Glamour Model Talent Inc. does it again... I can't believe I also got sucked in... Chicago Illinois

Hello i recently started working for Glamour Model Talent Inc in chicago and i am also a Music Promoter in the City of Chicago. I am in charge of the Music Division inside Glamour Model Talent Inc and i am helping musicians, bands, djs and record labels with Artist Development and also as well getting them professional photos taken.

Now i keep hearing all of this stuff that happend in 2007 about that magazine company and also about the photographer charging you $98.00 for a "test" shoot. Ok lets analize that shall we.

The Photographer is Independent Contact with most modeling agencies in chicago they do have to get paid for there work and also as well for touch up, editing and also as well for taking your photos why b***h or complain about it when you are also getting professional photos that are on a Photo CD even if you do not get a job with any agency you still got photos you can give out to potential people who might be needing talent that you find on your own.

1st. Photos will always have to be taken in any modeling type of agency some charge you a "application fee and or registration fee of over $300-$400 so basically your comp cards and printing and photos and everything else is included in Registration or Application Fee with other Talent Agencies.

2nd. Now with Glamour Model Talent Inc yes they charge you $98.00 to do a "test" photoshoot and they have you return the next week to review the photos, pick up your photo cd and also as well discuss with you about the printing for the comp cards and to further discuss potential jobs or whatever.

3rd. To be honest there is no "LOOK" for tv, commercials, film and whatever else might come around where people need talent however since talent companies work in volume and bulk it might take time for you to get your gig since companies (ad agencies or print agencies or casting calls) are looking for a certain height, width, size, race and demographics so the biggest part is to see who is a match in the system database. I know this is true since i was emailed by a lady who runs a ad agency looking for models and they wanted a certain demographics for a alcoholic drink ad.

The BBB is sort of hit and miss if the company (no matter what it is) does not pay there due's to be registered with them there Rating automatically drops does not matter if they have good or bad ratings.

For Scam companies the State of Illinois Consumers Affairs Dept and also as well the Chicago attorney general office would shut them down Quick if they were found out to be a scam they do not tolerate scam type of industries in chicago.

However like any major company you have your "Bad" apples where they tend to mislead people and or give people the wrong impression i have talked to the owner of the Modeling agency and he told me all about the issues that happened in 2007 regarding some Magazine agency looking for talent, so yes they had there issues back then however the 4-6 bad remarks over the hundreds of good remarks it sort of out weighs the bad remarks. But people live and thrive off of bad press and also as well they like all that drama so they tend to read the bad stuff rather then the good stuff.

Needless to say IF you come to a interview and they want to have photos taken for your test shoot or photo shoot well its really up to you to PAY for it? They are not really pulling your leg and or making you take the photos you can walk out of any agency at anytime. However possibly when you go to a agency have them show you recent or past work orders? that would be a good reassurance if you see proof on paper and also as well track record.

You see i am not just defending the talent agency i work for but well for everyone who does modeling and talent in chicago every agency who tries to find you jobs everyone must charge the client something either photos, registration, comp cards, and take a percent from jobs got for you. Also mostly for talent agencies since they work in BULK and MASS amounts of people are signed to the agency they have to pick and choose who does the next job so give them a break.

MY food for thought.

I was a model with Glamour Model Talent for four years. This agency has been
extremely successful in finding, developing, and placing talent with top casting and
advertising agents in the entertainment and modeling industry.

John Vuolo has been very successful in the industry for over 18 years placing talent
with agents and managers and she takes these incorrect statements seriously. He has an excellent reputation and finds these statements slanderous.

Glamour Model Talent, Inc. has worked very hard to have an excellent reputation in
the community and has proven that by the number of success talent stories.
