 I need to write a report on something I can do really well and I can't seem to think of anything worthy to write about. Any talents you can tell me about please????????????????? ...

 WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS NEW ORIGINAL WEBSITE? The Talent Agent would have a name in a feature that the talent can choose a Talent Agent to represent them. The talent Agent Business name would be a choice in the registration page, and that would let your talent choose a Talent Agent for booking them, so after they choose thier booking agent then that agent would be their Booking Agent, so when a Film Maker or someone looking for Actors hires one of our talents they would have to go through the agent. However, you will be able to contact the Talent too, because the Talent has a contact link on their profile. Bookmenow.tv also has a a place for the talent to enter their Fan Mail Address, so the Fans can sed Fan Mail to the Talent. Their most original feature on bookmenow.tv website is thier featured famous Fans Login and build a network with their talent. The more fans a talent has the beter they look. The only down side is you may not have any fans that like you as a Talent. I like their ideals anyways! If you are not contacting the talent and joining their network, then you maybe hiring that talent at bookmenow.tv. Once you click on their booking link you are directed to a forum you fill out, and this forum gets sent to the Talents Agents email. Their Agent has 24 hours to contact the person interested in booking the Agents talent. The forum has simple questions such as these: Your Name: Company Name (If Applicable): Location of Event: E-Mail Address: Phone Number: Type Of Entertainment Desired / Exact Entertainer Desired: Date(s) Entertainment Is Needed: Type Of Event: Approximate Entertainment Budget (Including All Misc. Expenses): Number Of Attendees. We think this will be the greatest entertainment website ever built, because of the ideals and originality. How do you think the all the Talent Agents over time will get alone with each other? Do you think this website would help them make more business or would do you think the Talent Agents would crash each other? Do you think the Talent Agents would be fighting over their Talents that are all listed on the same website? Keep in mind that the talent will have thier agents name attached to their profiles. If you think the Talent Agents will make more money on this ideal, then please explain your thoughts on how you would make more money by a website like bookmenow.tv? Could you work with all of these Talent Agents on one website as a Talent? Please give bookmenow.tv thoughts about this message that has been brought to you by, Bookingentertainment.tv. If a Talent joins bookmenow.tv website and say they don?t have a Talent Agent, they can choose from a list of Talent Agents that is listed with bookmenow.tv. Talent has a choice on bookmenow.tv to represent their self. The talent can enter their own self as the booking agent, and this works out because the talent that is not making musch money can choose not to pay an Agent. BOOKMENOW.TV HAS SPENT OVER 40 THOUSAND DOLLARS ON THIS IDEAL TO CREATE THE WORLDS BEST TALENT AND TALENT AGENT WEBSITE. If I was a Talent Agent I would welcome the competition and probably get to know the other agencies to expend my Talent across the United States. You could even send your Talent through other Agents to get them picked up on another cities far away. This would work because the Talent Agent still has to keep control over the booking and contracts on bookmenow.tv. Indeed, this ideal would open up more doors for the Talent Agents and Talent accross the world. We like the ideal Bookmenow.tv has, and we like the ideal behind hiring famous talent to a privet party. Bookmenow.tv has been working on a way to keep children safe on thier website, so they can get involved with other children talent accross the world. The project is (Verify Child First) and would be as simple as checking on the members profile through a childrens network. This would be easy as calling the parents of the childs profile to make sure the profile is used by a child, and once this has been researched and approved the website would approve that profile to connect with other children profiles. This project would cost around 10 thousand dollars. Bookmenow.tv has stressed that the parents must teach their children different ways on how to stay safe on the internet. (Verify Child First) project will take some time and money until bookmenow.tv can set this project in place. If you would like to help them with this cause then you can contact them throght thier site to let them know you would like to help them out with keeping children safe. Please give us your feed back about what you think about this new original website (bookmenow.tv). ...

