Gage Models & Talent Agency Reviews

This is a great place to start a modeling and acting hobby or career and wonderful group of people there to expand an already established model or actor.

Best Model and Talent Agency in Knoxville Tennessee . Acting and Modeling Classes.

I honestly can t say enough good things about Gage Talent and how mug they ve done for me. I ve been with Gage for around 3 years now and I have always been extremely pleased with how they ve represented me. Any time I ve ever wanted to broaden my skills, they ve been able to offer classes and feedback. Most important is that they have consistently been able to book me on some amazon jobs. Such as hosting an online show, getting me VIP access to bonoroo for a miller lite commercial as well as countless auditions/castings for various tv shows. While I don t necessarily consider myself a model, I have had multiple opportunities and bookings for modeling. I even got to walk in the prestigious Knoxville Fashion Week. The employees for Gage will work for you and help you hone your skills as a model and/or actor. Take the time to see what they re about. You won t regret it.

First-class organization! They provide amazing opportunities for a lot of people. They are also the reason Knoxville Fashion Week exists, and is as awesome as it is.

First of all the only reason i am leaving a 1 star review is because that is the lowest rating it will let me leave. I would like to start by saying that this agency is a HUGE waste of time and money. The staff at this agency are rude and unprofessional. Their only concern is money. My daughter paid $2000.00 for modeling classes and basically all she got was a hateful, rude instructor who acted like she hated her job and had a severe dislike for people. She was extremely rude, she had a major lack of compassion and respect for her students and their families. Sge had no tact or respect when "teaching" and xorrecting her students. After completing her classes my daughter met with another agency. After the decision was made to sign witj the other agency, my daughter's instructor from Gage contacted her by private message via Facebook and attacked her decision as well as trying to discredit and disgrace the other agency. I would like to point out that my daughter is only 16 years old. Therefore, due to her age, cannot make legal decisions such as these solely on her own. As her mother, the final decision was made by me. If there was a problem with the decision or any other situation that may have arose while she was at Gage, and someone felt the need to voice their opinions ir concerns about her decision or behavior, those issues should have been brought to me to be addressed, NOT a 16 year old. I am outraged that a GROWN WOMAN who claims to be a professional business woman would choose to verbally attack a 16 year old on social media. This is by far the most disgraceful, unprofessional and rudest conduct from a business I have ever witnessed. This agency's lack of customer relations skills, along with their rude, disrespectful, unprofessional conduct has completely outraged and dissatisfied me. I would NEVER recommend this agency to anyone. If you are considering this agency RUN. RUN FAR AWAY. I am so disgusted that we spent so much time and money at this place, but I will take it as a lesson learned.

Gage is a fantastic place for people to learn more and get involved in the industry. The owners are first class and truly care about their talent. They are placing a ton of people in cool jobs. You should check out their success stories on their website. Very exciting!

I would like to say that I enjoyed meeting everyone there. They are all very friendly. Although the money situation was a little high for us. I really wanted my 16 teen year old Michael Robinson to go but we couldn t afford it. I am a single mom of 3 so thanks for the offer

This agency made an offer to represent me but it was a red flag when I saw their high 'yearly website fee'. So I did some research and I found a ton of complaints that this is a scam agency. Be warned!

THANK YOU, GAGE MODEL AND TALENT AGENCY and STAFF for the dedication to our communities. Being involved in sponsoring events and talent shows that benefit the charity programs throughout the Knoxville area is admirable. Your dedication to the talent and venue program, shows in the performances of the many trained talented young people involved.

I love Gage Talent!!! Being from Knoxville Tennessee and living and working in Hollywood, Gage Talent provides people the opportunity to be seen in larger markets as well as booking their talent across the country and locally. Jaime and her staff are my favs! They are the best for anyone looking to work or get into the entertainment industry.

I highly recommend Gage Talent to anyone looking to further their acting and modeling career. The staff is always polite, professional, and work hard to see their talent is working. They provide continued education and training opportunities and really want their talent to be the best we can be. They are a real agency, not a scam, and strive to keep their presence in the worldwide marketplace. They have given me some wonderful opportunities I would have never gotten with other agencies.

This is such a wholesome business. The owners are wonderful people who strongly believe in instilling confidence in both young women and young men. They inspire the models who come to them and take their own goals into account. Cannot reccomend enough!!!

I absolutely love this place. Everyone is so nice and welcoming and they work hard for there talent. Couldn't be happier.

We have been working with Gage and their models for almost 7 years now. Always professional and we love working with them.

I have been a very happy client of Gage Model and Talent Agency for two years now. Jenna and Jaime are absolutely amazing at what they do. Through the years I have worked with other talent agencies that never went to bat for me once. Understand I am a 39 year old actor and nowhere close to a model...that did not stop Gage, they didn't shut the door in my face and laugh. Infact they dug in and saw where my talent lay and have continually has found me work since. If you believe in yourself and have talent in any way, shape or form, do yourself a favor and contact Gage Model and Talent Agency. Trust me, your time will not have been ill spent.

