Hello. I was modeling, doing some little jobs here and there, and also was signed with a talent agency before I met Wilhelmina. Wilhelmina found me, contacted me, and asked if i wanted to be apart of their agency. I, of coarse, said yes. I knew how huge and high ranking Wilhelmina is, and it is an honor to be able to say i am a Wilhelmina model. I am a fashion/development model. Ever since I started, the bookers and the team were so true to making sure all the models, actors, etc. received the most experience they could receive. They are very welcoming and want everyone to succeed. The runway class/training is very helpful to all models because it gives them time to interact with other models, and make friends. Also, the runway trainer helps you improve on your walk, so when the model is ready to go out for a job, they will have a great and confident walk.I was so excited to start modeling with this company. I live in Southern Maryland, and make all the effort to travel to any job that comes my way. I love modeling, and it has always been in my vision for quite some time. I would love for my modeling career to keep progressing into bigger things and opportunities. I have received many jobs throughout the time I have been apart of Wilhelmina. I have been apart of trade shoots, commercials, online websites, books, castings, clothing catalogs, etc. Being apart of this team is an amazing journey.I cant wait to see what else the future hold with Wilhelmina, and I will stay with them for as long as I can.:)

My twins are signed with Wilhelmina Philadelphia. My son signed first and after taking the actors workshops with Aaron Marcus, we decided to sign my daughter as well. Neither had any modeling or acting experience. It has been about a year now, and we have learned so much about the industry and how much work and effort is put in by Wilhelmina and how much is necessary from the talent. We recently went on the GSN cruise, and were blown away by the entire experience. The workshops you attend prior for runway & acting helped my children improve tremendously. Charles and Dave were amazing and went above and beyond to give everyone the help & training they needed. The actual competition was a great experience as well for my children. The managers, casting directors, and agents judging are all well established and respected professionals in the industry. My children were given the incredible opportunity to meet with with managers/directors/agents from all over the country through callbacks. I can not rave enough about the staff at Willy Philly and thank them for a solid introduction to the business and for giving us a tremendous networking base! L. Winiarski

I have been signed with Wilhelmina Philadelphia for just about a year now. I had no previous modeling or acting experience and Wilhelmina has opened my eyes to show my potential. Like many people I was skeptical when joining however as I am learning, it takes a lot of work to break into the industry. Wilhelmina Philadelphia is one of the few agencies that helps develop their talent and like anything; you can’t expect anyone to invest in you if you don’t invest in yourself. There are thousands of actors and models hoping and praying for their big break but it will never come if you don’t work hard for it. I also attended the GSN Cruise this past season and I can honestly say it’s been one of the best experiences I’ve had. The staff is wonderful to work with and I’ve improved so much with the training provided by Charles and Dave. Not to mention made friends and contacts that I never would have met without Willy Philly. I am happy to answer any questions anyone may have and am glad to have joined Wilhelmina Philadelphia.

I’ve been signed to Wilhelmina Philadelphia since 2014 with no prior modeling and acting experience. I attended the commercial acting classes with Aaron Marcus as the instructor and learned an enormous amount of information, not only about the techniques of acting, but also about the business. Soon afterwards, I was selected to participate in the Global Stars Network Convention where the agency provided classes to prepare contestants for the event. Thanks to the runway and acting classes, taught by Charles Hardy and David Polgar, there was a huge improvement from when we started to when we performed at GSN. Also, the level of support from the Wilhelmina staff and the patience they have answering the never-ending questions about any and everything shows their willingness to help you become successful. Thanks to them and the exposure at GSN I now have opportunities to work with other agencies and casting directors I wouldn’t have had otherwise. Thank you Willy Philly!

During my time with Wilhelmina I have learned a lot about what it takes to succeed in both the modeling and acting industry. As a singer, I had no clue what to expect about modeling and acting. With the help from the staff here, and always answering my 20 thousand questions I may have, I could not ask for anything better. I recently tried out for this thing called GSN where you get the opportunity to meet with many different casting directors from all over the entertainment industry to help expand your network, and get an opportunity to get more exposure for my career. I know if I did not have the training provided from Aaron Marcus, and Wilhelmina own acting coach Dave Polgar, I know I would have not been prepared for this journey. If you are looking for a reliable agency with good quality people Wilhelmina is where you should make your final stop.

I am an actor/ commercial model at Wilhelmina Philadelphia and I singed with them in October of 2012. I was very new to this world, but I wanted to be apart of it badly. I had no idea where to begin but I knew I had to start somewhere. I attended one of their open calls, I was super nervous, but once I took the stage, I realized that they were my biggest fans. I was very green to the world of acting and modeling but I was willing to work hard and learn. The team at Wilhelmina is amazing, they are always one phone call away and I have learned so much. I would also like to say how pleased I am to work with such amazing bookers, Will Ball and Kellie Taylor. I would also like to say how helpful the billing department is... Charles!! With out this amazing team behind me, I would not be where I am today.

