Modeling
Modeling includes both fashion and commercial styles. Fashion highlights presence and clean lines, while commercial focuses on natural expression and everyday relatability. We welcome talent suited for either path.
Singing
For artists who love to tell a story through music. This category highlights tone, control, and connection. Whether you lean toward pop, country, Broadway, or something all your own, we want to hear you.
Dancing
For movers with rhythm, expression, and a steady sense of timing. This category allows dancers to bring energy, style, and personality to the forefront, no matter the genre.
Voice Over
For artists with strong vocal presence. This category centers on clarity, tone, and the ability to convey feeling through voice alone—perfect for animation, narration, and commercial work.
Comedy
For those with timing, confidence, and an instinct for what makes folks laugh. Comedy highlights wit, structure, and the ability to connect with an audience.
Acting
For performers ready to step into a role and bring a scene to life. Acting focuses on delivery, emotional truth, and the ability to take direction with ease.
