Okay, if you think that you can just find auditions sitting at home on your computer, go to them, and instantly become famous, then you're very wrong. You or you child have to take classes and get coaching. Seattle talent (from my experience) is NOT an agency that will have casting calls and auditions for TV shows. They are there to provide classes and tell you when and where auditions are, they will then sign you up and you arrive, audition and wait to hear back. I'm currently taking classes here at Seattle Talent and while nerve racking, I absolutely enjoy them! If you get called to come audition for Seattle Talent, then be excited! All you have to do is sit for a while in a room with everyone else auditioning to listen to people talk about success stories, read your commercial script a few times and such. Then when it's your turn, they'll call your name and you go up and do a short little interview with one of two people that work there. After your interview, you will then be escorted to a small studio in front of a camera with a very nice lady. You will then perform your script to the camera the best you can. (Yes, you can hold the paper in your hand if you forget!) You will then be instructed to call back then next day at a certain time and if you're in, they'll say something along the lines of "Looks like we have good news for you!" and if not, I'm sure they'll say something nice. They hold auditions for "newfaces" every once in a while and auditions for agents from places like LA and New York and some local talent agencies from WA. Expect to have TONS of fun and to be treated very nice! Yes, coaching classes are a little pricey but you have to get lessons before you hit the big screen, right? This place is HIGHLY recommended by me and my family! I hope you enjoy your experience! :) read more

I had some acting experience in high school and briefly as a kid, but never took advantage of the bright lights of NYC that I could have, growing up in the area or even up until a year ago, when we moved to WA. Going back to about 7 months ago when I asked my son an important question. What did he want to be when he grows up? Being an actor was his number 1 answer. Rather than have him think he needs to wait, I asked him if he wanted to get started in the acting world right away if he could and without hesitation, he said yes! Not knowing how to navigate the entertainment industry, most especially here in the PNW, I researched where best to start my son's journey. Reviewing the top modeling/talent agencies in WA, I realized that Seattle Talent offering a training setting focused on acting, might be the best option. First, of course he had to be accepted, and to join in on the fun, we both sent in our individual audition tapes! Come to find out there are plenty of submissions that are turned in daily/weekly that never get callbacks. We did! Fast forward 7 months later, we were both accepted and attended the model/talent convention (IMTA) in LA early January 2023. My son received a ton of awards, callbacks, and I had a few as well. We both signed with other agencies that will help expand our reach! We appreciate you Team Seattle Talent for all the support, encouragement, and guidance you gave us! A special thank you to Megan! Megan you were so kind, thoughtful and timely answering all of our questions and supporting us in preparation for IMTA. We genuinely appreciate you! Thank you Seattle Talent for all that you do to support the hopes and dreams of many through the years. We hope you continue to do so for many more years to come!! read more

Seattle Talent should be every model/actors first stop! Our child began modeling/acting at age three. After a long year or false promises and ridiculous requests, we moved to Seattle to start fresh. We were very skeptical after such a bad experience, but Seattle Talent soon put all that worry to rest. At 5, our child now has agents and managers knocking on the door in volume. With only 3 months of training she was able to compete in an International modeling convention with top tier talent from all over the world. Seattle Talent is the REAL DEAL. It is not what they say, it is what they can do. The proof is in the success our child is experiencing. They put their reputation, extensive resources/ connections and experience behind our child, and the result is indisputable. They made us no promise; they told us what it is really like out there from people who were ACTUALLY in this business. They gave us a strategy for how to succeed. They didn't strong arm us into expensive classes; They gave us options as to how and when to invest in our child's talent. The choice is and always has been ours. The reality is (for the skeptical) that there are no guarantees in this business. Anyone who guarantees something like that is probably selling something. A strong portfolio, training and exposure are key fundamentals for someone to succeed in this business... and those things cost money. It is not a free ride. Seattle Talent hands down has been the best resource we have encountered to bring all of these elements together and get us moving forward. No one knows what the future holds. We are so happy we got off to such a great start. read more

Don't know what the other two people are talking about. If you think your kid can just walk in be a star you are sadly mistaken. Workshops are expensive. To find quality coaches is even harder. Seattle Talent makes sure your child is marketable in the real world for a highly competitive industry. Their coaches work in the industry not a failed actor who has gone on auditions and never booked a job, not a housewife who did some school plays back in the day and is now teaches some acting classes cause she thinks she's an actress. Just one 2 hour class can cost $200 or more with a coach that actually has experience in the field. So many claim to be a vetted coach when they are not. If you are a Singer, dancer, doctor, you need to be trained well and it is the same with actors. How much do you spend on your kids to play a sport or be in dance? If you want them to be the best don't you spend the money for the summer camps and traveling teams for the experience, training and the exposure! A Rolls Royce is more than a KIA for a reason and Ivy League Schools cost more than a Community College. This industry is no different. This is the real world and you have to be serious if you want to be taken seriously. My kid has been in the business for about 18 months on the east coast and when we met with casting directors from top firms NY and LA they all said the same thing, find a great agency that is going to groom you to be the best and most marketable and that is exactly what you will get with Seattle Talent. read more

