Events

The first thing you must remember about an interview and audition is that this is the time for you to do what you love most…entertain! An audition is not a time to be judged but a time for us to learn about you, your personality, your expectations, and what you want to do in the modeling/acting industry.

We are here to meet you and evaluate your potential, as well as, educate you about the business. We are looking for all experience levels and backgrounds. Auditions can and should be fun!


What to expect:

Be prepared to spend approximately one hour at the Agency for your complimentary, no obligation interview/audition. We start with a group seminar to educate you on the entertainment industry. After the brief meeting, you will then meet with a Talent Director for your one on one interview. Auditions are your time to shine. It is best to relax, have fun, and show all your personality.
If the candidate is under the age of 18, a parent or legal guardian is required to attend. We encourage both parents to attend so the whole family can be educated about our Agency, as well as, the industry as a whole. Space is limited so please leave other family members (brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc.) or friends at home.

What to wear:

A Modeling/Acting interview is just like a job interview so dress in your most fashionable outfit. Please dress age appropriate and nothing revealing. No short-short skirts/shorts or low cut tops. Children under 12 years old should not wear make-up. For girls 13 and above, please wear “natural make-up”. We want to see your face. Less is best.


What to bring:

We request that you bring a recent snapshot of yourself (if you have one) that we can keep. No photos will be returned. This photo does not need to be professional, just something that we can keep on file to reference during and after the interview. Remember, if under 18, one or both parents are invited to attend. Finally, bring a good attitude, open mind, and a smile!!!

★ Shepard Smith

It was a sunny day in St. Louis. Nancy (one of the owners) arrived to pick me up for the scouting event and I wondered what the day would bring. The drive from the airport was wonderful and as we approached the office in Frontenac, I couldn't help but notice what a beautiful area it was. I knew it was going to be a great day.

We arrived to children, teens, adults & grandparents waiting to meet me!! Happy faces were coming out of the woodwork. The staff was nice, smiley and super efficent. At home, it was 6am but I felt awake and alive! They lined up...it all began...and I found an amazing list of prospects!!

Thank you St. Louis Powers/Images-no wonder you won Academy of the Year 2010 at iPOP! Las Vegas!!

Shepard Smith


★ Paul Trusik

Today was a great experience! It's always great to be exposed to new Talent outside of the LA area. I found the students eager, bright and they were extreamly interested in the entertainment industry.

Today's format allowed me to see both prepared Talent as well as other potentials.

Paul Trusik


★ Jermaine Shelton

Thank you for having me! It benefits both myself and the Talent when everything is organized and prepared like I saw here in St. Louis. It makes the experience so much more worth it.

Your students were well trained and the staff was exceptional. Coordination and teamwork are everything. Everyone was very sweet and went above and beyond to make my visit both enjoyable and productive.

I appreciate the invitation and the visit was my pleasure. I look forward to sending over my callback list! Again, thank you for having me.

Jermaine Shelton


★ Fran Tolstonog

I had a great experience at Images Agency and JRP St. Louis. The staff was very organized & professional.

The talent was enthusiastic and well prepared. As an Agent, I’m always looking for undiscovered talent. I believe that with proper training, some of the talent has the potential to compete in the LA market.

I look forward to seeing them progress in the future!

Fran Tolstonog


★ Raynard Pearson

I love the professional attitude of JRP St. Louis & Images Agency. The staff works very hard at finding new talent and coaching them the right way.

As a Talent Agent and scout for my Agency, the St. Louis staff made it easy to find good actors and actresses. JRP St. Louis and Images Agency are fantastic with the coaching and giving someone a chance of a lifetime of being a star.

Raynard Pearson


★ Nicole Connor

It was a pleasure scouting JRP/Images St. Louis!

I was very impressed with the professionalism of both the staff, and talent. I was impressed with the talents eagerness to listen & learn. The talent pool in St. Louis is definitely comprised of actors who have the potential to do well in the entertainment industry.

The auditions & workshops ran efficiently and effectively thanks to the executive staff, and I look forward to seeing a spring of new faces from St. Louis on television and film!

Nicole Connor


★ Greg Meyer

I had a great experience scouting at JRP St Louis and Images Agency.

Everyone at the St Louis location was organized and their talent was well prepared. The auditions went very well, the people did great and took direction nicely.

I look forward to coming back and seeing their progress.

