I must start off by saying, I have never booked talent through an agency before and it was a little…read moreintimidating. Ginger from The Agency Arizona was so helpful and professional and made the process easy. I am the Vice President of the National Concierge Association (NCA) Nevada Chapter and I needed to hire two models to dress as show girls for the NCA's big gala in Carefree, AZ. The price was the best I could find and the models suggested were beautiful and perfect for the job. The two models we hired were Brianna and McKenna and although there was a small wardrobe snafu, the girls pulled through. I highly recommend the Agency Arizona and again want to thank Ginger, Brianna and McKenna for their professionalism. I would definitely use them again.

BEST AGENCY IN THE WORLD I was scouted by Terri & signed to The Agency Arizona in 2010. They are…read moreall so kind and welcoming! This is by far the most wonderful agency. They care so much about each model & reel in the best jobs! My wonderful agents at The Agency Arizona placed me with top modeling agencies in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, London, Milan, & Paris; which led to my work with the most prestigious clothing & cosmetics brands around the globe. The Agency Arizona is very responsive when it comes to emails and phone calls! They are very professional & on the ball. My agents there took the most beautiful digitals and got me great work in Arizona as well! My agents always took time to give me great advice & they are always very encouraging. They gave me great tips on how to be professional in the business world when i first started my career as a model. I cannot say thank you enough. The Agency Arizona blessed my life in so many ways. Truly the most beautiful & happy agency I've ever known.

My experience at SWMT has been nothing short of life changing. I had never considered myself to be…read morea model or actor before, but it was always something I had wanted to pursue. I come from a small, clique-y town where I never had the look or the last name to be anyone special. Tyrell and Amanda have transformed me into a brand new person. I have learned so much about confidence, self love and respect, compassion, and friendship, not to mention the incredible amount of information I have learned about the industry. I want to make it very clear that working with this agency is a JOB and it takes a lot of hard work, dedication, and commitment. Like the directors say, "You get out of this what you put into it," and I have never heard a more true statement. This isn't something you audition for once and then wait around for the calls and opportunities to fall in your lap. This is a hard, competitive industry and you cannot expect to take off right away. The classes provided at Barbizon were absolutely amazing and informative. My teacher was a very successful and gorgeous woman, (Shout out to Diana), who came from near nothing and built herself and her career from the ground up. Tyrell, Amanda, Laura, and every single person I have come into contact with at the agency are strong, knowledgable women who hold themselves tall and have high expectations for the people they choose to bring into their agency. I am truly blessed to have been chosen to be a part of such an outstanding school. The classes I took through Barbizon were amazing and I felt that they really prepared me for the auditions and castings I have received from SWMT. But, like I said, this is a JOB! You have to be active and on top of the game, just as you would expect SWMT to be on it as well. They cannot represent you if you aren't putting in the work for them. I have been working hard to learn about the industry in order to begin the career I have been dreaming about for ages! Not only has SWMT and Tyrell opened this incredible world for me, but they also gave me the opportunity to attend IMTA, which was hands down the best week of my entire life! Yes, the cost of the trip looks intimidating and you may question your life choices when you see it, but you have to remember that nothing in this world comes free, and the amount of exposure, experience, and knowledge I gained from my time at IMTA is immeasurable. Words cannot describe the gratitude I have for Tyrell and Amanda for accepting me and preparing me for that conference. It was a week of full-blown TALENT! I met the most amazing people, I strengthened the best friendships I have ever had in my life with the most amazing group anyone could ever ask for, and I learned so much about the industry that I am working towards. With absolutely 0 experience before joining SWMT, I was able to place top ten in three different competitions above 100 other people! My group and I were THE most prepared for IMTA because of the guidance of Tyrell and Amanda. We stood out, and you can too! I could keep writing FOREVER about how amazing SWMT is, and how I think everyone should have an opportunity to meet Tyrell or Amanda, because they are the most genuine people, but this looks like it's getting really long. Please don't let bad reviews or big numbers scare you away from this place, because this is where dreams come true! Trust me, I'm living proof. And if you need extra encouragement, I know about 20 people that can back me up on this. I'd like to end this by saying GO FOR IT! This is the best decision you can make for yourself, please take the opportunity and roll with it. Take the classes, they help! Talk to people, they are your support and your family. And listen to Tyrell, because she is a genius! Pshwifty out

First off I went there to take course and to get a job and start my career.But I don't not…read morerecommend coming here they just want your money.All thought the people were nice aka the teachers and office lady's. You just graduate and receive a certificate paper
