March 12, 2007 - A global model and talent portal based in Germany offers exclusive access and networking to models, actors and industry professionals alike.
International Models Journal (IMJ-Online) site for talent and modeling http://www.imj-online.com, is a global networking medium between models, actors, scouts, casting directors, agents and industry professionals alike (referred to bookers on IMJ-Online). Originally launched in 1999, IMJ-Online publishes vital news, information, casting calls and member stories, guiding hopefuls around the world to a chance at fame.
Bookers who seek a broad spectrum of new models and talent may register at IMJ-Online for free, receiving access to a large database of unique and exotic faces. Registered bookers may publish announcements, casting calls and auditions to find the right persons through IMJ-Online.
Registered models may create a portfolio and bio displaying past experiences using photos and text. Portfolio entries may include, runway shows, promotional events, beauty pageants, photo shoots, magazine features/covers, stage entrances and still shots from TV or movie appearances. Bios serve as a complex insight on the model and highlights different textures of personality including a list of facts like birth, education, work, relationships, awards, achievements, dreams, desires, goals and aspirations.
Admission into the IMJ-Online portal is a rather exclusive arrangement; only about 30 percent of models requesting admission are accepted in the International Models Journal; virtually 700 out of 1,000 models are rejected due to extremely poor photo quality or lack of effort.
Bookers accessing the website may search through a model’s bio, portfolio and composite card and send specific models or actors casting calls and booking requests. All requests from bookers are screened by an editor, ensuring the model does not get spammed with advertisements or inappropriate requests.
IMJ-Online is the first talent promotion website allowing models and actors to publish self written success stories, feature articles, advice columns and reports. Members may submit their articles where thereafter, an IMJ-Online editor will edit and post their publication to the website, tagged with photos, contact information and the member’s personal homepage.
Email enquires concerning photo quality are a high priority to IMJ-Online.
The Web site takes special initiative, advising members on ways to improve photos and finding professional photographers and studios in their area.
“Our mind set concerns quality over quantity, we run a professional site, only working with those who are serious about pursuing a career in the model and acting business. Bookers don’t have time to spare on undedicated applicants,” said Carmella Agnello-Sanders, editor at IMJ-Online.
The service is always available to industry professionals free of charge. It’s quick, easy and gimmick-free.
