Our daughter is 14 and has been with Evolution for just over 1 year. This agency never promised us a thing. They provided us an opportunity to gain access to an industry that our daughter was interested in and some introductory lessons. We did go to Talent Inc. and it was an exciting and fun time. We took each step in stride, telling our daughter with each stage that this was all just for fun, learn a little, and know that it is a long shot that it will go any further. She was very well received by modeling agencies during the show and had 13 call backs. Afterwards, our daughter was so charged up she totally committed to chasing this new dream. She downloaded hundreds of poses off of models.com and stuck them on her wall to practice poses. She recorded runway walks and practiced, she studied couture designers, their seasonal lines, famous models and some not so famous models. She studied nutrition and learned yoga and Pilates. She kept in touch with Evolution and Evolution saw the commitment and dedication and reciprocated. Nothing in this industry is handed to you because you are a pretty face, a great body, or a quick wit. It is hard work, sacrifice, and disappointment. They told our daughter she needed to do x,y,z to have a chance and she did it, everything they asked her to do, she did it. After 10 months of signing with Evolution, we had 10 interviews set up in NYC. After a week in NY we had four contract offers to review and now she is signed with one of the best agencies in the world. I don't know what other's experiences have been, but for us, we have nothing but a positive, beneficial, supportive, and honest relationship with them. When you decide to invest in the trip to Talent Inc., go in with the mindset that you are paying an entrance fee to an opportunity. That's it. What you make of that opportunity, and what comes afterwards is up to you.
