    Follow Your Dreams!

    Follow Your Dreams!!! As a 14yr old school boy I dreamed of becoming an actor. The only person that really understood and supported that dream was my mum. She totally believed I could do anything I set my mind to, no matter what. Mum died last year but she wouldn't have been surprised that our agencies now help literally hundreds of people follow their dreams every single year. If you've got a dream to be someone or even just want to have some fun email us asap and we'll try to help you achieve what you've been dreaming about. Remember; Always believe in yourself no matter what the circumstances and never give up on your dreams... Ever.

    870 Kilometres Per Hour...

    As I write this, I'm travelling 870 kilometres per hour toward Queenstown...

    I'm flying down to sit and talk with people who want to get into the fashion, film and television industry.
    And the reason I'm leaving my gorgeous wife and beautiful baby boy behind in Auckland is that I believe the people who want to talk with me may actually be right - they may have a chance of doing something amazing in this industry.
    You see, if I didn't believe that, I certainly wouldn't be spending any time away from my family talking with people from all over New Zealand.
    My Mum, who died last November, always believed in everyday people and their ability to achieve extraordinary things... She believed in me so much she thought I could do anything I set my mind to.. And, I'm slowly starting to believe the same thing - that anyone can achieve extraordinary things.
    So, as I travel throughout New Zealand, I'm looking forward to meeting someone with that same belief system.

    See you soon,

    As the Managing Director...

    15 February, 2010

    I feel it is again time to outline a few fundamental guidelines for potential and established clients.
    The Talent Scouts Team shall continue to do it's absolute best to help all our clients get placed into the best Model and Talent Agencies through-out New Zealand.
    It is extremely important that each and every person fully understands that we can not gaurentee success in any area of this industry including actually getting work, under any circumstances - and that each individual must completely understand this BEFORE they sign with us.
    All these points are clearly stated in our standard contractual agreement - that every one of our new clients sign.
    We can not ever guarentee you fame and fortune in any way and we never will.  We believe it would be morally and ethically wrong for any company to do this in our industry.
    Thanks very much to all our fantastic past and present clients who have been so great to work with over the last seven years - we love you guys, YOU are WHY we work so hard.  We will continue to place top talent into top agencies and work hard for every single person we represent - hang in there,  we will never give up on you!!!

    Happy New Year... now kick it!!!

    Making A Difference...

    03 December, 2009

    We do our absolute best to help as many people as we can become successful in this industry. It would be morally wrong for us to guarantee anyone jobs or work, so that's why we don't do it - ever!!!

    You must fully understand there are no guarantees in this business before you get into it, and if someone does give you guarantees, run a mile in the opposite direction.
    There is an ethical and moral responsiblity for every agency to honestly inform new people of the way they work and how they operate.

    And, it's incredibly important you sign up with the right agency, because if you don't, you will limit yourself immensely.

    The team at Talent Scouts helps everyday kiwis find the best opportunities they can, we don't guarantee success, but we do our absolute best to get things moving for you!!!

    Always Treasure Your Mum

    27th November, 2009

    My mum inspired me to try things in life that I thought were completely impossible. She believed in me so much that she thought I could do anything I put my mind to, even when everyone else told me I couldn't.

    As a dyslexic kid, I never scored highly on tests at school but she was the one who could see so much more in me.  And now, I'm absolutely certain, If we all believed in ourselves as much as our Mums do - we would achieve incredible things.

    My mum, Yvonne Brookes, passed away last night.  I held her hand and for the last time, I thanked her for believing in me so much.
