City Model and Talent got me the exact placements that I wanted. I made a wishlist, and let them know what I was looking for. Next thing I know, I'm getting more casting calls tha...

This is one of the biggest modeling scams out there. 79 year old Jeffrey Mitchell meets with clients and essentially ""forces"" them to hand a credit card number over immediately....

Thanks Jack at City Model and Talent 3/19/2012

After reading some less than glowing reviews on this site I was reluctant to visit City Model and Talent. I have to say though that our representative Jack presented the opportunity in a no nonsense easy to understand form. I can see how others may have expected more than they recieved but the contract I sighned clearly stated the extend of thier resposibility. Our children have a dream of becoming famous and who am I to say it isn't going to happen. They all had a fabulous time taking the pictures and feeling pretty and important. That alone made the experience worth the price. If the agency acutally gets them work then Consider it a bonus. To those who feel ripped off or scammed I am sorry you didn't have a useful experience. Following your dream is sometimes discouraging but enjoying the pursuit is a key to your success. If and when we get to audition I will update my post but for now I got what we sighed up for and were treated to an exciting experience. Special thanks to Ginger for her help in choosing our slides. more

City Model and Talent is not a scam...trust me! 2/29/2012

my daughter and I were just signed and within two days was put forth for a casting on a tv series. In fact not even within 24 hours Jackie emailed us confirming our enrollment with CMT and answered all our questions. She keeps the facebook page up to date with casting calls for fashion shows, print ads, plays, musicals, and tv series auditions. Jackie keeps consistent contact and continues to look for work for not only us but all her models and actors. We are very pleased and look forward to all our projects. Yes there is a small fee to pay out at the beginning, but if you truly shine during the interview process and they really like you, you will get positive results. You need to come into the industry with an open and positive mind, then you will truly make it. more

City Model and Talent is no JOKE!!!! 2/17/2012

I just signed with City Model and Talent this past weekend and did NOT have to pay for anything!!! I saw all of their bookings they got for their clients on thier web page blog and their facbook page. I am so impressed with their professionalism. For all of you posting FALSE and negative things about them are just jealous b/c they didn't think you were the right client for them to market and CLEARLY they are right, b/c you are all so unprofessional and childish! You have no proof for anything you say.....THEY DO! more

MAJOR SCAM-SCARY! 2/8/2012

This is one of the biggest modeling scams out there. 79 year old Jeffrey Mitchell meets with clients and essentially ""forces"" them to hand a credit card number over immediately. He is showing off clients that he has not worked for or with but has ""stolen"" off of other agencies pages. When I said I did not have the money for him and had to get it from my parents, he kicked me out of the office. This is SCARY. Please stay away and do not get sucked into this. Agents only make money when you book jobs. You should not have to pay 2,000 to work for his photographer in his office! more

10 short reasons whey they are fraud 2/5/2012

1. You have to pay between $450-$900 for pictures. 2.. Tell you its possible to bring your own pictures, but the guy behind the desk with the big ears said he does not take pictures from else where. 3. He will show you a picture of a girl from the trash can and say he could not work with her because of her attitude. Now lets think about that, if he can not accept pictures from else where, why did he take her picture and then rips it off. 4. He shows me laminated article of fraud cases from churches and other places. 5. He is on the defensive and ready to proof that they are not a fraud or scam. Why have articles and everything ready just in case you are checked up on. 6. Why do they accept everyone? I stood outside for almost 2hrs and asked everyone that came out and everyone had to pay for pictures. 7. If you really have talent, they should take yourpictures for free without having you pay 400 for pictures taken with a 500 camera. 8. They play music in the back and say they had been so busy because of a casting call. While there really was not a casting call because I never saw anyone come outside their doors. 9. Did not even talk to my kid, he spent the whole time trying to convince me that they are not fraud. 10. Finally, when you are there, open your eyes and ears and you will see what I am talking about. They think they are smart and its sad that they take hard working people's money and go home and eat with their families. more

wouldnt trust my daughters career in anyone elses hands 1/26/2012

I am a total stage mom and proud of it! I worked with exactly 5 different talent agencies prior to trying out city Model and Talent. From the gate I knew they were right for her career. It took a little while but the company worked hard and my daughter has ongoing castings and work. Legitimate, personable, and dedicated as long as you are. more

Jackie Works so Hard for Her Clients! Great Agency 1/26/2012

I have worked with Jackie at City Model and Talent for 3 years now and she would not let me give up on my career even during down times. I am now a regular call back for a few popular cable TV shows. As the owner of City Model and Talent she really campaigns for us as her clients. I consider her more than my talent agent she is also a friend. I wouldn't change my agency reps for all the world. more

I was cast for an NHL commercial with City Model and Talent 1/25/2012

Working with City Model and Talent has been the best boost to my career. They booked me for an NHL commercial that airs on cable now ( fun to sit and see it come on during the games with friends btw). I have a supporting role in a new feature film coming out in the summer. The connections that I have made through City Model and Talent wont soon be forgotten. more

First month they booked me as a featured Music Video Model 1/25/2012

I found out about City Model and Talent last New York City Fashion Week. I signed up with them at their Saks Fifth Avenue Fashions Night Out Table. I have nothing but great things to say. I had not been working with them for that long and I was cast as one of the featured models in a music video with a VERY popular name. They have also sent me on quite a few go sees on that resulted in a booking for this upcoming February fashion week. I cant thank CMT enough! more

The Real Deal- I adore the City Model and Talent Team 1/25/2012

This agency is the real deal and if I could stand at the top of a mountain and scream it for all to hear I would. I have worked with quite a few trying to break into the modeling industry being that i have always been told that I have the looks for it. I always end up going in and meeting with them and then I am booked for notta- nothing. City Model and Talent has been AMAZING! I met with the owner Jackie Krentzel and she talked to me about what their agency could do for me. Then a few weeks later the jobs just started rolling in. I booked a runway show with them and was invited back to model for the designers in a print ad. it is such a tough industry to break into but City Model and Talent is one the few real agencies that can actually help you make it out there. more
