Here are just some things to know and some frequently asked questions we get from new talent trying to break into the industry professionally.

Q: Do I have to take a workshop course to become a professional model or an actor?

A: No but it helps! and we strongly recommend you do if you wish in order to become a working talent,

Professional training can be a vital advantage in any highly competitive field and most clients do not want to book a total beginner.

Besides, the skills and knowledge acquired during training can be applied to any other pursuit or endeavor.

A model or actor must no longer look a specific way in order to succeed, As lifestyles change, so do the trends in advertising, television commercials, print ads, and fashion.

 

Q: Does AEMT Offer Training Courses & What Specialty Workshops and Courses Do you Offer?

A: AEMT thru our partner company at Alliance Entertainment offers a variety of new and exciting workshops. these workshops will help you gain the confidence and knowledge you need to succeed in this industry.

 

LEARN FROM THE INDUSTRY’S TOP PROFESSIONAL MODELS ACTORS PHOTOGRAPHERS 

 

 

Q: Do I need to spend lots of money to be a model or Actor in Canada or the USA?

A: Models & Actors are self-employed and work as independent contractors.

Being a model or an actor is no different than if you are starting your own business, therefore like any business, you must invest for your business to succeed.

All Clients that have worked with us have gone through what we call the 6-month boot camp to see if they are really cut out for the business professionally all start with us on a 6-month probation development management contract and those who have made it thru have all gone on to do great things in there career AEMT Talent Managers work speaks for itself and so does the clients managed by them.

AEMT Managers and Theatrical Talent Agents are currently representing all types of top talent from actors, writers, artists, and lifestyle experts such as style gurus, chefs, TV hosts, social network bloggers, and fitness influencers, professional athletes,& our proven track record in the industry for the last 26yrs have been forging partnerships with the best corporate brands and talents.

Q: People always tell me that if an agency or management likes you they should pay for everything Is this true?

A: This is a common misconception and actually very untrue.

If an agency or management company decides to advance funds to a model for photos, housing, etc, it is a LOAN.

The model or talent must pay this back whether the model works or not.

If a model develops a track record of continual bookings and income, agencies may advance some funds and eventually wave fees for various services if the client becomes in demand.

Q: IF I SIGN WITH AEMT DO YOU ADVANCE MONEY TO YOUR MODELS

 

A: AEMT does not advance money to any new models as we are a management and union SAG AFRTRA ACTRA talent agency company, not a modeling agency.

We do not charge a fee for model management representation but we do take a percentage from all bookings and if you are looking to get more exposure and build your network thru our contacts and resources we do charge for brand management services which you can learn more about and the services we provide our clients.

Q: I really want to be in the catalogs & magazines

A: Catalogue & magazine scouts and talent agents use professional models that have developed to a professional level.

Catalog houses do not have time to waste training new models so if you have no experience and no portfolio or EPK it’s highly unlikely for you to get into a magazine let alone a real credited one, not just some virtual online magazine that isn’t even sold in the store.

Q: Do I have to have a portfolio and should I have a portfolio/ Epk? 

 Is it a must before submitting to our company and as well as a modeling agency?

A: Yes A portfolio is a model’s book that is built up over time, not in one day, and if you don’t have one our team of experts can help you build the most professional one.

In order for any agency and a manager or management company to start marketing you, you will need a least a few good professional pictures. For fashion models, in particular, it is a lengthy and expensive procedure but it is necessary to stay competitive and work especially for models, particularly those seeking work in television, and fashion shows, If your looking to just be a promotional model or doing event promotions, A portfolio may not always be required. However, it is proof of a model’s experience along with your resume

Q: Why do I need a portfolio?

A: A portfolio is crucial! Not having a professional EPK  portfolio for a go-see/open call is like going to a job interview without a resume. A portfolio will aid you in receiving jobs because it demonstrates your capabilities and potential All Actors Must possess a demo reel without it and for models of a portfolio most agents will not even look at you.

Q: What should I put in my portfolio if I am just starting this business?

A: You should have a couple of photos if you’re just starting. This should include a headshot (close up shot of your face), a Full-length body & a 3/4 Length shot (from head to hips). When you are selecting photos try to keep in mind different looks, i.e.: a casual look, a polished look, or a current/trendy look. This will demonstrate to a client that you are versatile and as well a bio and a resume of any work and special skills you may have as well as your measurements

For more a detailed look for beginners at what you should have in a professional portfolio at the time of the meeting if you do not have one professionally done once we review your submission and see what you have and don’t have we will instruct you what’s missing or what you should have in your EPK if you’re looking to do this professionally full-time so if you don’t have a professional portfolio and need one built for cost CLICK HERE

 

Q: What are the Signs of a Scam if I want to sign with a modeling agency?
A: Be cautious if a modeling agency tells you any of these things listed below.

– “We can guarantee you work”
– “You are exactly what we’re looking for”
– “Babies require professional pictures or portfolios.”

Q: What questions should I ask before registering with a talent agency if have no agent or manager representation?

A: -What associations is its clients or members affiliated with SAG AFRA, ACTRA ETC?

-What jobs/contracts have the actors/talent received?-What percentage is their commission on bookings?

You should feel comfortable with the modeling agency or talent agency if you’re an actor that represents you!

All the professional talents that are currently on our roster to the agents and brand managers that are on our staff are hand-picked talent as we don’t want to be considered as any other talent management agency or entertainment company out there as our roster of models actors artists and talent are what we consider the cream of the crop.

Q: How soon can I expect to see myself on the website if I am added to the AEMT Model management or Alliance Entertainment talent roster?

A: All models and actors will be able to be viewed on-site and EPK by login in with the password provided to clients for security purposes. Only our professional models and actors & talent division will be displayed without a login feature.

Q: What does “Booking out” mean?

A: “Booking Out” is a term we use when the model/talent calls the agency to inform us that you will be unavailable from X date to X date. Please be sure to tell us in advance when you will be unavailable. Do not contact us the night before as we may have already submitted you for a possible job.

This is a business and our role is to submit and promote the appropriate people to casting directors agencies and brands and clients to get you that audition /go see. If you can’t make that audition/go see you have taken away that spot from someone else. We then have to call the casting director or client with regret. By doing this, it can potentially give the agency a bad name among casting directors and can, therefore, affect the entire roster.

Q: How soon can I expect to get work? Or How come I’m not getting any work?

A: This is a question that we cannot answer. Getting work in this industry depends on a wide variety of things. How much experience does someone have, how busy is the industry are you what casting directors are looking for at the moment, do you have the knowledge to land the part or booking when you get that audition or go see?

#1 – We do not give people auditions. It is the talent agency’s responsibility to submit your pictures to casting directors and clients for work that may be coming up. It is then up to the casting director to call us with who they would like to see.

#2- To get an audition is an amazing opportunity! You have to remember that in order to get that audition you have just been selected over thousands of other people to go in and meet with that client or casting director.

#3- if you actually get an audition, SHOW UP! DO NOT BE LATE! Casting directors work very hard to have everyone scheduled at appropriate times. You also may have to audition with other people. If you are late chances are casting directors will not see you. It is not tolerated in this business. Time is money! This is not the first impression you want to make on someone who has the power to give you a job.
