Models Direct Reviews - From our Female Models

I really enjoyed my Ann Summers assignment, which was modelling for their in-store opening event in Swansea.  I was required to promote their lingerie by standing in a window.  I was very very nervous beforehand because I had no idea what I would be wearing or how members of the public would react.  I was soon made to feel relaxed when I met all of the employees of Ann Summers, who were really supportive and friendly.  The other people who were also doing the same assignment were also very supportive and friendly, we all had a great time laughing and joking.  I got to wear a lovely Santa dress as well as candy cane stockings to get into the Christmas spirit.  The members of the public loved it, they would laugh, take pictures with us and crack jokes. Sadly the event came to an end, the manager hugged us and said we did such a good job we deserve goody-bags and to keep the garments. This assignment gave me a lot of confidence, I would recommend everyone to do this as it was a lovely experience I got to meet some great people and modelling is something I really enjoy doing. I wouldn't have been able to do this without the help of Talent Management.

My assignment with Ieso Digital Health was the forth one through Talent Management. I was confident this time and I think each assignment helps me to improve my skill.

This time around, I was the only model, while on my previous assignments I worked in groups with other models. I felt a bit like celebrity.

The photo shoot took place in a small train station on a foggy day. Usually I am asked to smile for photos, but this time I was asked to be serious and not smile.  As I mentioned, it was different from what I have experienced before, but it was something I would like to do again.

I appreciate what Talent Management does, because they give me the opportunity to experience new things, while I am having fun and earning money.

Couldn't believe it but within a week of joining Talent Management, I was assigned to do a second modelling job!  This time I was working with another TM male model in a studio shoot for Matrressman.  We had to pose as a couple - reading a magazine, making the bed,  taking selfies etc within a bedroom setting. It was one of the easiest and relaxed jobs ever!  We spent the whole time posing on their very comfy mattress with fluffy bed covers.   Sometimes you can't believe that this is what they are paying you for!  I would definitely recommend people looking to get into this industry to join Talent Management!

It was really good to work as model for Hallet Retail. I was very nervous beforehand, but once I got settled I was very comfortable.  The assignment involved modelling for a clothing brand e-commerce material. Various photos where taken of me from the neck down, modelling items of clothing and accessories for the use of House of Fraser, JD Williams and Debenhams for online catalogue/website. I was asked to get changed in the various clothing then the action took place in front of the camera. I learnt different a lot of new actions and poses for the camera.  Everything about the assignment was enjoyable, but most importantly was the team that worked with me on my assignment. Everyone was just welcoming and friendly and made me feel at home.  I had so much fun, and would love to do it on a again. I really enjoyed it, it was a great experience and look forward to doing more assignments.

I would recommend my experience to others because it's really enjoyable if you are not afraid of the camera.

The people that organised my assignment at Talent Management are welcoming and nice. It is a good idea to join a modelling agency as they do a majority of the work in finding you assignments without any hassle. I have not been proactive in pursuing work in the talent industry as this was the first booking I was assigned to but I am fairly good at updating my e-portfolio. I decide to join Talent Management because I have interest in fashion and enjoy taking pictures and I enjoy every experience I come across.

Another good day, the team was really lovely, welcoming and relaxed. The other models also were very nice and every one had a good laugh.  I had to sit in front of the camera and pretend that I was having a conversation with someone. As I am an actress, it was pretty easy for me, I did get full training for that!  Thank you Talent Management.

Working for Ann Summers as a promotional model was my first assignment with Talent Management.  The job consisted of meeting and greeting costumers whilst modelling the client's lingerie.  It was super easy and such a good fun as I had another model from Talent Management working with me too. I really enjoyed my time working there. The store manager was super understandable and gave us a few different lingerie options to choose from as some were more revealing than others. All the staff were lovely to chat and have a little giggle with also. I would love to do this again!  Thanks TM!

Taking part in stage 2 of my acting job was just as perfect as the first.  Everything ran very smoothly and we even finished earlier than expected!

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the NHS filming put together and felt we had achieved something of a high standard.  This was a very rewarding moment as my first finished piece of acting work!

My confidence is growing more and more within acting roles - including how to learn my lines the best way, how to get into character and most importantly how to work effectively with big teams of people.

