Since my last review 11 months ago, I landed a role as an extra in a Netflix feature film! I have continued with the workshops to prepare for the LA tour, which I just recently attended. It was so much fun and such a great experience! Maria, Michelle and Marilyn have been amazing and so helpful getting me prepared for the tour. The last day of the tour I was able to meet with 10 different casting agencies! Some of them expressed an interest in me to Maria. She contacted me and we discussed who would be the best fit for me. I'm happy and excited to say that I am now signed with Manikin, which is

I signed with the agency in 2020, and have had nothing but amazing experiences with them! I recently went on the LA Talent Tour with Maria Seibert as my agent. I had a blast and learned so so much! From that trip, I was able to sign with a National agency based out of Atlanta GA. My agent, Maria, has been so wonderful to work with and she has been so helpful throughout the whole process!! Can’t wait to see what the future holds got me! :)

We have had the opportunity to work with MTM, and let us join the line of people who root for the program they're running. Talented kids/ adults are being birthed from MTM and showing promising futures. The owners are amazing and they know what they're doing. We highly recommend JC Model & Talent Management

I'm pretty sure this company is a scam and they're probably in a rented/leased building. I attended a zoom call meeting to be a potential model and because I've been trying to get into modeling again recently and looking for agencies, I decided to give MTM a try. On top of the fact that their company name is so vague, they don't even have a working website. The only thing on it is a photo strip and blue lettered link text. After being asked to pay $200-$300 a month for "coaching" after only two phone calls, this is definitely a scam. I also specified that I wanted to do modeling only but, they

Friendly, accommodating, incredible staff. We have visited this location on multiple occasion's and the team there is genuinely invested in their clients and giving back to the community. MTM has supported our local charity, NC4K.ORG, for kids fighting cancer giving them a unique experience to gain runway coaching, have head shots taken, and provide just a fun evening out. The fact that they produce high quality models and talents but also include youth that have minimal to no experience speaks volume to their generosity and investment in others. I have only wonderful things to say about MTM. Thank

Maria's efforts to get my foot in the door of the acting industry was critical to my starting career in acting. The workshops we are undergoing so far have been very informative and fun. I hope that Maria and I will work together more in the near future and set a bigger foundation for myself to eventually get recognized for my dedication in acting.

I want to thank the whole staff for being supportive to my daughter. She graduated the class in 2019. She was able to go to California in 2020. I was thankful to be able to sit in the back of the room while she auditioned and during the workshops. I learned a lot from being there. I have been able to help her with recording and making sure the lights are right and the noise is as close to none as possible. Since COVID lifted she has been auditing and has had a couple tools as extras. Thank you for helping her come out of her shell. Thank you for helping her to learn to be more assertive. We look

My daughter started at Joan Casablanca MTM right before covid hit leaving her to finish online via zoom. Although that wasn’t expected from anyone it prepared her for the LA talent tour of which she was selected to attend in January 2022!!!! We are so excited about this journey for her. Little did we know doing local auditions would land her the very first “gig” of her modeling career. She filmed this past Friday for a web series called “A kid name bug” of which she has a blast filming for! She was also shocked on her first zoom training call for LA to see a famous actor get on and talk

MTM… I didn’t know what I was getting myself into when I started their 30-week modeling and acting program, and I’m eternally grateful that I did. Their program and the people I worked with saved my life. Through this family and business I found a new purpose with my life. They gave me the tools and knowledge to pursue my passion of acting.
In 2019, I went from being jobless and homeless, for a time, after getting out of the U.S. Army. I took the leap of faith to join MTM’s 30-week modeling and acting program. I found my reason for living and my new passion through working with them. Now
