We pride ourselves on being up front and candid about what you should expect to invest in your child’s career and the pitfalls you should avoid. We are forthright about what you should expect, we will tell you the truth (even when it isn’t what you want to hear) and guide you through the steps of becoming a good stage parent. Integrity and transparency is at the core of everything we do at Talent INC and we stand by our program as the best of its kind in the entire industry. Please check out our real success stories (click here), research our reputation, and ask us pointed questions. We look forward to working with you on bringing your child’s talent forward. EXPOSING
When you are ready, we will introduce you to agencies in larger markets like New York & Los Angeles through our National Talent INC Showcase & Convention. Unlike other showcase conventions, we limit attendance to 250 participants. This keeps the ratio of talent to agents around 10-1 and guarantees what few other searches, conventions, and showcases can. During the National Showcase, you will have the opportunity to perform full length programs in front of the appropriate agencies AND have the opportunity to meet with each agency in attendance. While one of the most valuable opportunities you will receive is being exposed to many different agencies, you will also receive a total of 13 education credits for your resume.

The whole concept of Talent INC evolved from one child’s dream of being a star and the career that was born of that dream (click here to read the story). Scott Cooper, Founder & President of Evolution Talent Management in Hollywood, Ca., started out as a child actor in rural North Carolina with a dream of being on TV, but he would have to wait until adulthood to work professionally as an actor. Cooper created Talent Inc so that he could bridge the gap between new, undiscovered talent and the industry decision makers. He started with the simple question, “What if I could audition, identify, nurture and educate those people, like me, with talent and a dream? What if I could introduce my contacts at major agencies to the new talent that I discover and develop? These undiscovered talent can meet these agents, many of them former co-workers, entertainers and friends that I share a deep mutual respect and understanding of the industry from all sides? What if I guaranteed them that the conference attendees were personally coached and developed by me and my staff so that I could showcase a collection of some of the best, most prepared new talent in the world? The answer to all of these questions is what has evolved over the years into Talent INC. Even experienced talent needs to constantly evolve to stay relevant and at the top of their game, especially in this ever-changing, uber-competitive industry. You can have a life-long long career, if you chose to, but one of the most important pieces of advice I can offer is to ENJOY the process. Whether you are an aspiring child star, Sr Citizen, or a veteran actor, you cannot measure success by anything greater than your love for what you do. ENJOYING
Talent INC is what I consider my mission in the industry and the fulfillment of a much bigger dream. More than just achieving success for myself, it is creating the opportunity for success for so many thousands of others to enjoy. I cannot promise you stardom or predict that you will go on to big fame and fortune. No agent, casting director, talent scout or parent can make success happen. Only you hold the answer to how far and fast you can achieve your goals. Talent INC can help you define those goals. There is no magic formula for making you successful. I will tell you that if you invest in mastering your skill, developing a game-plan and getting the right exposure, you will be taking the first steps. Talent INC can help you to do this. The one thing I want you to get from Talent INC more than anything is enjoyment. Of course we will help to get you the technical training, experience and exposure that you need to get started, but careers are like relationships. You only get out of them what you are willing to give and they only last as long as you are invested. If all of the work, sacrifice, money and sheer determination does not bring you a high level of enjoyment, then you are pursuing the wrong career. You can not be successful in this industry, if your heart and soul isn’t in it. You can not fake it or phone it in. Casting director, agents and I can spot the real spark of joy in the eyes of talent who loves what they do from a mile a way. It’s the first thing we look for and the last thing we remember. In that, we ask parents to really carefully consider that this is the child’s dream and not their own before pursuing this industry.