The most enjoyable part of this particular job was that I was able to drive down with one of the girls from Talent Management who I had previously met and worked with. It was so nice have company and a new friend to go to the job with.  My confidence was sky high with lots of excitement!

Thank you Talent Management!

This was my second assignment for Talent Management in a live TV studio modelling make up products and the experience has been amazing.  From the moment I walked into the Green Room the other models, the presenters, producers and film crew made me feel part of the team and helped me to achieve my best. Before going on set, I carefully watch and listen to everything that is going on around me and I ask questions if I have any uncertainty about what I am expected to do.  As the assignment is filmed for live TV there is a huge responsibility to get things right but I enjoy this challenge - it certainly makes the experience exciting. If you get an offer to work on live TV don't hesitate to take it but be prepared to listen and think on your feet!

I was nervous when I got to the venue, but everyone at Ann Summers was so friendly and made me feel very comfortable.  It was nice to meet new people and we had fun.  There were 4 of us models there and we had to greet customers whilst modelling Ann Summers lingerie. I have gained more confidence by doing this assignment and would definitely recommend signing up to Talent Management - you will meet some awesome people along the way!

When I got a phone call from Molly at Talent Management about this amazing opportunity, I was over the moon!  I was working on an assignment doing a video advertisement for 'Perfect Pout' lip enhancer, which is going to appear in major department stores and TV across the Middle East!  I was very nervous to begin with, but when I met everyone involved I learnt that they were all down to earth which made me feel very comfortable.  I had injured my knee pretty badly a few days before I went on the job, and the cast were amazing to me!  I can't pick a best part out of the day because the whole assignment was just amazing.  There was another model working alongside, she was amazing and we had a few scenes together using pink paint and throwing it everywhere, even on ourselves which was a laugh. I definitely have made a friend for life!

I had the best experience doing this job and I can't wait to further my career with more work like this.

I would recommend Talent Management to anyone because getting jobs like this can take you far in life, and the people who work for Talent Management are so supportive, especially Molly.

I love to learn from new challenges and joining Talent Management was the best thing I've done. The experience shooting for Transport For London was amazing, when I arrived at my assignment I was nervous but I thoroughly enjoyed my day, the other 2 models were very nice and we all got on so well.

The most enjoyable part of my assignment was meeting the other models and working with the Police Community Support Officers. Team work was very important as we all got on so well.

I would definitely  recommend to everyone wanting to do modelling  to follow their dream . Marie at Talent Management was very helpful and the support I received from them was fantastic.
 
I will definitely be updating my e-portfolio on a regular basis from now on  as this will allow me to carry on following my dream.

I was looking forward to going to my latest assignment through Talent Management because it was based in a large London hospital.  I worked at this hospital many many years ago, but it has changed so much and has become even larger.   I was not nervous about the assignment but keen to see what it was all about.  The crew were very nice and welcoming.  I arrived on time and did not have to wait long.  A member of the crew explained the purpose of the assignment which was an advert to promote hygiene in hospitals.  I was given costumes and shown what I had to do.

I liked this photo shoot because it gave me a new experience, and I am keen to do different types of adverts or public information filming.

I would recommend this experience to others because it is fun, you meet some very nice people and you learn and develop confidence in the process.

I joined up with Talent Management as I had some modelling experience when I was younger, and now I live back in London and my children have left home, so I felt this would be the perfect time to re-start my career.

I really enjoyed my first assignment through TM, modelling and promoting Bridgman garden furniture. This was something I hadn't done before so I was a little nervous at first, but soon settled into the job in hand. The job involved promoting and showing how each set of furniture could be used.  This was most enjoyable, as it involved lots of fun shoots eating and drinking around a table, entertaining with friends on the outside sofas and just relaxing on the sun beds. The team around me were so friendly and I would love to do more assignments, I would certainly recommend the experience to a friend.

I really enjoyed  my 3days promotional assignment for Lancaster insurance at the NEC  Classic Car Show so I would recommend this kind of job and Talent Management modelling agency.
I had  a lot of fun meeting new people and got to improve my English skills.
It was really nice, I  represented the car I was standing behind, its was Volvo PI800.
I had to smile, interact, be polite and take pictures with customers and the car.
There was also a competition for the favorite amongst the cars, so I had to get as many votes from customers for Volvo.
I got good money for this job, so I really hope to get more modelling  jobs in future.Thank you !!

