I recently had a brush with Le Modeln, but I have previous modeling experience so luckily I sniffed it out... The same way I couldn't help but sniff out Linda's B.O. I then found the other complaint posts regarding Lemodeln and they confirmed my suspicions.
NEVER give a modeling agency a "consultation fee" ($80)... A "booking fee" ($400/year or $30/month... Whatever... They make sure it's all very confusing.)... 500 headshots ($500... You can get 500 headshots for less than $200).
She also told me that most of her talent markets themselves through the website or has to call in to ask to be submitted for a job... This is NOT how the business works. The agent works for you and calls you when there is a call that's suitable for you.
Talent agents DO NOT give crybaby stories about what a tough life they've had... She's rollin' in money... Please, don't think otherwise.
Talent agents DO NOT spend 3 hours trying to talk you into it. The pics on the walls and books of people she supposedly represented is ridiculously outdated and insulting - including the secretary from The Beverly Hillbillies... As if. She'll show you a headshot from the early 80s and then show you a headshot of the same person, but from the late 90s, and say she was responsible for changing the person's look. I almost laughed at that point. I thought next she was going to show me a picture of Halle Berry.
Do not even visit this company!
