Castings and Updates

We automatically submit our talent for every project that fits their look and location. Note that only about 25% of our projects are announced publicly, so be sure your images and contact information are up to date!

If your profile is complete, you are automatically submitted for all projects that fit your look!

What's Happening!?
While our great talent hit this page and wonder what's going on, our Talent Chefs are really busy behind the scenes casting some cool projects. Things continue to be very busy and clients keep coming back because of our great Talent. Here are a few things we've been submitting you for-

Coca Cola
An Energy Company
A Carpet Company
A National Magazine

Yes, some mystery in the listings. If you've been around long enough, you know that some of our clients don't like announcing what advertising they are working on so that's why the secrecy.

Welcome to all the new seasoned professional models, fresh up and comers, and of course all the "real" people that jumped in the Mix for fun. We are honored to have you and welcome to the Soup!
Hello, hello, anyone in there??
Hey there.
Yes, we are still working like mad behind the scenes (and the website) to deliver more projects to our incredible talent. While the economy seems to be slowing down, TalentSoup talent are still in demand! So, keep your profiles updated and be sure to upload any new pictures should you make any dramatic changes to yourself (think hair color, a new piercing or maybe that giant chin implant you've always wanted!! Kidding, of course).

Don't forget you can add as many pics to your profile as you need to show our clients your "visual range". Great beach shots, dressed up for a night on the town, out playing football with friends, dressed to kill for a fun party...all of these events make for great images so put up some fresh shots!

To keep you guessing, the Talent Chefs are busy at work crafting some delicious changes to the site that will help us to help you land more work...shh..it's a secret!!