So far this is buy far the best agency .My name is Sandie joseph you may find me on their page with my recent shoot with "Lumicor " and I am still new with seattle talent . My first agency was in New York . I wasn't getting any booking so I switch to Seattle talent so everything has been going great . I only spent money on that agency for portfolio pictures only which is less expensive compare to other Agencies and the one I was with in new . the new york portfolio shoot cost me almost 1000 for 4 looks after a discount they had for valentines day . New York is big and I have been to some agencies in New York believe me , you don't pay that little for training or portfolio shoots . Its harder to get booking in New York because the agencies would have thousands of people . I just had a recent photo shoots on Wednesday with "Lumicor "it was the best shoot ever thank you Seattle Talent .Remember to book as many as you can and book the one you think you might be best fit for. I always try to keep in mind that it's nothing personal ,if i don't get pick for a shoot .because the agencies has nothing to do with you nothing getting picked on remember your success is their success . They also celebrate and happy with you when you get picked ,so my advice for people is to be patient and don't give up. Your turn will come out of no where . read more

You can't give a talent agency a bad rap because you didn't become famous, make thousands of dollars, and land auditions every day. The role of a talent agency is to help you in your own process of becoming a working actor, guiding you in getting headshots, building a resume, and answering the expected and endless questions you might have for them. David at Seattle Talent was an absolute treasure the minute my audition began and continued to be throughout my time there. Not only did I get work, and got paid for it, but I was never once pressured or asked to pay them anything above the industry standard percentage for the work they most definitely deserve the credit for finding me. Do I recommend them? Hands down, absolutely, without a doubt. I do recommend, if you're still feeling apprehensive, going to their office and visiting them in person. Not only is it beautiful, and large, but they will answer all your questions, and you'll be on your way to making things happen! read more

Seattle talent is amazing! I have been with them for about a month now and have already landed multiple jobs. Photoshoots with Zulily, and an independent company that came to them looking for models. Also I have gotten a commercial series with Microsoft. Almost every week I do an in person audition with an agency. I most likely apply for jobs though Seattle Talent 4 or 5 times a week. They are constantly sending out new job opportunities. The opportunities are endless with them. Everyone at the office is very friendly and willing to help. They are extremely professional. Could not be more satisfied. They have classes once a week where you are coached by their very prestigious coaches. You learn everything from how to act in front of a camera to how to perform well in auditions and interviews. They do it all! Seattle Talent is a GREAT company with even better employees. You will not be disappointed. read more

Please avoid Seattle Talent it was once John Robert Powers that closed down same location. Same fraudulent scheme of scamming people only now under a new name. This place will take your money, sign you up for classes/make you take their photos for at least $500 (no real agency would make you do that. The you'll spend your entire life going to auditions hoping once day you'll get a chance and they use fake success stories to promote their business. Back in the day when I signed my daughter up for John Robert Powers their whole scheme was to prepare you for a conference called "Ipop" which you'd have to pay $6,000-$10,000 to attend now they call it IMD. So if they promote you to go outside the state, RUN. It's a scam This whole business is a scam. David has been doing this for years. He builds a fraudulent a business, keeps it going for 10 years then shuts it down and starts fresh. read more

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, SEATTLE TALENT!!! My 8-year old son has been working with Seattle Talent for about 6 months now and I couldn't be happier with all the opportunities that are being provided for him. He has auditions all the time, and has since the first day he signed with Seattle Talent. There's always something for him to do, and opportunities being provided. Furthermore, he is getting excellent coaching and I have watched his confidence soar (what every mama hopes for!). Also, the staff is wonderful and genuinely care about my sons progress and happiness. They are always checking in with my boy and making sure he's having a good time, and trying to find ways to make sure he is getting plenty of auditions. For anyone wondering if this is the right place for you, or your kiddos, absolutely! I am grateful my son has this amazing opportunity and excited to see what his future brings. read more

I just signed with Seattle Talent about 2 weeks ago and just got my first booking! I was a little hesitant at first to pay the initial workshop fee but it's totally worth it because the class was so helpful and has helped me grow as an actress. Because of what I learned there I had the confidence to audition for the IMTA and got in! Then my husband and I ran into a bit of a financial snag, when we talked to Annavon about our situation she was so helpful and understanding and helped us come up with a fantastic compromise! It's true that not everyone is going to get every job they audition for. But from what the other clients I've met have said, a lot of people do find some level of success with Seattle Talent. Whether you want to work on the local level or national this is definitely a great place to get started! read more

