Go-See (Similar to an audition, you visit a client to whom you will show your portfolio) G.I.F.T.S (Giving Information For Talent Success)
Go-See G.I.F.T.S was founded in 2003 in aims of helping talented individuals at every stage of their career. That is our mission: to keep models modeling, and actors acting; to assist those with talent who are getting started in the right direction by providing them with exclusive casting calls, and arranging photo shoots with top photographers and pointing them to legitimate contacts to work with. Having over 15 years of experience in this business, we wanted to provide both aspiring talent, and seasoned vets with the numerous contacts and knowledge that we have been blessed to accumulate over the years, and G.I.F.T. this information to help them succeed. We have met hundreds of people in our career who we felt were just getting the wrong information.

Over the years, we have been asked questions many times, such as: “What steps do I need to take to get started,” “Who should I go to for my headshots/portfolio,” or, “Where should I send the photos once I get them,” “How do I avoid the many pitfalls and obstacles of this industry?” “Where should I go for acting classes?” and “Are modeling classes, or conventions worth the money? People are constantly asking us if they have “the look”. Our role, recently, has been not only to connect with people in hopes of finding some great talent, but also, and more importantly, to give them information that we have been blessed to receive over the years. Not only are we interested in helping people break into business, but we are really just focused on bettering the industry by offering an honest service.
