One Source Talent Reviews

I came to One Source Talent in 2006 as a young girl who dreamed of becoming a model with no way to do it. I met with the Talent Specialist in the Detroit office, Emma Reamer, and was as nervous as could be when she stepped out to see if I was marketable. After seeing her comp card online I knew I wanted to become a model and would give anything for her to come back in and tell me that I would get my own.  After hearing the good news I got my card set-up, booked a photo shoot with Scott Sprague and a week later got cast for a huge runway show! I made my mom go with me to buy some new high heels and practiced all week. After the first fashion show I knew that my dream to be a model was going to come true and I continued on with the fashion shows.

One of my favorite fashion shows that I did was a Charity show at the Roostertail in 2008. It was labeled “Be Bad for a Good Cause.” I think I enjoyed it so much because we rehearsed three days in a row coming up to the show and it gave me an opportunity to meet a bunch of new people. I have kept in contact with a lot of the models from the show and have made great relationships with some of them. I enjoy the whole process of fashion or hair shows. Getting the hair, make-up, and clothes –it’s so glamorous!

I feel so lucky to have the contacts that I do in this industry. I started at One Source Talent and have met with everyone from casting directors to make-up artists. I have been able to network myself out into the industry from the people I’ve met through this company. It has been a great beginning source, opening plenty of doors for me. Just recently I attended an event in Chicago called Launch. I met with over forty casting directors and met on a more casual call back with six representatives. I would not have been able to attend that milestone event in my modeling career without seeing everyone here as often as I do.

Since that first day I came into the OST office and got my comp card set-up, I have done over fifty fashion shows, tons of promotional modeling work for dealerships and salons, a few different hair shows, been in 3 magazines-on the cover of one, and worked with two awesome fashion photographers in the metro area. It is interesting to see yourself in a magazine and even more surreal when your family calls you to say they saw you! I have worked with Scott Sprague and Christian O’Grady and loved every shoot with them. They made it so easy for me to just feel as comfortable as you can in front of a camera. I have loved my modeling career so far, and I’m excited to see what’s to come.  Getting a comp card through OST has been an awesome influence in my life and a true help for me when I decided to become a model.  I’m so grateful for everyone there who has and continues to help me out with my dreams of becoming a model!