This was our second assignment through Talent Management, and as the first one went so well I was hoping this would be the same.  We arrived to meet photograph and film crew at Perevil Homes, and after introductions we were straight into the working day.  As this was a family shoot we are always hoping they will be patient with Oscar who is my 4 year old little boy, and we had nothing to worry about.  We had such an amazing day with lots of laughs and loads of fun.

We had never done filming before so that was a new aspect of modelling that we all thoroughly enjoyed and wont hesitate to work for the company, photographer and film crew again.

When first joining Talent Management, I was worried that we would never get a job as there must be so many people going for the same jobs, however I think with keeping your profile up to date and adding photos and information as I have done (not just for myself, but my husband and 3 children too) is why we have had success, along with the help from the amazing staff at Talent Management.

I chose to join up with Talent Management because they seemed very welcoming and inclusive and that this would give me the best chance of being offered assignments. I also like the way that I am able manage my own portfolio. 

On yesterday's assignment, I was booked to model a make-up product on day time TV.  This was my first assignment and my first film shoot.  I couldn't quite believe that it was me!  I enjoyed the whole experience from start to finish.  It never occurred to me to be nervous because everybody was so helpful and friendly.  Off-screen, I was guided carefully through each step of my on-screen role and I am quite proud of what I achieved.  The main direction was to remain totally facially expressionless for about three minutes while the make up was applied, which sounds easy but it is actually quite hard to not react facially to any of the presenters while they are talking to the audience and each other.  I am quite a facially expressive person but I can take a direction when I'm given one! The hardest thing was to admire the results in the mirror - not because they weren't amazing but because it's quite difficult to admire yourself on TV!  That's the bit I need to practice if I get asked to do more make up modelling. It was great to realise that there is no need to be nervous and to find out that I can successfully take on a role like this. I don't normally wear much make up but this did not affect my ability to be successful on screen with the presentation of a make up product.

I would encourage anyone who receives an invitation for an assignment that might appear to be outside their comfort zone to just go for it!  You'll enjoy it and that will help you to do well.

Thanks Talent Management! I spent the day getting facial , 8 of them! All done by a well known make up artist at the launch of a new skin care range by L'Occitane .  It was a great day with friendly people who in the end felt more like old friends than new acquaintances.

My latest assignment was a promotional shoot for Exbury Gardens in Hampshire.  The weather was fabulous and the gardens were amazing.  Herb and I had worked together before and we were joined by the lovely Tomlinson family. We had to wander through the gardens on a family day out, it was to be relaxing and natural, to promote the experience of visiting Exbury as a fabulous day out for all age groups.  The gardens are famous for their spring and early summer displays but our job was to show the beautiful family experience in the Autumn.  There were lots of photos taken in natural poses and we all had a fun time, shame when we finished.  I would recommend anyone thinking to joining Talent Management to do so, you meet such nice people, have a great time and get paid too!

I was familiar with the Duracell team as this was the second time I was booked by them through Talent Management.  They were very friendly, great to work with and hospitable, providing me with lunch and snacks.  I was re-shooting some scenes for the latest Duracell commercial. The direction was great and I felt more comfortable than the first time. Overall I really enjoyed the day.

I would love to do more commercial modelling work because it gives you a real self confidence boost.

I enjoyed working in Northampton for the NHS's latest video shoot. I felt at ease and everything was quite simple. Everyone was really nice and we all had a good time working together. I would recommend signing up to Talent Management to anyone looking for industry experience and to add to your CV.  Thanks, Janelle

Hey Guys!

Please take a moment to read some of my feedback from another job I have recently had with Talent Management.

So this time with Talent Management I was taken on as a leading actress.  I had to play a patients role for a short corporate film for the NHS. This was something which was completely new to me as I had never done acting before. Molly my booker had great confidence in me and sent the job over. I then went ahead and learnt the scripted lines as soon as I could. I send a little video clip of myself saying the lines and I was selected!

My experience as an actress was really exciting and challenging for me. At first I was nervous and apprehensive, but that's always to be expected with something new! All the other extras and actors involved were lovely to work with and I felt at great ease chatting with and getting to know them before we had to film.

From this experience which went really well for me I will now be able to put myself forward for acting positions as well as the modelling work!

