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.

Will has pretty much everything you could ever ask for in an agent; cool, clam and collected, knowledgeable, transparent and an overall good human. He has really taken the time to understand my vibe and sends me out for auditions that are right on target. I also really appreciate the fact that he has kept his roaster small, choosing to stack the deck with quality talent that he really believes in and knows how to market, rather than playing the numbers game. It's only been six months, and I have already booked TWO commercials as well as a social media sponsorship deal through Will. Vie Agency is definitely on the rise, and I am so happy to be part of the family xo

If your kids need additional coaching or training, Lynne will arrange it. Through Class Act they offer classes and summer camp where kids can hang out with like-minded kids and perfect their craft.

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.

Sheila and her staff worked around my girls crazy schedules with fulltime dance and competition at Pro Dance studio as well as their Little Miss Ocean City, NJ event schedules. The girls now take zoom classes every Saturday mornings from 9am until noon. Barbizon offers complimentary classes almost every night as well that the girls try to jump on as often as possible. The skills they are being taught in the industry are the best around. This is the best platform to introduce your child to the industry. It puts them in front of so many agents/agencies all in one place! We would have had no idea how to navigate the industry without their continued guidance. It doesn't stop when the classes are over. The girls will have lifetime access to the Barbizon classes, guidance and mentorship from Sheila and as well as her expert team. The staff and instructors are the best around. We are so grateful for this experience! We met some wonderful new friends and are making lasting memories. We look forward to the mentorship of Sheila  and love that Barbizon provides a safe environment with interaction between the agents, casting directors and talent agencies which teaches my daughters and prepares them for future representation in the acting and modeling world. Thanks for everything you do for my daughters, Antonella and Arianna DiAntonio . Thanks so much, Anthony and Angelina DiAntonio

I went as a child, when it was actually in Paramus by the old (and glorious) Bergen Mall (not Towne…read morecenter yups) I doubt the fact that it's really not a modeling school has changed. Don't go there except ring to be "discovered". I can't imagine Hasbrook heights is a bed of activity of agents and scouts... Fashion houses don't even put their warehouses there. That said, it is an excellent charm school. I choose to be crass and oft vulgar, but I learned how not to be at barbizon. I learned how to properly set a table, skincare, makeup, how to walk like a "model" or at least a lady , and how to correct my posture, amongst other things. It was fun. I only did the half program and was told then I could return any time for a refresher. I have no clue if that is acutely true, it would be interesting to see how things have changed. The fashion was a bit dated, even for the 90s. Some permed wanna be Stepford wife instructed me on the many ways you could wear an (outdated) scarf. I'd like to know what they teach now. Though I am more adept at these skills than my mother and may not need to send my daughter, I may because all in all it was fun and educational. They don't even teach home ec anymore.... I'm far from traditional in many ways but sometimes girls just need these skills. Maybe they should offer home ec lol

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.
