  Meredith Washington 11:06?AM (20 minutes ago) to me You have been amazing! I will leave you a review now! Boysen just sent me a dozen things to do today to get everything finalized and TL responded with a very nice message so thank you for your help there as well! Do you know of any local acting classes that could help boost confidence even more? I can’t find any for her age. Boysen recommended looking since some commercials require small talking bits. Meredith Washington (gmail.com) ????? So, if you can't find an acting class for her, you need to go to the next best thing: YouTube! Just search how to do Audition Videos, Slating Videos & Self Tapes. This will get her familiar with being in front of a camera. I would schedule time to practice; you can use your cell to take the videos. This will give her confidence, and she will know how to perform for the camera. Thanks for your review; really appreciate it!

  Meredith Washington Jul 9, 2026, 4:06?PM (17 hours ago) to me I don’t mind going with Boysen if you think that’s the best fit. We have applied for 4 jobs with TL and haven’t gotten one. My concern is what does that mean for the TL contract we have already signed? Hi Meredith, Thank you for your email. If you feel that Boysen would be a better fit for Kai, then I would move forward with signing with them. Ultimately, the decision is yours, but based on everything we've discussed, I do think Boysen is an excellent opportunity. They have a strong reputation, and receiving an offer from them is a significant accomplishment. Also, applying for four castings without receiving a booking isn't unusual. Modeling is a very competitive industry, and it's common to submit for many opportunities before landing your first job. I wouldn't use that alone as a measure of an agency's effectiveness. If you decide that you'd like to move forward with Boysen and cancel your agreement with TL, let me know. I'd be happy to help you put together a professional email to send to TL. Whatever you decide, I wish Kai the very best. This is an exciting opportunity, and I hope everything works out for her. Good luck!

  Meredith Washington 3:43?PM (13 minutes ago) to me Her reply: Hi Meredith, We are exclusive to Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma for Commercial and Commercial Print, TV/Film. For TV/Film, we are exclusive to Texas, Oklahoma and the Southeast Part of the US. Most Texas agencies will be exclusive at least to Texas. Most agencies across the US are exclusive to their area. There are not many that will allow you to have another agent inside of their demographic. It would cause confusion. Unfortunately, we can not change the contract to being Non-Exclusive. I understand if you would rather go in a different direction. Best Wishes, But because TL don’t do this I already know this isn’t true LOL. How do you recommend I reply? Meredith Washington (gmail.com) ?Hi Meredith, Thank you for sending over Boysen's response. This is actually a fairly common position for agencies. While they aren't willing to make the agreement non-exclusive, they did clarify that their exclusivity is territory-specific, not nationwide. In other words, they are asking to exclusively represent Kai within the markets they cover. That said, I don't completely agree with the statement that most agencies operate this way. There are many agencies, including TL, that do allow talent to have representation with multiple agencies, provided there isn't a conflict within the same market. Every agency has its own business model and policies. At this point, the decision comes down to what is best for Kai. Boysen is a strong agency with a great reputation, so if you're comfortable with the territories they are requesting exclusivity in, signing with them could be a very positive step. If maintaining maximum flexibility is more important right now, then it may be worth continuing to pursue agencies that offer non-exclusive representation. Either way, this is a great opportunity, and I think it's worth giving careful consideration. Let me know what you're thinking, and I'd be happy to discuss the pros and cons with you before you make a final decision. If you decide to go with Boysen, here is an email you can use: Subject: Re: Representation Agreement Hi, Thank you for your quick response and for taking the time to clarify Boysen's representation policy. I completely understand and appreciate the explanation regarding your territorial exclusivity. Thank you for being transparent about your agency's policy. After giving it some thought, I would like to move forward with the agreement. I believe Boysen would be a great fit for Kai, and we are excited about the opportunity to work with your team. Please let me know the next steps to finalize the agreement. Thank you again, and we look forward to working with you. Best regards, Meredith (on behalf of Kai) Kind Regards, Irving Customer Service Creative Team Studio 1 | Miami - Dallas - Houston - Nashville 954-369-2072 | 469-902-5890 | 615-380-6990 inquiries@studio-1.us Website: http://www.studio-1.us Keep in mind our Administrative Offices are open Monday- Friday. 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM EST. 07/10/2026 09:18 - [Jul 10, 2026, 9:18 AM] Natalie: Customer asked about Kai W; we removed them from AI without providing a reason. 07/10/2026 09:18 - [Jul 10, 2026, 9:18 AM] Natalie: Customer inquired about exclusivity areas; we removed them from AI without explanation. 07/10/2026 09:19 - [Jul 10, 2026, 9:19 AM] Natalie: Customer inquired about TL contract status after applying for jobs; action taken was removal from AI.

