It was a fun day being an extra for Walkers. Got to meet loads of people on the day and everyone was friendly. Thanks Models Direct!

Kristian

I wasn't too nervous if anything I was excited to see what I would be doing. We were being filmed for a house party for a well known food brand, I was tasked with taking selfies with cut out Instagram board and then joining the rest of the revelers to let loose in the main party scene. My favorite part had to be the ending shot with all of us partying in the main area it was also were we would all get our main camera exposure. It was great fun being apart of the advert and I'd love to get the opportunity to do something like that again. I'd definitely recommend others to look at  joining Models Direct with the opportunity to take part in great things like this advert. It shows that you don't have to be a professional but it certainly helps you build a good portfolio for if you are looking to take up modelling or acting etc.

I found this shoot for Northshot productions  a most pleasurable shoot. I had been given my script well in advance to learn the lines and the production team were friendly, professional and efficient.I was playing the part of a builder who after 35 years of running his own business was presented with the opportunity to generate an income stream from new software which has been developed by an American company. The filming took place in a church which had been converted into a spa and was a very impressive building.

Whilst I would not say I have learnt any new skills I felt as I always do, that a new acting experience can only help me develop.
Thank you Models Direct, I would welcome the opportunity to work with the same crew again.

Thanks to Models Direct I was given another assignment whereby I was to model and  promote men's underwear  in the Bullring  shopping center in Birmingham. 

This was a very nerve wracking thought to be stood there in such a public space but the client and camera crew made me feel very at ease and were very accommodating with any issues or needs.

The whole time I was there was very enjoyable and I had a lot of laughs and fun with the other models that were there. From meeting these people I have made new friends. 

It was a very fun project to be involved in and I would definitely recommend these sorts of assignments to anyone looking to further their career and gain experience in this market. 

I have gained confidence from doing this particular job and really look forward to my next assignment from the agency.

I felt very happy being a model for the day at The Birmingham Bullring Shopping center. I was a little nervous on my way to the shoot but as soon as I got there and introduced my self to everyone, I felt comfortable due to a friendly welcoming. The most enjoyable part of the assignment was interacting with the audience. The experience gave me more confidence working and connecting with new people. I would recommend the experience to others because the day was absolutely fun and enjoyable to take part in, and there is nothing more fun than being a model. 
If others are thinking of pursuing work in the talent industry I strongly advice joining an agency because it is their job to find you work and help you move forward in your career. I have been proactive in pursing work / updating my e-portfolio because I believe if you want to achieve and be successful in life you have to motivate yourself and drive to be better. Listening to feedback when given is always good as it will give you an idea of what needs to be improved to be the best you aim to be. I personally joined Models Direct because of my ambition in becoming a model and having experience in this field at a young age will help in the nearer future.

Being a model for the day was a fun and great experience, something that I would love to do again. The most enjoyable part of the assignment was meeting knew people from different parts of the country. For the assignment 5 models including myself had to model men underwear to the public in Birmingham Bullring Shopping Center. The public could get involved and rate what underwear they would prefer and thought would be most popular as a gift. It was fun and enjoyable as the public had a variety of views on what underwear they would prefer to wear or buy. I definitely gained more confidence from the assignment. I think it is a good move to join an agency as I wouldn't of got the opportunity to do this otherwise. I joined Models Direct to gain experience being a model and to  travel around the country and meet different people.

This was my first ever paid modelling shoot and I really didn't quite know what to expect. But as soon as I arrived at the main entrance, the atmosphere steadily became vibrant and full of positive energy.

The type of photo shoot was for a corporate eyewear company and I was interested to see what type of quirky designs they would have for us to model.

I couldn't believe how blessed I felt to be surrounded by such warm, down to earth, loving individuals. It was everything you could ever dream of as a model. The atmosphere was second to none.

Lyn, who's the Director of Strategic Planning - Sales and Marketing at ASE Corporate Eyecare Ltd, not forgetting the rest of the team, were absolutely amazing and extremely fun to have around. There were fond moments whereby we were all caught up in huge hysterics, it was great. They made us feel well relaxed and there was plenty of tea and coffee to go round. Kim also shared out some special candy to keep our sugar levels up.

There were tonnes and tonnes of glasses available to our disposal, 4,000 to to be precise. If we had another 1,000 models that would have made the atmosphere a tiny bit different.

Graeme the photographer was great to work with, so many stories to tell, also contributed to the relaxed and chilled atmosphere.