The bookers and team members at Talent Management are one of my favourite groups of agents I work for. I get work pretty frequently through the agency.  They always explain all details and contracted agreements thoroughly and I have huge amounts of support and praise from the bookers when an assignment is complete.

I look forward to my next job!

Shooting for Steelcase furniture, I was really nervous at first because I didn't really know my way around Cambridge so it took me a while to find the college and I ended up being late on my first day.
 However,  the company we were shooting for were very kind and understanding and didn't make me feel embarrassed for being late. The other models were very kind and easy to get along with. We became friends instantly. On the day, we had to act like we were college students learning about marketing. On the second day, we were college students sitting in the library either working on our own or in a small group. I gained many skills during this 2-day experience and hopefully I can exercise them again in the near future in other assignments with Talent Management. I would definitely recommend this experience to others. I would recommend anyone thinking of pursuing work in the talent industry to be themselves and when their time comes to go to an assignment, be friendly, confident and have fun.

It was awesome!  I loved my first shoot .The most enjoyable part of the day would have to be everything to be honest,  we had to do a shoot for Steelcase  furniture, I was asked to walk and seat down at one point and the other point had to make conversation with other models, whilst they took pictures etc . I learned, how to make a photo look realistic and not to make it obvious by looking at the cameras around.
I would definitely recommend the experience to others as I liked it  a lot  . If you are someone thinking of pursuing work in the talent industry is  a good move to join an agency  like Talent Management, it can be a waiting game for a  while  but you'll get a job as long as you update  your      E-portfolio all the time. Personally I decided to join up with Talent Management because I wanted experience, to follow my ambition and dreams of being a model one day and now I've started doing so!

t felt so good being a model for the Steelcase company. I enjoyed every moment of being in front of the camera. I felt very nervous on my journey there as I was going into something completely unexpected! But once there, I had so much fun and it is definitely something I would do again.
I loved the part where they were taking pictures of me with my hair in a bun listening to music, It was so fun. Especially when your whole face is in the picture. It's a good feeling.
We were directed to act as if we were students in a school,  as it was for a company who provides furniture for schools. We got told to act as if we were having a conversations  and we  weren't  even being filmed or anything.
I would recommended the experience to others as its a stepping stone. It may not always  be the kind of modelling you would like to do however it's experience and everyone has to start somewhere!
If you want to pursue in this industry you do need to be confident and have good communication skills, at the end of the day you are  representing someone else's company not your own so you have to keep that in mind. However if it is something you wish to do then go for it!
I wanted to join Talent Management as I thought it seemed more realistic.  I like the idea of having to put your own pictures up to get recognized because then you can say you've actually done something, so Thank you!

When I found out I was chosen to be a model for the day for Wex Photographic, I was overwhelmed. I arrived at the location to meet the crew and  I wasn't too sure what to expect since this was my first time, so I was quite nervous beforehand but why?.. I do not know  they made me feel unbelievably comfortable, involved and relaxed. I had tons of fun and would definitely enjoy taking part in another opportunity like this.
The most enjoyable part of the assignment was meeting some fantastic people and being able to be ourselves and have lots of fun! The assignment involved myself and another lovely model, Tara to act as best friends on a day out in Blackpool using the new SONY camera for a commercial video. We were directed to have lots of fun and use the camera. We did not have to speak just act and interact with the camera.
I feel that doing this assignment has definitely improved my confidence and I look forward to  participating in more modelling opportunities in the future. I would recommend the experience to anybody because it is such a brilliant opportunity to meet new people and learn how to interact with cameras and video equipment naturally.
 At first when the cameras were around me, I felt that it was difficult to relax in front of them  however once I got into the assignment I started to relax and found it easier to interact with the camera.
If you are thinking about joining an agency I would certainly recommend Talent Management, I signed up expecting to get no work and it's been less than a year and I have already had one assignment! Updating my e-portfolio has come as a routine, I am constantly updating it and it is quick and easy.
Personally I joined up with Talent Management because I have always wanted to model, be in front of the camera and meet new people. I used to look online at modelling companies and apply but they were either not real agencies or required you to have a certain look or a specific size and it really knocked my confidence because I'm not the tallest of people,  when I found Talent Management and they were open to all ages, sizes and looks I had to give it a try and I certainly haven't regretted it!
Thank you!! :)