 STAY AWAY FROM THIS SO CALL MODELING AGENCY. THEY SCAM BOTH ME AND MY SON.PLEASE READ BELOW Easy Background Check Diamond Productions, Inc. aka Diamond Productions Talent Booking aka Commercial Cast ( text which could not be verified. You cannot tell if they were made up. The About Us page did not provide the names and testimony of any industry leaders or major clients recommending CommercialCast and its unusual practices. Unusual Practices Diamond Productions aka CommercialCast is not your typical modeling and talent agency. In fact, after reviewing many different modeling companies, it is fair to say there is nothing like Diamond Productions. It is quite unusual, and not in an obviously good way. For example, DP says it is not an agency (even though the Maryland law defines an agency as a company that "provides a client with information to enable the client to obtain employment"), but it has paid the surety bond, which is required of every employment (modeling/talent) agency. A model on one modeling website, CurvyChick.com, sarcastically called Diamond Productions a "'non-agent' agency." It is also called Diamond Productions Talent Booking, according to the BBB. Booking agencies for modeling and acting jobs typically charge no fees for anything before talent works. DP charges a registration fee and charges talent for several extra services. Typically modeling agencies always take a commission, usually 20%; whereas DP says it does not collect any commission. DP says it also does "a phone audition service which guarantees talent participation in on-the-spot auditions." ([March 15, 2005]. This is highly unusual. Unknown talent receive notices of guaranteed bookings or "Booking Confirmations" for commercials, etc., when they have never even met with the client. Normally, talent goes to an audition or more than one audition, actually speaks in front of the client or casting director, who can evaluate their look and discern their talent. You have to wonder what kind of clients book talent they have never met. Telephone calls are no substitute for meeting one-on-one. Fees, Fees, and More Fees Diamond Productions charges talent advance fees. After they are "booked," they are asked to pay a $75.00 "job guarantee" fee. > I recently replied by sending a head shot and resume for a casting call > to a website called www.commercialcast.org. I received a response stating > that I had been selected to appear in a television ad for XXXX. A speaking > role for a spec commercial. It seems pretty detailed with an address, the > amount of pay and shooting date. They do however require a $75.00 job > guarantee fee. Here is all the information that was emailed to me. I am > supposed to pay and respond by XX-XX so if you have any information it > would be greatly appreciated. This socalled job guarantee fee is not common of modeling/talent agencies and it is widely regarded as unethical to charge talent any registration fees, no matter what terms, phrases, or words are used to conceal or blur the fact they are registration fees. Talent, further, are asked to pay audition fees. "To participate in the current auditions, you will need to pay a one-time access fee of $60 to Diamond Productions to obtain full access for a period of one year." Reputable modeling and talent agencies do not charge audition fees. ([March 15, 2005]. Diamond Productions has devised as many ways as possible to take your money before you work. For an internet "marketing tool" or scrapbook, called a "magazine," you must pay $25. You can pay even more if you want to be featured on their website: SUPERB MAGAZINE IS AN ONLINE MAGAZINE TO BE VIEWED BY SUBSCRIPTION HOLDERS ONLY. TO BECOME A SUBSCRIPTION HOLDER, YOU MAY RECEIVE ONLINE COPIES OF EACH MONTHLY ISSUE FOR THE AMOUNT OF $25 FOR 6 MONTHS. . . . 1 MONTH APPEARANCE FEE = $50.00. ([March 15, 2005]. Consumers also report they were asked to pay DP for classes by video. This was highly unusual and self-serving, because the talent had apparently already been booked--before the training! Why would an agent book talent if it had not been trained or it felt that training was needed? Obviously it normally would not do this, but in the DP case, it gets paid a nice chunk of change. > I am an aspiring actress and had submitted to this company who now > says it will book me in a commercial for XXXXX. All I need to do > is come up for a preparation workshop to guarantee my spot. They > sent me an email with a contract that looks very good. Please let > me know about this as I have to sign up by XXXXX to reserve my > spot. DP's commercialcast website indicates they book talent in California: Commercialcast New York is our Talent Booking Division for New York based talent. This division handles talent to be cast in the New York, New Jersey and the Washington, DC areas. A wide rangs [sic] of bookings are handled in the Los Angeles area of California as well. ([March 15, 2005]. California law, however, is extremely strict with respect to advance fees charged to talent. Labor Code 1700, for example, prohibits talent agencies from charging any fees for anything before talent gets work. Talent agencies are not even allowed to collect fees, even if they keep none of them for themselves. The law is set like that because so many scams charged talent advance fees. How the scheme works Since DP is uncommon in its fee schedule, not charging commissions, you have wonder why. The only rational explanation is DP thinks or knows it can make more money from charging talent fees instead of getting commissions. What other explanation is there? There is not enough information available yet to call DP a scam, even though it charges advance fees for registration and classes like many modeling scams, but there is an obvious scheme. The scheme is designed to get talent to pay them before they work and even if they don't work. The lure is very strong when talent receives a "Booking Confirmation" notice. This makes it appear as if talent has already got a job. Excitement takes over. It appears as if they are so close to working as an actor or model, the hardest part is complete. Now all they have to do is show up or pay a little fee to guarantee a job. The fee seems so trivial in comparison to the mega bucks they could earn; it seems worth it. This has the effect of stringing talent along. Then they are told about the acting seminar or video. Less than $200? Nothing compared to the big bucks they'll earn from commercials and residuals, right? Not so fast! The fact that DP does not take commissions could mislead talent into thinking they are getting a deal, i.e., after they work, they keep all the money, nothing gets cut for the agency. If the payout, however, is very small, because the job was very minor, it does not help talent, and it is certainly not a "deal." Money Back If you want your money back, know that DP paid $7,000 into an "insurance" fund for those who feel they were misled, and you could make a claim for a portion of this money. (First-come, first-served ...
