Brett and his staff are very personable, professional, and accommodating. We have never been…read morepressured into signing up for anything. My daughters are 10 and 12 and enjoy taking the classes and regularly auditioning for visiting agents. They have extremely busy extra curricular activity schedules, which often conflict with each other. However, Brett has been very flexible about allowing them to make up missed classes. Our older daughter was signed by a New York agent and has had numerous auditions and call backs. She has appeared on a magazine cover, and had a non speaking movie role. What they are really gaining out of the association with Open Call is; confidence, self esteem, learning how to present themselves, understanding rejection, time management skills, self evaluation, negotiation and organizational skills, increased reading speed and better comprehension so they can quickly analyze and memorize dialog and scripts. Most recently they have started to be more fashionable and finding their individual sense of style. They are enjoying expressing their creativity with clothes and different looks. My husband and I think both our girls are very talented and photogenic. What parent doesn't? However, we are realistic. Everything in life requires training, exposure, some luck, solid work experience, and hard work on your part to promote/market yourself as well. Most of all REALISTIC expectations and self knowledge. We are happy with how Open Call manages their office and what they have to offer. Most importantly, our girls enjoy the classes, like their instructors and the staff. They are more confident and comfortable performing on stage and presenting themselves in public. I have recommended Open Call Talent Management to my friends and family.

So far so good. I am just talking about the baby modeling devision. There is a one time cost of…read more$165. That covers ALL the marketing they do to all of their extensive clientele. In addition to the one time fee, which basically covers your baby until they reach the age where they might enter the "kids" devision (around 2 1/2 or 3... depending on the kid...) there is only the cost of providing six, 8.5x10 inch photos. You are welcome to take those yourself. Do not have to pay a professional. And in fact you can take some and the lovely staff who helps candidates will let you know before you even go to the cost of oh, say, CVS pharmacy printing out the 6 required photos, if they are "right" for a main head shot. Speaking of lovely staff... my husband and I were very skeptical. But Teagan Favorite (yes that's her real name) took the time to belay our fears and explain everything to us. We were never made to feel like she didn't have the time of day for us, even as busy as she must be. She spent about 15 minutes on the phone with me explaining things in detail. Granted, we are new to doing business with them, and I will update if things go sour, but as of right now we are both impressed. We are sure there are some candidates out there who have had negative experiences, but we can't help but feel like, this, like many other things in life, is a risk. The modeling agency cannot guarantee your child will work. All they can do is present the options to their clients and let them choose. They can't shove your kid down their clientele's throats. It is all dependent on what the company is looking for at the time at the whim of their marketing department. It might not even have anything to do with whether your kid is cute or not! So much is dependent upon demographics. Maybe Monday a company will need a Latino looking child for a shot. Then Tuesday a Caucasian and Wednesday an African American. It is all about timing and the client's needs. I can't help but think those people that have reviewed this company negatively may have gambled (as everyone does in this business) and lost. But you can't say that this extremely professional company has not done right by you. Because all they do is present your child in the best light possible and then the COMPANY picks. If you are angry at anybody, go yell at the marketing departments of companies for not picking your kid. And no, I don't work for Dynasty Models with this fantastic review.

Applied online and got a call back from Jen who was very friendly, told me to come take a visit for an interview. The building was very nice, prime location in Financial District. Front desk person asked me to fill out an application and led me to Jen after. Jen was telling me that she has been working at John Leonard for almost 30 years holy moly! She was very professional, knew what she was doing, and sounded like she has a great relationship with their clients (employers). Asked me couple questions about my skills and experience, what I want to do in a long run. After the interview, she explained some of the jobs they have in the system and asked me if any of those spark my interest. Really liked this short term assignment in Cambridge, was places there a week after that interview! Went through many assignments with various employers through John Leonard so far, was a great experience to work with all those employers. John Leonard seems to have a good clientele of employers that would treat you well as long as you do your job! Long story short- no matter what kind of career goals you have, John Leonard will listen to you, learn your story to find a great assignments that fit to your needs and qualification! Shout out to Jen, you are awesome!
