Pro-Model and Talent Management / PMTM Agency, Akron OH

PMTM is a wonderful agency. They are very attentive, helpful and hands in. You can really tell that they care about their client success.

I enjoyed my acting training at PMTM. Took their audition readiness class and it was so fun! There is a lot to auditioning and they cover it all! My regret is that I did not sign with them. I hope I still am able.
If not I highly recommend this agency. Thank you PMTM.

I have worked many event/modeling gigs throughout San Diego, LA, Chicago, and Cleveland (booked with different PROFESSIONAL agencies.) Who interview you ONE on ONE and actually offer a potential specific talent job with PAYMENT.

Not on a zoom call with 60 different people who are clueless like PMTM did.and NOT offer some type of talent position after the whole 3-4 hour “audition”

I repeat.
The “audition” for this “agency” was a waste of time.no actual acting position was presented during this “audition” and it seemed like they just want to you pay to learn acting skills. Some people might become successful.but many will probably just pay for an acting coach, head shots, ect ect. And go no where with the “skills” they learned. & just waste their money. Be careful of agencies like this. This is not the first one I have seen.

In need of an environment designed to nurture and flourish your talent? Pro Model and Talent Management does that and beyond. PMTM provided me with an amazing opportunity to be surrounded by THE BEST! This agency partners with Shannan Leigh Yancsurak, a well rounded professional acting coach, actress, writer and producer. Taking the course allowed long lasting bonds to fuse and timeless experiences. I'll forever guard these wise words from Shannan herself, "Honor your worth. " PMTM is the place to be if that aligns with your vision too!

I was very pleased with the workshops during the end of the 2020 year. Both Pat and Alyssa were beyond helpful and encouraging to the point where I am now looking to extend my career beyond modeling and get into acting as well. I pray that I can exceed PMTMs expectation and book work even with my location being so far away. I’ve never believed in myself so much, been more ready and most importantly feel prepared a little more than what I was to give whatever it takes to get my foot in the modeling/entertainment industry door.
Thank you so much to all that helped us prepare for our agency meeting. I am very excited for what’s to come next!

I question the motives of this company as they seem to target local citizens that want to model part-time. I'm so regretful of swindling over $1,000 to this company. Please do not be fooled into "paying" for a career. This is not the place to make it. I don't even know where to begin. First of all, this company is notorious for covering up numerous complaints. I noticed on their FB account, they seem to verbally attack anyone who leaves a negative review. Anyone who has a mind of their own and isn't impressionable knows how bad that looks to the general public. It seems a little fishy when they preach on being so "reputable" yet feel the need to address every negative review. That alone speaks volumes! It only makes you look like you're trying to cover something up. Why do you take thousands from people and make them go through this 10 week training when you KNOW that in the end, we will get nothing out of it? It's cruel, and it seems to me you guys are operating a fraudulent "agency. " Does this company have any morals or ethics? Don't waste your time responding to this review stating that you have people working all throughout the tri-state area and internationally, you guys say the same thing over and over again, it's so repetitive. Instead of talking about the people who paid $6000 to do IMTA, and possibly got placed with a more reputable agency, why don't you focus on getting your current models/talent local work? I haven't seen one person from my class listed on your website as a model or talent, why is that? I guess recruiting more victims to spend $1,000 on your classes is how you keep the business running.

In response: my claims are not misleading or false. No one from my class is listed on your website, and not one single person has gotten a job. You seem to market & exploit the same people. Why aren’t WE getting local work? Wasn’t that the point of paying for the classes? You took not just my hard earned money but all 25 of my classmates too. That’s $25,000 you swindled from ONE class, and I state again, NO ONE from my class has gotten a job! Not ONE! And you keep marketing new models, it seems really strange. I think this “agency” needs to be investigated. Tread carefully, anyone who is looking into this agency. Do not be fooled by what they post as it is 100% misleading. Do your research and most importantly save your $$$. This place is committing fraud

I have been with the company 10+ years. I am a working model and Talent with the agency. Most recently, I just booked 2 print assignments and have have also done several reoccurring bridal shows. I have also done multiple promotional jobs with them, and these are just to name a few of the jobs! I have enjoyed working with Pro Model and Talent in my modeling and acting career. They are such a great staff, and truly cares about each of their models and talent. Highly creditable and highly recommended!

I went in with my client who was interviewing. The director greeted me in a very discrediting manner. I felt like I was being interviewed. She went on to put people in Cleveland down by stating no one in Ohio needed management and told my client basically that people he has worked with has no credit because "she" didn't know them. Very unprofessional. She asked ME so many questions about myself and honestly I didn't know WHY. Cleveland has talented, eager and driven people this woman totally crapped on them. I felt VERY upset! Never allow anyone to make you feel like your work doesn't matter, I've worked with great people. They seemed warm and caring but trying to find out about me instead of the person who called was weird. I found out I was going literally 5 minutes before we got there and I felt totally ambushed. Bad business.

My daughter and her class had a graduation ceremony, quite lovely. I've been fortunate to have seen my daughter multiple times involved in modeling shows/ runways. Today I was fortunate to have seen a beautiful blonde hair woman working with a student as my wandering eyes temporarily left the graduating class. All in all, enjoyable evening.

Pro Model and Talent has given me an opportunity to go after a life long dream, Modeling. They give you the tools and support but it's up to you to do the work. The trainers are very talented and they "get you out of your shell". PMTM is definitely my Happy Place! Every time I leave, I feel more confident with who my true self is. I am continuing to learn and grow from this agency and I am so happy to have found them.

