I had with Scott in New York, that upended my life. The life that unfolded for me there would not have been but for this haphazard encounter. Strangely, I'd been there already for a year and a half, having come from Arizona for a modeling convention held at the Waldorf-Astoria. I did not win, but I opted to stay in NY even though at conventions end I had just $60 left in my pocket. I remember seeing a girl on the street, carrying a porfolio and somehow I learned she was on her way to a photographer's studio, and she invited me to come along. At the studio, I happened to meet Scott Copeland in the doorway. He must have seen something in me that the photographer didn't. But Scott was still in the early days of his management career, having already had his first major success not so many months prior, with another male model. Scott patiently worked with me, talking to me about the business and instructing me on how to walk into a meeting; what to wear, what to say, and how to carry myself. He really seemed to care about helping me to make a successful transition and had real confidence in my potential. I was working a menial job when one day I called Scott and he told me I'd gotten a job for GQ with a major photographer. I went from the magazine shoot in California to Mexico City to work for Calvin Klein, and soon, with a GQ cover, a worldwide campaign and a billboard in Times Square had quite accidentally become a top model. Anyway, I just wanted to share that story. Speaking with him now and again, and seeing him not so long ago, it is apparent to me that he still has an uncanny ability to spot talent. If anything, he's probably better just for his years on the planet! And wiser still, for all his experience. Best, Barry K. read more

I recieved a yelp notification, checked it out and was actually shocked to see a negtive review about Scott Copeland International. My son was referred to Scott close to 5 years ago when he was 15. Not only did Scott take him under his wings as "his project" but my son's life was forever changed and impacted in ways that even Scott was not aware of. Yes, Scott has had some huge successes with Abercrombie and he doesn't hesitiate to give you a full portfollio of his impressive clientelle but.....he never once promised us anything. He embraced my son's looks and potential and immediately jumped right in insisting that Brandon check in with him daily until Scott was comfortable with Brandons level of committment and regiment. Within the year Brandon referred another friend of his to Scott, with no experience whatsoever and today she has worked with Ford Agency, is international and very happy. Scott is conservative, laid back, authentic, HONEST about what he thinks (which isn't always the easiest to digest), and very passionate about his and your career. He taught my son that this industry takes 200% committment and is not for the faint at heart and from our experience, if this is your dream, and Scott is on board, He's the man that'll help you make it happen!!!! read more

Modeling was never really on our radar--until one day at the mall, Scott Copeland discovered my older son. What immediately stood out was Scott's honesty, professionalism, and the way he truly sees and nurtures potential. As he began preparing my older son for the modeling world, he also met my younger son, Niklas. Scott started working with him as well, and after just a few months of training and development, Niklas was signed by Brand Talent, one of the top kids' agencies in Los Angeles. Shortly after signing, Niklas booked his very first job--something we never would have imagined just a few months earlier. Throughout this entire process, Scott has been a steady and trustworthy guide. He emphasizes balance, always reinforcing that health and education come first, and he's been incredibly supportive of me as a parent, answering questions and making sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. Scott's experience, integrity, and dedication have made this journey not only successful, but enjoyable. I'm so grateful for the doors he's opened for my sons, and for the care and wisdom he brings to the process. Thank you, Scott! read more

Scott copeland international has been nothing but professional and straight forward with me . In his ads he states conservative and that is exactly what he has delivered a conservative approach. Never false promises and no false hopes of any work or large amounts of money. He trains his clients for potential modeling jobs and teaches professionalism and grace and very high standards are expected if work comes their way. Scott also expects those high standards from anyone in the business he might send his clients too for photographs or jobs. When first meeting Scott he emphasized that school and grades comes first . That to me is very important my daughter is a 4.0 student with president honors . That impressed me about Scott's company. I would highly recommend Scott Copeland international to anyone in fact I have and will continue to do so. Scott Copeland international is a conservative, professional company that I see working with for a long time to come. Being a former model myself I wish I would have had scott as my agent and company. I have nothing but praise for Scott, his employees, and his company. read more