Just had an opportunity to audition for "The Equalizer" with Queen Latifa! I just wanted to thank Seattle Talent for helping me get with Untamed Artists! Also, if it wasn't for Hank, David , Shariff, Liz, Robert, Michael, and Megan...I would not have the amount of opportunities coming my way. The opportunities from IMTA are still working in my favor! The NYPAA scholarship and the opportunity to work with such talented people and learn from industry pros has been nothing but a dream come true. I want to thank Seattle Talent for all of the doors they have opened for me. And to those naysayers? You can't expect an agency to do everything for you. You gotta put in the work. Great, professional people run this agency and they want nothing but the best for their clients! read more

Total scam. Going to their "audition" was like sitting through a timeshare pitch. And they put 99.99% of their new talent into their "Development Programs." This includes a starting package at $1950, advanced program at $2900 and what they call a career program at $5900!!! It's a total scam. For all you wanna be actors, singers, dancers, out there - do not do this. I worked in the New York and Philadelphia markets and know that you do not and should not pay anything to join an agency. Legitimate agencies take a percentage of what you earn. Seattle Talent is taking from both sides - coming in the door and once you start working. That's why their "VPs" are dressed in expensive suits. Here's my advice - run away! run away! run away! read more

We just returned from IPOP (International Presentation of Performers) in LA. Seattle Talent did a great job preparing my son for modeling, acting and commercials. He received many callbacks from Agenciesin LA.We have a trip planned to meet with several of them to see what the future holds. We never would have had that type of exposure to high level talent agencies if we went to LA and cold called agents. Even if nothing comse from the contacts made at IPOP we have family memories we will cherish. Seattle Talent was named "School of the Year" at this years convention. The courses were not inexpensive, but what is when it comes to kids and their activities? Seattle Talent helped us with fundraising ideas. read more

My ten year old son thinks he is going to be the next Adam Sandler, so I did a little research and visited a few local companies. Most were pretty hokey, but I was impressed with how nice their office was, how relaxed and professional they were, and how focused they were on my son, not whether I could pay for crap or not. My son pretty much loves going to acting practice there, the coaches are adults and only a few kids per coach, and we have met a few agents from LA already, and my kid is having a blast. I don't know where this will go, but its nice to take your kid somewhere where they respect kids as real people, and they are glad to see him every week. If you can afford it, you should try it. read more

When our son said he wanted to be an actor, we didn't know where to even start. Seattle Talent came recommended from a friend. We have had nothing but positive experiences!! Our son started taking classes to help teach him how to meet agents, how to gain confidence, and be more comfortable with himself as a person in general. He absolutely loves his classes and has learned so much- I've even seen these skills carry over into his every day life!! He has already booked several print ad jobs and even was cast in a video shoot!! He is so excited and we couldn't be more pleased with how this experience has gone in even just a few months!! We highly recommend Seattle Talent and their amazing staff!! read more

My son has been a part of Seattle Talent since fall of 2017 and it has been a wonderful experience. We booked a job within the first few months and my son has enjoyed classes for commercial acting, improv, and most recently vocals. He has always wanted to be a voice actor and the staff at Seattle Talent is constantly sending audition opportunities. Each Saturday the staff is always in the office with a smile when he comes for his classes, they remember my son's name, and they love hearing about his accomplishments not only through their efforts but his personal efforts at school with choir and theatre. His confidence has improved so much and for that I am grateful! read more

I'm so thankful I was referred to them!! Modeling is my passion and they took me by the wing and showed me how to be amazing at what I do, I'm so excited for my future with them, everything they promise me they've kept their word and I'm truly grateful. I believe anyone that's looking for a future in modeling should go to Seattle talent hands down ! And also for all the people writing bad reviews about them I believe some people just didn't want it as bad as others, but if you come in wanting it more than anything and you're truly dedicated then Seattle talent will make sure you Succeed. Don't waste their time and you won't feel like yours is wasted read more

Seattle Talent has been so amazingly great! Less than a year ago I auditioned for Seattle Talent and I got picked to go to the IMTA in Los Angeles for modeling and acting. Seattle Talent provided a 6 months training program and the coaches are fantastic! I highly recomment this business if you or your child is interested in modeling/acting/signing/dancing. Of course the workshop classes arent cheap, but they are worth investing in because they will help you get to where you need to be and Seattle Talent will put you in front of agents and scouts so you can get discovered. I am now signing with an modeling agency and moving to LA in two weeks! read more

I am an older male, and as with many careers, Covid devastated mine.   Having done some commercials in the past, both as vocal Talent, and voice over.   I was welcomed with open arms into Seattle Talent, nurtured and groomed.   I have only been with them for a few months now, and I have already been hired in a movie ( I portrayed two different characters ), and as the principle in a national TV commercial. They have already procured me work in this highly competitive field. I highly recommend Seattle Talent to anyone who wishes to pursue a career in both Modeling, and acting. They will take you as far as you want to go, and higher! read more
