Guys I am In total shock! I can’t share it with you at the moment. This happened so fast! I have been persistent, everything I have done up until this moment has prepared me for this. I am so incredibly thankful, Rachele and Jaime I really wish I could squeeze you right now. All the countless miles, classes, photo shoots, runway shows, commercials, and being a extra in a movie and on a couple of tv shoes has lead me to this moment. I have so many people to thank! Thank you God, without you nothing would even be possible. Even when I felt discouraged you kept leading me❤️ My family, my schedule has made you all crazy. I know we’ve missed a lot of get togethers etc. and I have kept mom on the road and I am so thankful for you all. The love and support you have shown has been incredible. ❤️ My friends, for loving me from a distance and always being able to welcome me back when I miss the get togethers,conversations, and all the good times! ❤️ My teachers and coaches for working with me, for pushing me to be the best student I can be and teaching me a lot of adult life lessons. ❤️ My photographers, designers, H/M artist, of which is more like family this is for you ! I love you all so very much ❤️ I guess for now I can say “I’ll catch you at the movies on the big screen “ ❤️❤️❤️❤️ |

Thankful for the opportunity to sign with a GREAT local company that offers such exciting benefits. The leadership of the Acting Classes conducted by the accredited staff is second to none. You WILL learn the business. As well as the Agents that are continuously booking talent for roles around the country.

Good evening, I just wanted to let you know that I am very thankful for your efforts to ensure quality type audition's. As you are aware that I am still learning more and more each role I'm cast in, each audition and runway event. Learning the process and procedures is in itself quite the experience. 16 months ago I came to GAGE and invested in the possibility of learning about the business in acting and modeling. Completely different from anything else I have done. I've seen more than I imagined possible in the short amount of time about this business. So, I'm just trying to say to you and GAGE, thank you very much for believing in me and allowing me to learn more. Experience is the best teacher. Of course Ms. Joy is too! Tough as nails. Thank you again!
-Gerald E.
Rachele, So the other night I’m on set working on Still the King. I am playing the bouncer at a bar that the girls are trying to get into. So during rehearsal one of the girls stand in's asks if I'm from Knoxville, because I look familiar. I explain that I'm from Nashville, but have done a few shows in Knoxville. She then says you're with Gage aren't you, so am I! So short story long, Gage people are everywhere! Also asked me about TWD, which I hadn't told anyone about, because you get sworn to secrecy. While I was at STK I got a call to come to Atlanta the next morning and Photo Double for the villain on MacGyver. That was awesome!
-Chad J.
Hey Rachele! I just realized I never said thank you for all you did with the last simplicity job. Thank you!
-Rosie M.
Hey Rachele!!! Fun and educational shoot!! Thanks a bunch!!!! Keep them coming, we appreciate you!! All the models/talent today were so nice and professional, it's always nice meeting new people!!!
-Jennifer M.
"Jaime, Thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity. I met so many wonderful people including you. You did such a wonderful job and you were extremely professional.

"HUGE Thank you to the BEST agency ever, Gage Models and Talent for making my dreams come true when signing me a year ago! And thank you Sarah Merrell for referring me! It is so super crazy that I have come so far in a year! From television shows, to commercials, print ads, and Fashion Weeks on the runway, not to mention the training! If you want the best folks, this is where you go! I can't wait for the many more years to come! I love you all! #teamgage "
-Ginger W.
"I am in love with Gage. I feel they prepared me exceptionally well to get started in this industry, and the training courses were amazing. I learned so much and my instructor was amazing. Even afterward, she still stays in contact with the models she has taught and is more than a teacher, but a friend. I sped through my training courses and signed my 3 year contract not too long after. Within 2 weeks, I was booked on a paid modeling gig. Rachele and Jaime find all kinds of opportunities for their talent, and not only support you on a professional level, but a personal one as well. Every week, we also have countless opportunities to submit ourselves for other castings on the website. I couldn't be happier with my choice to come here, and it has positively impacted my life, self-confidence, and social networking skills. Not only that, but on my very first shoot, I met my favorite photographer I have ever worked with! He was amazing. They work with the best photographers and hair and makeup artists! I highly suggest Gage!"
