“My daughter (who is twelve) and I attended your workshop in Tallahassee this weekend. I just want to take the time to let you know that your information was informative, interesting, and it was entertaining. I appreciated the relaxing format and the way you allowed the audience to interact with such ease. I would especially like to thank you for your closing comments and advice. I think too often we the parents as well as the kids aspiring to be models, actors or actresses can get carried away with it all. Our kids may put too much pressure on themselves as do some of the parents. Thanks for reminding us all to enjoy the experiences and letting it be okay to pursue other interests if our children find this industry is not in their best interests. It is so important that we all stay grounded. So thank you again for your perfect words of wisdom and I look forward to reading the information in your book and newsletters.”

If you buy this book, you are laying the groundwork for a successful career. I recommend skimming over it once, then going through it with a highlighter and pen to put in notes and highlight terms and things you want to remember. It is an invaluable resource for those of us in the commercial modeling field.”

“You Must Have This Book!"
Aaron Marcus is a genius! I wish we would have found this book five months ago, when we first decided to go into modeling. I am so glad we got the book before my son’s next photo shoot. It told us what to bring (we thought they would supply everything) to the shoot. This book also tells you how to get an agent, what to do at go-sees, and what not to do. IT IS GREAT!!! Aaron Marcus gets down to every detail, I am so glad we found this book, because it has really helped my son in is new found career and will continue to help us as he goes further. Thanks so much for writing it!”

“This book is a great resource for aspiring commercial models. It is laid out in simple terms with detailed step by step instructions to get you through the processes of putting together a composite sheet, finding an agent and photographers, and even finding work on your own. If you believe (like most people do) that you have to be 5'11" tall and a size 2 to work in the modeling field, you will soon see you are wrong. Most of the modeling going on in the advertising world today is done by commercial models, like Aaron Marcus. Here is a unique opportunity to take advice from someone who has worked in the industry and can point you in the direction of real success.
“Thank you so much for your wonderful workshop. I really feel like I got real life, down to earth information. I have read many books, but they don’t always give that personal information that is so valuable. I really admire you for caring about me, the beginner. It is so important that I do things correctly. I didn’t even know what a “go-see” meant. I am so grateful for your help. Your seminar was wonderful. I will definitely recommend it to others.

"I am an aspiring commercial model/actress who had a lot of questions. Thankfully, all my questions were answered by simply reading Aaron's book. He discusses every thing from taking a great head shot to finding a legitimate agent. Luckily, Aaron has decided to share his experience and knowledge with us in the pages of his book. Honestly, I feel that I am one step closer to making my dream a reality. Aaron's book is the TOOL that should always be used to getting started in this business. "

“I just wanted to tell you how helpful your book has been. NOTHING prepared me for my auditions like your book! It was an INVALUABLE resource to me. There is no fluff in your book. Only what you absolutely NEED to give your audition your BEST SHOT. I walked into my first audition feeling like it was my 20th. Thank you for providing a real and practical resource to aspiring actors and actresses! By the way, I just booked my first print job in Atlanta” Ken Hartley • TN “Your book helped me prepare for my latest go-see, and the hints that you outlined were extremely helpful. And the best part is I booked the job and will be seen in an ad for the American Cancer Society. Being informed definitely gave me an advantage.”

“I had no idea how to go about getting into the modeling business, so I purchased How to Become a Successful Commercial Model, and read it cover to cover the first day. It covered every question I could think of and then some. It definitely paid for itself! I have since signed with a modeling agency and booked a few jobs on my own. I even learned how to create my portfolio with quality photos without paying a dime.”

“After using the information from your book I got cast in two print jobs. One for the U.S. Army, and one for Target Department Stores. Thanks so much for writing this great book.”
