What Our Clients Say...
"...My son Igor ( age 14 ) has been with Act Talent for 2 years. His agent Melanie and the whole team is so great, hardworking ,and fighting for their roster very hard. Igor has followed their suggestions and booked three film projects - two actor roles , one principal, and a commercial. Igor was with another agency before for one year and did not have many auditions or bookings. My daughter Martina (age 23) was with two modeling agencies previously- one of them is a top Vancouver modeling agency. She did not get any auditions or bookings there. I then suggested that she sign with Jett Models/ Act Talent. She did, and the very next day she had a fashion-runway booking, and since then she has had many auditions and she has booked almost everything. It was a great change for Martina to switch agencies and to go with Act Talent / Jett Models. Our agent Melanie - and I know all staff at this agency - work 24/7 and the results we can see every week. Their suggestions, ideas, help and hard work is the best we can ask for in this industry. They are true professionals and all of them know how to run this business. I suggest to parents, actors/ models to sign up with Act Talent / Jett Models if you have what it takes." -- Katka Hudacek, mother to Igor and Martina.

"I never thought that my pursuit into film and television as an actor would ever be possible. With the successes of last year, I know that Brigitte was behind me and continues to push for me to get into the auditions. My success is the reflection of your faith, encouragement and dedication. Thank you for believing in me and in what I can do." - Maggie Ma

"Mel and the Act Talent staff have taken us on the ride of our lives. They helped us to aquire the how-to's, and then some. I wouldn't want to be in the film industry without Mel at our side. I came to realize all the exceptional, extra effort and coaching that is put into my daughters, in comparison to other agencies. At Act Talent, they want to see you succeed. It's a competitive industry, and I trust that our agent has the capablity of helping us reach our goals without compromising my children's best interests. Mel is sensitive to this, but also challenges us to be more than we thought we could be. Travelling across Canada, New York, etc, has been an experience of a lifetime. And working with actors such as Al Pacino, Rene Russo, Matthew McConaughey, Renee Zellweger, Russel Crowe, Ron Howard... Wow!..." --- Nadine, mother to Chrislyn & Emma Austin.

"I am extremely impressed with Act Talent. Their agents are very professional, and so devoted to promoting their clients. I especially love all the personal attention that my agent, Keri, gives to my daughter Hailey. Everyone at Act Talent, Mel, Brigitte, Keri and Stu, they are so friendly, and helpful! Thank you Keri, for working so hard to help Hailey attain all the success she has experienced thus far! Your belief in her, has never wavered. We look forward to our future with you Keri, and Act Talent. You are the Best!!! I would recommend Act Talent to anyone who is seeking a fantastic agency to represent them!" --- Deborah, mother to Hailey Shand
