The Great American Model and Talent Search is a scouting service that brings together top-notch agents, model scouts, casting directors, film producers, fashion photographers, and other industry professionals with new talent of all ages - infants through adults via open casting calls.

This concept has provided many aspiring individuals the opportunity to succeed in the industry. Our office in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is the hub of operations for the Great American Model and Talent Search. However, open casting calls are held throughout the United States each year. (Click here for more information on our open casting calls.)

Founded in 1969, the Great American Model and Talent Search has functioned in the entertainment, commercial talent, and modeling industry for 36 years (we are not an agency). Initially, we established ourselves in the entertainment field working with major recording artists including Earth Wind and Fire, George Benson, Ricky Nelson, the Marvelettes, Billy Idol, Duran Duran, the Beach Boys, and Frank Sinatra, Jr. and many additional artists spanning the periods of the 60's, 70's, and 80's.

Since then, we've expanded significantly into the modeling and film industries. Our services are respected by many industry professionals. As a result, many babies, children, teens, and adults who've worked with us have gone on to appear in major movies, commercials, print advertisements, television shows, and music videos.

We pride ourselves on taking scouting services to a much more personal level. A courteous staff is always available during regular business hours to answer your questions or to provide you with more information on our services. We believe our customers should always have the ability to speak to an actual person when they call, not an automated voice.

With the Great American Model and Talent Search, you can be certain of receiving reputable scouting services from a trusted company.