  Irving - Regarding Kai W IRVING Meredith Schleicher Attachments Jul 8, 2026, 6:22?PM (16 hours ago) to me Hey! Boysen offered to sign Kai today! Can you take a look at the contract? It looks like they want to sign her exclusively? Sent from my iPhone 10 Attachments • Scanned by Gmail Meredith Schleicher (gmail.com) Hi Meredith, First, congratulations! Boysen is a highly respected agency, and receiving an offer for an exclusive contract is a great accomplishment for Kai. This opportunity speaks positively about her potential and the impression she made during the process. Based on the screenshot you provided, the agreement appears to be a standard exclusive agency agreement. The section titled “Exclusivity and Authority” indicates that Kai would be appointing The Boysen Agency as her exclusive representative for modeling and talent-related opportunities. From what I can see, this means: Kai would be expected to direct modeling and talent opportunities through the agency. The agency would have the exclusive authority to represent her and negotiate work on her behalf. She may not be able to independently accept or negotiate modeling jobs or work with another agency during the contract term. The agreement also outlines standard industry terms regarding commissions and the length of representation. Since Kai is currently signed with TL, I would recommend reaching out to Boysen to see if they would consider making the agreement non-exclusive. This would allow her to continue exploring opportunities while still being represented by Boysen. Here is an email you could send: Subject: Question Regarding Representation Agreement Dear Boysen Agency, I hope you are doing well. Thank you so much for offering me the opportunity to join The Boysen Agency. I truly appreciate your time, consideration, and confidence in Kai, and we are excited about the possibility of working with your team. After reviewing the representation agreement, I noticed that it is structured as an exclusive contract. Before moving forward, I wanted to ask whether there may be an option to discuss a non-exclusive representation agreement. At this stage of Kai’s modeling career, we would like her to maintain some flexibility as she continues building her experience, portfolio, and industry relationships. We believe a non-exclusive arrangement would allow her to pursue opportunities while still being represented by Boysen and committed to working professionally with your agency. We completely understand if exclusivity is a standard requirement for your agency, but we wanted to ask if there is any flexibility regarding this. Thank you again for this opportunity. We look forward to hearing your thoughts. Kind regards, [Your Name] Since this is a standard one-year exclusive contract with the typical commission structure (10% for union work and 20% for non-union work), my recommendation would be to send the email above and see how Boysen responds. Once you have their answer, we can review the options and determine the best next step for Kai. How exciting for Kai — congratulations again! Kind regards, Irving

  Meredith Washington Jun 26, 2026, 5:39?PM (3 days ago) to me Thank you so much!!!! Kai has applied for three jobs now and we haven’t heard anything. Is this normal? I guess I just thought she’d book quickly. Meredith Washington (gmail.com) Hi Meredith, Thank you for your email! Yes, this is completely normal. After submitting applications, it's up to each client or casting director to determine whether Kai is the right fit for a particular project. While it's exciting to get started, booking opportunities often take?s time, and the summer months can be a bit slower in the industry. The important thing is that Kai is actively applying, so she's on the right track. I encourage her to continue submitting to new opportunities consistently. She should also stay in touch with her agency, as they're there to provide guidance, answer questions, and notify her of any opportunities they may have available. Keep up the great work, and please don't get discouraged. Persistence and consistency are key in the modeling industry.

Your invitation to join is valid through Friday, June 12th. If you’d like to move forward, please review the information below and request your registration link before Friday. If you’re not ready to join by this deadline, you’re welcome to re-apply in September, when we begin our next talent search. ABOUT JOINING TL MODELING AGENCY With over 15 years in the industry, we’ve evolved to a fully online agency, allowing us to review and represent talent based on submitted photos rather than in-person meetings. Because we do not assess confidence face-to-face, we ask that only applicants who feel comfortable auditioning for casting directors on camera, via Zoom, or through video submission continue with the process. ? No experience is required — confidence, professionalism, and readiness to audition are what matter most. WHAT’S REQUIRED TO JOIN ? 1. We are a professional talent agency — not a modeling school We represent models and actors for paid work throughout Texas and neighboring states. ? 2. Website profile fee – $159 per year This fee covers the professional creation and ongoing maintenance of your personal profile on our agency website, which casting directors use to review and select talent. $159 annually (approximately $13.25 per month) Paid as a one-time yearly fee Afterpay/Paylater is available This is the only required fee to join Why $13/month is worth it When broken down monthly, your investment covers far more than just a webpage: Continuous visibility to casting directors who actively search agency sites A professionally formatted profile that meets industry standards Ongoing uploads of photos, videos, and updates at no additional cost Direct agency submission for paid castings Representation by an established agency with 15+ years of experience For less than the cost of a streaming subscription, your profile works for you year-round. ? 3. Accepted ages: 4–75 years old ? 4. No experience required Most auditions are conducted via Zoom, Skype, or video submission; very few are in person. ? 5. Professional photos required within 60 days You will need 10 professional fashion images across 3 outfits, including: Headshots ¾-length shots Full-body shots Photos may be taken with your own photographer (pending approval) or with our preferred photographer. ? 6.