Lots of food and refreshments were served, fantastic hospitality as well as everything else. We all sat down together for a friendly lunch and a nice chit chat amongst the whole crew.

Ed and Katherine were the other models who I worked with during the shoot. Katherine is more experienced in the modelling game, whereas Ed and I were the virgins fresh out of Models Direct. We all got along so well and it was quite sad when we all had to part ways at the end, but we all exchanged details hoping to reunite in October when our photos will be displayed at an exhibition in Central London. Something to look forward to indeed.

Despite the rain throughout the whole shoot, we had plenty of sunshine in the building to go round. I would most certainly recommend signing up to Models Direct. I gained so much confidence and I also learnt to be myself, because who I was to everyone and where I came from really didn't matter, I was treated as an equal and I felt secure within myself being amongst everyone involved in the photo shoot.

I would just like to take this opportunity to thank Molly Robinson who is one of the Models Direct recruitment managers for giving me the opportunity to work with some amazing people. Would I do it again? What do you think? I can't wait for the next assignment. Bring it on!

Lukasz

Another fantastic opportunity given me by Models Direct.  This time I worked for Love English Apples. I was slightly nervous at first as this was the first time I was filmed, instead of just posing for photographs.  As always, I would like to do it again and again. I love this kind of work! 

I had a few journey issues, but arrived at the farm safely. It was fun when I had to simulate that I cut my finger while being filmed saying a few words. I had to repeat myself a few times but we got it!

With every new assignment I feel more confident.  It is always very exciting as every job is different and I learn new skills and get new experiences.

I would recommend Models Direct to anybody wishing to get started in the industry. Thank you to the MD team for your support and finding me the new opportunities.

This was my second assignment with Models Direct, and again I really enjoyed the experience. The client was very welcoming and guided me through the poses they wanted. This shoot has given me further experience with working in the industry. The project also involved working with young children which was really fun and added a different dimension to the work.

Steve


Great assignment, excellent experience and brilliantly organised.  Cheers Models Direct!

Andrew

Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed my car dealership shoot on Tuesday via Models Direct. It involved me being a salesman for the new showroom catalogue.  Lots of smiling was needed all day and it was such fun to do. I would recommend everyone to have a go at this, it can be a very enjoyable experience!

Recently had a fab time filming with Northshot Productions for an American internet advert. The fellow actors and crew were so friendly and we all got on well. The days filming was such fun. Thank you so much Models Direct for representing me and the support you provide. I would recommend Models Direct to anyone who is interested in this work :)
 

Ed

Everyone was very friendly and easy to work with, it made the day very enjoyable!


I had such a fun day doing this eyewear modelling shoot. Everyone was very friendly and easy to work with, it made the day very enjoyable. A small group of us were modelling a whole range of eyewear in various settings to be used for promotional material. For me I need to balance my availability with the style of shoot and this complimented really well. I look forward to shooting similar assignments!

David

Although a long day it was very enjoyable. The crew and other models were fun to work with and interesting to talk to. We were put into different scenarios including a train station and a hospital, and the lead photographer kept a good pace throughout the day. I would recommend modelling to anyone, it's great fun to do something different and to meet new people. I decided to join Models Direct not just for some extra money but because I'm quite outgoing and for me this was a very fun thing to do - a cracking day!

Great experience, the crew was friendly and patient.  I enjoyed the diversity of the shots, whereby I was acting as NHS consultant.  I have definitely learned some new skills, thanks Models Direct!  I would recommend this to everyone looking for fun and some extra cash.

It was a really interesting if slightly nervous experience filming for J.Walkers Productions. A great insight into all aspects of filming in front of and behind camera. I was allowed to be creative with my lines and also had a hand in suggestions for angles and locations.

The assignment involved a ten minute scripted two page dialogue between myself and the actor Bryan Lawrence (Soldier Soldier/London's Burning). 
It was a promotional video for a software company based in America  targeted at the Internet as opposed to mainstream TV.

I would highly recommend this to anyone thinking of doing it.
I signed up to Models Direct  because acting is an art that intrigues me and something I always wanted to be tested by as I have years of experience in front of large audiences as a big band lead vocalist.

A superb three hours! Thank you!

Steve

I arrived at the assignment for Resource Marketing, promoting an Assisted Living Complex in Devon, feeling a little apprehensive. However my apprehension was totally unfounded as the guys in charge of the campaign and shoot were extremely friendly and very professional.

