DZMS Casting Agency: October 2009

About Us

DZMS Commercial Model & Talent Agency is a company that represents commercial models & talents, to work for the industry. We earn our income via commission, usually from the deal we have made with the model or talent.

We work with big-budget advertising agencies, fashion designers and corporate clients. We could invest money into developing our models & talents so they can increase their status within the industry. We also will help train them, get exposures, layout portfolios, and put together comp cards (composition photo cards) and other printed materials models or talents need.

We find work by presenting models & talents to designers, photographers, production houses, corporate clients and ad agencies, booking the jobs, billing for the jobs, and eventually paying the models & talents for their time. By handling the details, we allow a model or talent to focus on work and not on the business end.

Because modeling & talent is a very competitive, fast moving business that extends beyond the traditional 9 to 5, we generally conducts business 'round the clock' to handle emergencies, such as cancellations or rush jobs. We have a service to direct emergency contact after hours.

Booking Agents

We use booking agents to keep track of who uses models. We have a phone that is manned and an office that a client can visit. We also send out reminders for fresh models & talents. We advertise, do lunches, do cold calls and find available gigs.

To Book Our Talents, kindly email your enquiry to dzmsonline@gmail.com

FAQ

We look forward to receiving your registration and photos!

Is There A Processing Fee For Successful Candidate?

Yes. The fee is RM35.00. Processing fees are non-refundable.

Why Is There A Fee To Submit My Photos?

The RM35.00 fee helps to cover the costs of operating our website such as web designers, hosting, advertising, office staff, photographer etc. This fee is much less than you would pay for making copies of all your photos and mailing them to all of the agencies and is much less than many online scouting services who charge between RM100 – RM250 per year simply to post your photos on their websites. We are the most efficient and cost-effective way to promote yourself to legitimate modeling agencies.

What Other Expenses Will I Have?

There are no other costs involved when submitting your photos to us. There are no monthly or annual fees, only the one time processing fee of RM35.00. If you are signed to a casting agency, whether it is through us or through another source, you may be expected to cover your basic costs for the tools you need to be a professional model such as, composite cards, test shoots, couriers, postage, etc. Some larger agencies may be willing to cover these initial expenses and then deduct them from your work; however, smaller agencies may not be able to cover these expenses for you. Every agency in every market is different, so please expect to cover your own initial expenses if you are signed / registering to a casting agency.