I was scouted by Scott's agency as a high school student about ten years ago. I worked with him for about 3 years. He set me up with a reputable talent agency in Los Angeles (Elite). I worked in print, runway, and film. I was booked for national magazines, commercials, and motion pictures. Scott has excellent contacts and a very good reputation among professionals in the business. He was extremely supportive throughout the whole process, which can be overwhelming for a young person. Some of the negative reviews mention that he takes money up front. This is because he is making an investment in you, putting together a card and portfolio, which are required to participate in casting calls. It is then up to you as the talent to get yourself to appointments and put in the work to get jobs. The money will return to you once you start working. I had a fantastic experience with Scott. The experiences in the industry provided me with poise and interviewing skills. The money I earned allowed me to further my education. If you are seriously considering working as a model or actor, SCI is a great place to start. read more

About two and half years ago I was scouted by Scott Copeland at the Del Mar Fair in the begginging of the summer. Couple weeks later I went into his office and after taking polaroids and having a face to face meeting at his office in La Jolla, he signed me there on the spot with a legal contract completely free of charge.Includes retainer fee, contract payment, multiple shoots set up with top LA Photographers and everything else to this date. I'am currently signed with San Diego Model Management, Brand Talent of Orange County and was signed with LA Models last year. Currently Im going to meet with Vision of LA and am in connection with Ford and IMG of NY. His precise dedication to my career and success has been so helpful since day one when I was thirteen and has catapulted my passion to where Iam today. He has great contacts and an excellent name in the buisness to give the best and most professional work you could recieve. He works with all ages of talent and if your serious about a career in the buisness of modeling, acting or such talents, SCI is a great base and management buisness. read more

I was very surprised to notice the last review for Scott Copeland. I have known and worked with Scott Copeland for more than twenty years. He runs a very upstanding and morally correct business. In fact Scott Copeland is known for putting the safety of his clients on the top of his priority list. Many clients and especially parents of the models and actors have been very happy with the results of their children's careers and the associations the models and actors developed in an industry that has pitfalls for those that are unfamiliar with who to work with and who to avoid. For anyone to make these accusations must be looking to prop themselves up by putting others down and if there is ever a dispute about money Scott as always treated all of his clients fairly. Lawrence R. has made a mistake or is trying to cause trouble for someone who works hard and gets stellar results. read more

I've had an absolutely great experience working with Scott so far. Scott approached me near my home on the street one day to introduce himself. That week, I met with him at his office and he sold me on the dream. Months later, that dream is rapidly becoming realized, as after completing training, I've been signed and have begun working in a matter of weeks. I cannot express my gratitude for this man enough; I would be totally lost in this industry without his guidance and experience. He runs a very principled, transparent business and does things completely and correctly. He has also been willing to work with me to ensure that finances would not be a barrier to us being able to work together.  If this company approaches you in hopes of realizing your potential, take them seriously! Working with Scott has been the best decision I've made since trying to break into the industry. read more

Having Scott as my manager was the best thing I ever did in my life so far. I started working with him and within 3 weeks he booked me for the Abercrombie & Fitch Campaign and I got on the shopping bags, posters in the store and perfume. Afterwards within 3 months I went to Milan Italy for my first show season and did the campaign for Pierre Cardin and runway shows for Salvatore Ferragamo. I have been back to Milan many times and the highlight of my career there was doing the Emporio Armani and Giorgio Armani shows. He also helped me with getting a contract with an agency in Tokyo and I have been there twice for two and three months. Modeling has been a great experience and without Scott I don't think I could have done or would have wanted to do it. He pushed me and motivated me. Love you Scott thanks for everything :) Ariel read more

I can't say enough good stuff about Scott Copeland! In 2004 I was surfing in San Diego when I met Scott for the first time. He told me that he could possibly land me the Abercrombie and Fitch campaign and of course I was skeptical. I had never modeled before and agreed to give it a shot. I met Scott at his office to do a test shoot and 10 days later, just as he had promised, I was in Rome Italy doing the Abercrombie campaign. He is a first class professional, honest, laid back, and extremely well-connected. After booking Abercrombie he sent me to Milan where he booked jobs for me including the Armani runways shows, Versace, Trussardi, and others. Scott is the real deal and I will always be indebted to him for all that he did for me. I'd be happy to talk to any prospective clients about him anytime! -Jason Landon, Los Angeles read more