Greg Meyer


★ Coby Byerly

As an agent seeking new talent, a “pet peeve” of mine is that I totally dislike the actors and models not to be prepared.

The talent that I met at Images/JRP St. Louis were ready for me!! What a pleasant experience that was!!

I, too, took classes at John Robert Powers when I was in Junior High School, so I knew that by being invited to scout at the St. Louis Academy/Agency, the talent wouldn’t let me down.

Coby Byerly


★ Glenn Hughes

My experience at JRP St. Louis/Images Agency has been extremely worthwhile and positive. I am very impressed with the caliber of kids/teens/adults that were presented to me.

Many people who are just starting out in the business think that they are simply going to make it by either their looks or without an education in the industry. This is false. I like the way the team here in St. Louis addresses the education of the industry and how they need to be prepared for agents and managers like myself.

Looking forward to developing my relationship here and getting clients from their school/agency that will be working and competing in the Los Angeles market.

★ Rob D’Avola

Met some wonderful young talent this weekend…lots of enthusiasm shown by the young actors, and hopefully we’ll be able to see some of them in LA soon. They were talented, and a treat to work with and audition. Hope to see them again soon!

★Harriet Greenspan

As a Casting Director, I travel around the country looking for new faces and fresh talent. I found the students at JRP St. Louis to be eager, well trained and prepared.

The kids in the workshop I taught were determined to learn. The staff was professional and terrific!

Harriet Greenspan


★Terrance Hines

My day at John Robert Powers showed me that their quality of training in acting, as well as, modeling, provided the men, women, and children a base to handle difficult material without objection.

The acting classes here allowed them to get into character and show their real life emotions. Casting calls look for people with this quality.

How to become an actor…has really paid off for these people involved in JRP St. Louis as well as Images Agency, their placement facility.

Auditions for actors are important, but being prepared is an important element of the process. Acting training is an ongoing and important part of a career.

Terrance Hines


★Philip Marcus

As a talent agent, part of my job is to seek out fresh and focused undiscovered new talent, which involves me traveling around the country. Due to their professionalism, dedication, and well-being towards their students, I always look forward to scouting at John Robert Powers St. Louis. The staff is top notch and their enrolled children are ready to compete at a more advanced level with LA-based talent. I most definitely am looking forward to my next trip.

★Susie Mains

What great talent you have in St. Louis! I was so impressed with the young actors that took my class. They are obviously getting excellent training and it was exciting to work with them at that higher level. Thanks for the opportunity to meet the Images clients as well. Some of the clients are definitely on my radar. I have never scouted talent in St Louis before but I absolutely will again!!!!

★Koopman Management

Images Agency is a GREAT way for local St. Louis actors to start their career. Opportunity is the key element that allows local students to get started in working in Television and Film.

We are always looking in smaller markets for new talent to bring to Los Angeles. St. Louis staff is amazing.

Koopman Management


★Rob D’Avola

I love their taste in talent...very similar to mine. There's always a lot of different types of young actors, who have been trained, that know how to audition, and that are enthusiastic....they know it takes commitment. I look forward to going back to JRP ST. Louis at least twice a year.

iPOP!

iPOP! is an incomparable opportunity for young performers who have training and want to participate in a real-life experience auditioning for their career as an actor, model, singer or dancer.

iPOP! is not a beauty contest, nor an event with competitions that are irrelevant to real-world situations. To enter the world of entertainment, performers continually face the ultimate test of being auditioned, interviewed and demonstrating their skills.

iPOP! recognizes the value of your training, and also recognizes that performers in the competitive world of entertainment continue the learning process through auditioning and performing. Our business has become increasingly competitive, and it is increasingly important that those who wish to work in fashion, film and television be given every aid to assure their success.

iPOP! is designed to give young actors, models, singers and dancers the opportunity to perform for managers and agents who are truly in a position to launch careers. Managers and agents who come to scout and discover talent and models are often names in the business that these young performers wouldn’t be seen by if it weren’t for iPOP!

iPOP! participants are ALL seen by agents, managers and casting directors at iPOP!’s networking and Open Call. Performers are scheduled and experience this entrée to how the business works with the support of their Director and the entire iPOP! team.

iPOP! provides a contemporary and positive approach to acting, modeling, singing and dancing. Every participant is respected for their courage, abilities and training. iPOP! is an event that invites the top people in the business and our goal is to produce an event we can all be proud of. We look forward to working together and a magnificent Awards Night Celebration of Success Showcase at iPOP!