I absolutely loved working with Wilhelmina Philadelphia! They are such a pleasure! My experience with them was nothing less then extraordinary. We wouldnt have had a Senior Show with out them! I worked with Kel when I was put in charge of booking Models for the Moore College of Art Fashion Show and they were AMAZING!!! They were so accommodating and always got back to me right away. They models were so professional and respectful. They all came fully prepared to the audition, fittings and the show! We worked with 4 agencies and Wilhelmina was HANDS DOWN THE BEST!!! I will definitely recommend this agency to the girl that has my job next! As well as the models we used, for direct bookings! Thanks WillyPhilly you guys rock!

I signed Wilhelmina about 10 months ago. The staff and talent have all been incredible to work with. I have received exceptional runway and acting training that has opened the doors to booking runway and catalog work in both Philadelphia and New York. The agency has provided the opportunity for me to network and meet with a number of larger agencies in NY, LA and the international market. The staff at Wilhelmina is so kind and caring, they truly want to help you to succeed in this industry. I have made many friends through the agency and we have become like a supportive family to one another. I would recommend Wilhelmina to anyone looking for a good place to start and develop their career.

Wilhelmina Philadelphia is a wonderful agency that has given me many opportunities in the modeling and fashion industry.I was signed with Wilhelmina Philadelphia for two years and received a lot of work. I booked photo shoots three or four times a week and shot two national add campaigns.My booker negotiated such great rates of pay I was able to peruse modeling full time! After that I was then granted an opportunity to meet with Wilhelmina agents from the New York, LA and Miami offices.This agency is great for developing individuals who are beginners and is extremely helpful to building strong portfolios, resumes , head shots and other materials I needed to become a strong successful model.

I came to Wilhelmina Philadelphia hoping to build my entertainment career in the Philadelphia area (TV commercials, hosting, voiceovers). I have been with them for nearly three years now and can say I am so happy with the work I have booked. The agency has helped me build my personal brand and there was even a stint where I went on four auditions in a row and landed all four jobs. I have worked with other agencies in the past and can say I am by far the happiest with Willy Philly.The bookers know my career goals and work hard to get me work that matches them. Great team with lots of expertise and great camaraderie with other talent, truly a family-like atmosphere.

I have been signed for over 5 years now and did not have any modeling experience prior to signing. They give you all the tools you need to be successful in the industry (photo moment classes, different levels for runway classes, and explain how the industry works and how you should present yourself to each go see). They agents are very nice and are willing to get to know you and what you want out of signing. A big shout out to Kellie Taylor who is the senior booker! She answers any question you may have before a ho see or job and keeps you mind at ease!

I signed with Wilhelmina PA in February of 2013. The initial investment was a lot, but having been scammed by other endeavors in the past I was able to see the legitimacy of these fees and did not think twice about making the investment & boy am I glad I did!!! They work hard so that I can work hard, and I cannot thank them enough for that. While I am 100% aware that it is MY job to book the job, they do everything humanly possible to help me be prepared and give me the chance to go out and audition. Thank you so much Willy Philly!!

Over the past six months Whilhelmina has been very supportive, provided both education and the opportunity to grow. Recently I was given the opportunity to participate at the GSN convention. In the months prior to the convention, the staff, Kelli, Lauren, Dave and Charles did a wonderful job preparing me and my fellow contestants for what was to come. At the convention and the weeks after they have been a tremendous help with following up on callbacks, providing us with the best opportunities possible.

I have been signed with Wilhelmina since June of 2015 and can honestly say it was the best decision I have made so far! All of the staff here are very helpful when it comes to photo training and booking jobs with clients. I had no prior experience with modeling before I signed with Wilhelmina. But since I signed I have got the opportunity to do multiple print shoots and walk in a runway show during New York Fashion week! I would totally recommend this agency to anyone who is serious about modeling.

My daughter has been with Wilhemina for 2 years and has received several calls for auditions. She has actually booked work with them as well. The staff is very friendly and seem to have a vested interest in the success of my daughter. She recently went through a vigorous summer of training provided by Wilehlmina to prepare for a competition, she loved every second of it. I have seen a positive change in her over the year. I hope to continue to work with this agency in the future.

I have received so much from Wilhelmina over the four years that I have been a member of their agency. They have provided a firm basis for achieving success in the modeling industry. I feel that they truly care about their models and actors because they only want to see them succeed. The runway classes they offer are extremely helpful and the bookers are very kind and efficient always willing to answer any and all questions regarding go-sees and jobs.

Our 9-year-old son has been with Wilhelmina Philadelphia for about 2.5 years. He has really enjoyed his time with the agency and has received steady work. He recently attended the Industry Network Convention in LA which enabled him to meet several New York and LA managers and agents. With Kelli’s guidance, he is preparing to sign with agents in both markets. It’s been a fun experience and we’re happy we originally signed with Wilhelmina.