Hey I'm new to Yelp and had to join. When I believe in a business I want people to know what's beneficial and what is not when I'm truly dissatisfied. My daughter has been with Scott for sometime now and It has been a great experience for her and I, as a parent. Scott has been nothing but professional when it comes to the business of modeling and he is also friendly. It took us a while only because Scott is truthful and if you aren't cut out for this industry he will let you know. (not everyone can handle that). Sarah had a few inches to lose and she was instructed to do it in a healthy way. She has her model cards, portfolio and instructions on what to look out for and what to do when going on interviews. I thank Scott and his staff for everything they have done and I know my daughter has a bright future ahead. read more

SCI is a great agency to work with. I have been with him for less than a year and he got me right into building my portfolio with amazing, kind photographers. I was nervous that once I went to a photo shoot outside Scott, that it would be harsh and what the business seems to be like from my interpretation from movies and such. However, being with SCI has shown me that there is a way to keep modeling positive and fun and the people I have worked with through him have all been amazing and positive figures in my life. I would recommend Scott to anyone looking for an agency. He really seems to care about getting you work and helping you become successful. I have not regretted signing and he helped me sign with San Diego Model Management to further my work. Great people working here and a great conservative agency! read more

My daughter signed with SCI after being scouted by David Peck at Restoration Hardware Fashion Valley. We were initially hesitant to call because we had heard of the dangers surrounding the industry but their conservative approach and direction was very appealing. Knowing very little of this business it quickly became evident how difficult it would be to navigate this industry without SCI. After training and preperation, SCI arranged a summer trip to Italy for my daughter. She did some excellent work and had a great experience. Since returning, she's been working locally and we are looking forward to many more jobs. Overall we are thankful for a company like SCI as they have been an intergral part in her success and their process doesn't interfere with my daughters education and personal growth. read more

Working with Scott has been a great experience... From helping me understand the business to preparing me to market myself to providing practice opportunities for acting and modeling, he's been professional and understanding throughout the entire process. I am relatively new to this work and one of Scott's older clients but he has done a great job introducing me to the right people and getting my name and face out there... I received a job offer days after I got my portfolio pictures taken, which would have paid $200 per hour had my work schedule permitted me to take it. Decisions are made as a team and Scott has been upfront, realistic and fair in both what's expected of me and what I can hope to expect for success in the business; but also determined in maximizing my potential. read more

My teenage daughter was scouted by David when she was with me at the bank. We met with Scott and she decided to give modeling a shot. I wasnt able to pay the fee at the time we signed. They set her up w photographers and she got some fotos. Then she signed with a top agency in LA. and has been getting work. I called Scott and said, "dont I owe u some $?" He said they will collect the fee when she makes over $15,000. The way things are going, that will be soon :). I love Scott and David, they took such good care of my daughter, trained her, got her a wonderful agent, and believed that she could do this, and that made her believe she could too. Big plans for her future, and I trust them implicitly with the course they are designing for her, Scott knows what he is doing. read more

Scott Copeland told me he would be able to book me work for his talent agency.Instead, he charged me a $1500 retainer fee that he would never actually refund to me. I had to pay an additional $1000 for two photo-shoots and a few hundred for comp cards. After spending all of this money he did not introduce me to a single client. After doing some research I have found a large number of similar experiences from fellow hopeful models and have noted 20+ fake Yelp reviews made for his company. Avoid this place no matter what!!! It should be shut down for the thousands of dollars they have stolen from hopeful models. His argument is that it is the model's fault!Interesting argument considering I've signed with two top agencies in NYC ever since my contract ended! read more

My niece is working with Scott Copeland International and being that her parents are living oversees, I have taken on the role of making sure that she is taken care of properly. Scott Copeland called her parents and talked about the entire career path that could become available for my niece and so far she is doing extremely well working with them. The company is solid, conservative and makes sure that each and every model is protected from any unusual scams that are out there. I saw my niece's portfolio grow, her go sees are constant and she is making great money being a model with them! I highly recommend the agency and feel that any new model that wants to be represented well should take a look at Scott Copeland International. read more

I've been with SCI for almost 2 years now and I have no complaints. Being a sophomore in high school at the time I was very concerned about any conflicts with my schedule. However, Scott has made it very clear over the years that school is always a priority which I greatly appreciate. Not only has Scott set me up with photographers and agencies, but he has also mentored me to be the model in am today. SCI also emphasizes his conservative approach to modeling, and he has always ensured that I don't enter any situation that is inappropriate for my age. Scott has been a great help to my modeling career and I can't wait to see where it takes me. If anyone is looking for a conservative model management company, I highly recommend SCI. read more