Great website with lots of resources. Castings, talent available, success stories and development opportunities to name a few things that is readily available to anyone interested in the entertainment business. I've been hired as a murderess on "Snapped" and a distraught mother on "Murder Comes to Town". I had such fun and got paid for wiping an item off my bucket list.

Love the staff and team atmosphere! It's nice working with everyone and getting quick responses to all questions. As a local agency they also assist in placement and national bookings so we aren't just limited to Knoxville. It's great to see new castings on the Gage website every day and opportunities for both modeling and acting.

Great opportunities abound! If you want to be an actor or a model, you should surround yourself with industry pros.

It is always a pleasure to work with professionals. This is my preferred agency in Knoxville. The crew are very helpful and respond quickly. Since I have been signed with them, I have modeled a new fishing line for Columbia Sportwear, filmed Story of God with Morgan Freeman, shot a digital for Clayton Homes, etc.

Gage Talent Agency is an amazing agency with professionals who care about and work very hard for their talent. My daughter has been with them for a couple of years now and she loves everything she has done with them. They have been in business for over 18 years, and that speaks for itself. Great legitimate agency, wouldn t consider signing with anyone else.

Kick people out hurts their feelings my freind is ruined cuase her career is over.

Always a great experience when dealing with the folks over at Gage Talent !!!

First class. Young people gain experience and confidence with Gage Talent

I see you all are in Atlanta but is there a physical location?

We volunteer and produce Chattanooga Fashion Week made possible by Gage models on our runways and we truly appreciate all of the Gage models who participate in our events!

My sons dreams were shattered. Took my money and after the photo shoot proved disastrous the didnt care at all. They seem to be herding children through thier system like cattle to market. Dont wast your time or money. Google it for yourself and you will struggle to find a good review. I only wish I had investigated them closer before throwing my money away.

When you walk in everyone is so nice and wanting to help you. I can tell this is the right place for my family. :)

Gage is definitely a professional Agency that cares about their talents progression. They work hard to submit talent for roles that they fit versus just submitting talent for everything that comes across their desk.

It is a great place to train to become a model or actor

It is very fun in acting and a lot of creatively and funny lol and this is my emoji of it

Gage Models and Talent has changed my life and my daughter s life. They are truly a blessing! My favorite part of the year is Knoxville Fashion Week. My daughter takes classes and it s her absolute favorite thing in the world. Adam is brilliant with kids!

EDIT: The owner/manager put a completely false response below based on the lie his employee told him!

I went to this establishment to inquire about their services. It was a day when their management was not in the office, only the receptionist.

The receptionist was extremely rude and condescending. I hope they have cameras with audio recording so management can hear the conversation.

It started with her oddly accusing me of being someone else. "You called in before and I already told you..." she said in her answer to my first question.

I calmly told her that I had never called, entered, or communicated with Gage modeling in any way a single time in my life. She said I was lying.

She then began to berate me telling me that they only work with legitimate companies unlike mine. How insulting. Little did she know my companies are larger than this agency, yet she talked to me like I was a peon.

Regardless, I teach my employees to ALWAYS treat customers with respect, large or small. Even if they aren't legitimate, it is just the human thing to do.

She lied to her boss and said that I was upset because there was no one to talk to me at that moment. And/or that I was upset because of their online application process. I was never bothered by this at all.

I was simply ignorant to their process and was asking questions. All she had to do was NICELY say this, and I was totally OK with it.

My only guess for her deranged behavior was that she was upset with this OTHER person that she kept claiming was me. Thankfully, I was able to hire models elsewhere from a company with better customer service.

This place is hit and miss they want money as I was told by a celebrity friend you don t pay them they pay you so not sure if they missed that memo

Gage has taught me so much already and I m still in classes, everyone on the staff is very personable and love to see their models succeed! I will always recommend Gage!

Everyone at Gage are friendly professional. If you're looking for a start in the business or wanting to level up your career, Gage is the agency you're looking for.

I randomly walked into Gage Talent 4 years ago looking to become a model and was signed immediately. I told the agency director, Rachele Bailey, what my dreams were and that I wanted to do this as a career and she gave me a shot! 4 years later I ve booked numerous gigs such as: Catalog shoots, bridal shows, fashion shows, commercials, national television shows, print work, short films, advertisements, online promotions, music videos, stand in work, and even a little stunt work. I ve enjoyed every minute of it! I get to travel, always have fun on set, and get to meet new people in the process. Another flip side to doing this is that I don t have to see the same co-workers everyday lol. The owners Brent and Jaime Hemsley are always personable whether it s at the office or during fashion week. All in all, I have no complaints with Gage. I m very thankful for the opportunities they ve given me.

My daughter goes to gage she is going for a model, the place is nice and Trish is a really nice lady I love talking to her.

Love this agency and the supportive group of agents, managers and all the talent. It's so fun booking projects, meeting new people, doing shoots and seeing myself on TV. I was sooo shy when I started and now I feel I can truly achieve what I put my mind to. Go #teamgage