Being in front of the camera is both exhilerating and exciting and I would encourage anyone who is thinking about making a move into the world of modelling to take that next step.

Directions were clear and concise which made the assignment easy and comfortable. Four models were hired for the day and we were required to re-create various scenarios that residents may find themselves in. Including, gardening, having fun in the activity area, dining, I.T. training, living within their own apartment,working out in the gym etc. etc.

I would fully recommend anyone to step forward and give it a go. It was fun, exciting, entertaining, educating and getting paid as well.

My advice to anyone going out on an assignment. Is to listen, listen and listen some more. This allows you to understand exactly what is required.

One last little tip, learn as much about the assignment in advance. So you are prepared with the right clothing and small props that you may need.

But more than anything else have fun. Because I did. Thanks Models Direct!

What a wonderful day! Doing modelling acting and having fun shooting for Resource Marketing . On the day Steve, another experienced model on set with me said Models Direct are really good and now I have positive feedback I can now look forward to more work with Models Direct.

The crew were very good and the makeup artist need congratulating on a great day as well as the other members of Models Direct.

Compliments due.

I joined Models Direct after I took semi-retirement and had a bit more spare time on my hands. I am a fairly confident person and love meeting new people. I wanted to do something completely different and it seemed like a fun and interesting thing to do. This was my first assignment and I was booked to pose as part of a couple using Airport Parking Facilities for a holiday company. The assignment took place near Aberdeen Airport and was over three days. I didn't quite know what to expect, but I needn't have worried as the crew were fantastic at putting me at ease and explaining exactly what they needed from me. I thoroughly enjoyed working with my partner and the crew and learned about the process of shooting an advert. I found the whole experience totally enjoyable and really exciting, and would certainly like to do more work like this in the future.

I think it has been a great move for me to join Models Direct as they have managed the whole booking process with professionalism. They have also been extremely encouraging and supportive.

Had a great afternoon with a group of people. Wasn't at all nervous as I was given a good amount of information beforehand so I could prepare and know what is needed before I even turn up.

Other people there were friendly, all happy to get involved and help out. This was a shoot for the Salisbury Group advertising material.

The photographer was brilliant, knew what he was doing and understood the models.

Always done work representing myself, but good to also have a agency on the side to get extra work and experience in.

This was my first assignment with Models Direct, I would recommend them and I look forward to many other jobs.

It was a really nice experience, it was relaxing and fun. I wasn't nervous at all.I would definitely do it again! The most enjoyable part of the assignment was that everything was rolling smooth and easy,no high pressure, only good vibes. The assignment involved shooting in several poses as a cleaning person for a company that provides this kind of services. I was instructed to be normal and not over act, because it would look fake. I learned how to pose and keep my stature so I can look good in pictures. If someone wanted to join the industry, I would recommend to join an agency like Models Direct because they can provide support, helpful tips and they put you in contact with possible employers. I decided to join up because of ambition and the extra income so I'm really looking forward to more work.

I felt great being the model of the day. I felt nervous initially as I didn't know what to expect, but on the other hand I was very excited about this opportunity. I had so much fun and could have spent more time there as I was genuinely enjoying my assignment when I was told my role was finished. I'll definitely do this again and can't wait, but I have to LOL!

My duties involved carrying out the step by step duties of a nurse on a daily basis.  First I had to prepare fluids which I was to administer to a patient, then we had the hand washing session, patient mobilization, reporting to the doctor on ward rounds.


I enjoyed working with the NHS team whom were very warm and friendly as well as communicating with my patients for the day.

I certainly gained more confidence as I was able to meet my personal expectation as well as what was required of me. I realized my acting skills had got a lot more better as it came naturally when I was told to communicate with patients. A fellow actor (patient) recommended I went for it as I came across so natural and she thought such talent should be shown to the world

I'll definitely recommend this experience to others as I have done already because its an opportunity to express your talent, network and also discover more about yourself as in my own case after this experience I intend to open doors for my acting skills/career.

I think its a good move to be under an umbrella of a talent agency and will definitely recommend Models Direct as I have been already even before securing my first job. I'm very active in pursuing work as I do this everyday. I update my portfolio regularly when I have a good photo as I understand it is my CV to securing more work for the future

I joined Models Direct when I realized I was bored of working 9-5 in an office. I thought there would be great opportunities to do more exciting things as a model/actor. Lots of hard work goes into it however due to the sporadic nature of being a model/actor where you could be here today and there tomorrow whilst meeting great personalities and different locations. I thought this was more for me.