It's a pleasure to work with all the Staff over at Pro-Model and Talent. Very Professional, honest and treat you more like family!

Scam, they love you before you pay check on you constantly and talk about the opportunities that they can help you get, but after you pay over 1000 dollars they forget you exist and if you don’t pay for imta your practically dead to them you won’t hear from them.

They are helping me work on my anxiety and be more open in public the modeling and print and acting is a plus

First off. Knew it was a scam before my boyfriend even brought it to me attention.

He went in with a group of people and they talked about how they where a real agency and real agencies does not charge u to get u started or even to help find you a job. They claimed that they hire anyone and everyone regardless of age.etc.

Second day comes the one and one and what do you know they demand $450 for ‘registration’ not only that they want you to pay $70 each week for a 2 hour one day a week class! They are full of it. They will tell u what u want to hear until they get ur money and you will not get a job with all that time and money wasted. I truly believe all these positive reviews are fraudulent created by their employees.

Don’t waste your time and effort. Be smart find a real modeling agency.

And they also changed their name they went by another name but because of all the negative reviews about their scams they changed the name to cover it up.

Stop wasting people time, it is fraudulent and for you to say that real agencies does not charge a fee then turn around to charge a fee is ridiculous. Your wasting people time, say that the first day that they come that they have to come up with thousands of dollars before they can ‘book auditions’ and it’s funny to me that all of these ‘positive reviews’ never spoke a ounce about a payment. Please people ask more specific questions the first day, don’t be shocked when they give you a folder with payments that u have to pay before they start you out with anything. They are not free, honest, and wasted 2 days that we won’t get back.

If you want an Agency that will not only give you the BEST training and guidance available to successfully progress in the entertainment industry (wether it’s modeling, acting, singing, or dance) but build a loving and caring relationship then Pro Model And Talent is for you. Words can’t begin to express my love and appreciation having PMTM in my life as my Mother Agency. I have never felt so ready to take this business head on until I fell into the hands of the wonderful people here. Don’t know how I could do it without them. I TRULY love the friends and the staff that I have met in my journey with them thus far! Don’t hesitate.join the family today!

I want people to be leary of this company. It is a well known fact that any aspiring model should never pay for representation, which is what you are essentially doing. PMTM is not the place to make it. I suggest considering other agencies. I know people who are listed with this agency who said they haven't gotten one job. They want your money and if you don't educate yourself on the business then you will get taken by them. Everyone is good to them if they are willing to fork over the money. Most agencies have a standard and if you don't fit that standard for them then they won't take you. Agencies get paid when they get you the jobs. You don't pay them to find you the jobs. BEWARE

Very friendly people love the atmosphere. Amazing to work with never leave you out in the dark it’s always update on there face book pages. I’m very grateful to be apart of the team

Choosing to go to PMTM is one of the greatest decisions I can honestly say I’ve made to this date. Not only is it a friendly loving environment but you can tell from day 1 or even before scheduling to come in on the phone that they are there to help. Since day 1 my confidence, people skills, and knowledge of all things acting/modeling have grown to new heights. Also with the great experienced staff that they provide I know that I am not only ready to succeed but that I will always have them supporting and helping me reach new heights and goals as a person and as a actor/model. Thank you PMTM for all the skills, knowledge, and confidence you’ve given me as well as the continued push to keep learning everyday in the pursuit of my goals and for also giving me a second family! P.s: YOUR AWESOME

I love pro model and talent. I am a listed model at pro model and talent and I still learn so much from pmtm. Pmtm has given me so many values from; self confidence to photo movement and even networking skills. If you or a child are thinking about becoming an actor andor model this is definitely the place. We are family here and you will be greeted with respect from the first time you walk in the door and the staff are all truly amazing. It's a must if this is your dream.

First off I want to thank everyone at Pro-Model and Talent Management it has been a blessing! The staff is wonderful always helpful and knowledgeable. The instructors pour so much of themselves into their students, you can see and feel that they want the absolute best for each and everyone. The talent scouts truly have a gift to recognize talent and potential. The directors come with a wealth of knowledge, savvy, and experience, without your guidance and direction this process would be next to impossible. My journey with Pro-model and Talent has been an interesting one. My daughter always said mom I want to be on Jesse, and with her personality I knew she should be doing something in the industry. We were shopping in the mall and a shout called us over she loved my daughters fashion sense and overall demeanor and it was off to the races from there She attending IMTA in NYC in 2017 she now has representation in NY, LA, and Chicago and has shot her first paid commercial! I was so impressed by the education she received as an actress and model. I recommended my step daughter to contact the agency, she attending IMTA LA 18 and won 1st place in 6 different competitions. I myself am represented by Pro-model and Talent Management and I will be attending IMTA NY 18! Now its my turn to take the stage, and I couldn't have ask for a better mother agency then this one. You are in the amazing hands all the way around and Pro-model and Talent is known for having the cream of the crop so bring your A game! Our family has been experienced a lot over the past few years, but PMTM helped my youngest daughter make friends and connect with people she would have never been able to connect with. My oldest daughter has been able to share her suggests overcoming leukemia with other who needed motivation. It has helped our bond become even stronger. This agency helped me challenge myself, to show the world who I am and what I am capable of. Its the best feeling to see your growth and progression. At Pro-model and Talent Management you are FAMILY not just a face in the crowd. The love and support you receive here brings tears to my eye! Thank you for being in our lives.
