News from IMTA in Los Angeles
January 7, 2009
It's winter in Los Angeles, which means today is sunny and 67. While I write this I understand it's snowing back home in Toledo. I'm sure it's pretty, but I must admit I'm enjoying the sun!
I'm in Los Angeles with twelve talented Starbound students to attend IMTA's January event. IMTA (International Modeling and Talent Association) provides opportunities in Los Angeles and New York each year to meet literally hundreds of agents and managers. And I'm so proud of my students! Out of a couple thousand attendees, only 15 are selected to the "Show Case." The Show Case features the finalists in the singing and dancing competition. Out of these 15 finalists from all over the world, three are from Starbound NYC!
Jay has made it to the finals for signing, while Brittney and Morgan are dancing finalists. It's an impressive showing, if I do say so myself and created a bit of a buzz at IMTA.
Also, I can't forget to mention that Starbound NYC alumnus Alyson Stoner was the featured speaker opening night and received special recognition as a former attendee of IMTA, the place where she launched her career. As always she was fantastic and spent a lot of time with her fans.
I'll be reporting back next week to share more of the results. See you soon in snowy Toledo.