If you choose not to proceed, a full refund is available within that period. ???? Please request your link before Friday so you have ample time to review everything comfortably. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Why is there a website design fee? Your webpage is professionally created and maintained by a third-party team. We upload photos, videos, and updates at no additional cost, and casting directors can contact us directly through your page. The annual fee is $159, and Afterpay/Paylater is available for both website setup and photo sessions. Why is the offer only valid this week? Casting projects move quickly. Limiting the time frame allows us to onboard talent who are ready to respond promptly to audition opportunities. Do I need a webpage? Yes. It’s how casting directors review your materials and verify that you are represented by a legitimate agency. What if I already have my own website? All talent signed to TL Modeling Agency must be clearly viewable on our website. We are unable (and it's unprofessional) to send casting directors to a third party site, away from our website. Can you guarantee work? No agency can guarantee bookings, but we consistently receive high-quality opportunities for our roster. Can I use my own photographer? Yes; however: all images must be professional and approved by our team before posting. What if I already have professional photos? Email them to us for approval. We require 10 images across 3 outfits. Can I work with your preferred photographer? Absolutely. Booking details for Nival Photography will be provided after joining. Do you have a physical office? We transitioned to a fully online model in 2020 to better serve talent. Most Casting Directors are all online as well and no longer offer in-person auditions. Can I sign with multiple agencies? Yes. Our contract is non-exclusive, provided other contracts allow it. Can I cancel before the year ends? Yes. You may cancel at any time. Website fee refunds are available only within three (3) business days of payment. Follow us on Facebook (TL Modeling Agency) and Instagram (@tlmodel) to see our talent in action. We look forward to working with you and helping you shine in this industry. Warm regards, -- TL Modeling Agency Team -- TL Modeling Agency Team (P) 855-TL-MODEL (F) 832-514-6470 info@tlmodelingagency.com Meredith Schleicher (gmail.com) Hi Meredith & Kai, This is exciting news—congratulations! TL Modeling Agency is one of the agencies I submitted Kai to, so it’s great to see they’ve expressed interest. This is a strong first step into the modeling industry and a great way to start getting exposure and experience. To give you a quick breakdown, they are offering a non-exclusive contract, which means you’re still free to work with other agencies as well. They do have a yearly website fee, which is something some agencies use to maintain your profile for casting directors. From there, they would submit you for castings and opportunities, and like most agencies, they earn through commission when you book work. They will be taking the Standard 10- 20%. Overall, this is a solid opportunity to begin getting Kai out there, building experience, and learning how the industry works—which is exactly why I submitted you to them. That said, the decision is entirely yours, and I want you to feel comfortable with whatever you choose. I do recommend it as a great starting point if you’re ready to move forward. Let me know your thoughts and if you decide to sign or if you’d like me to review anything further with you!

  Meredith Schleicher Jun 8, 2026, 5:14?PM (22 hours ago) to me Hey! I set up on Casting Networks and did a search listing the area as Dallas but it’s giving me locations all over and it looks like all the jobs were posted back in April and May and the chance to submit is past. I don’t see anything current. Is this common?

  Good Afternoon, I hope this email finds you well. The conference call will be a 30 minute phone call. Your mentor will be reaching out to you via phone on your scheduled date and time. No link for Google meet, Zoom, etc. is required for this meeting. Below you will see the information on your first steps into the modeling industry. It will provide you all the necessary stepping stones and resources in order to prepare you for this journey and the conference call. You must read this email thoroughly before the meeting so we can make the most of the call by answering questions and clarifying information. If you are unable to do so, we will have to reschedule the call to ensure you are getting the most out of it and we have a limited amount of reschedules allowed so please keep that in mind. 1. YOUR PROFESSIONAL WEBSITE: On the homepage of your website (http://fullname.modelingfolio.com), Username: personal email address Password: a1234567 (all lowercase) 2. Z CARD: Download your Z Card to your computer from the email that our production team has sent to you. You will be using this with your cover letter, resume, and when you apply to agencies and casting calls. 3. WEB READY FOLDER: Download the Web Ready Folder to your computer from the WeTransfer link that our production team has sent to you through email. These images are already resized to be used online. You will need them to apply to agencies and/or to create profiles on casting websites. To find these, you can search your email using the keyword “Production”. 4. COVER LETTER: Your cover letter will ONLY be ONE paragraph in your paragraph you're going to state why you would want to work with that company or why you would like to model. Moving forward into the paragraph you would state your talent, skills, or anything interesting about yourself you would want them to know. 5. RESUME OUTLINE: Be sure to create a resume to attach to applications. Please see resume and cover letter samples attached to the bottom of this email. Make sure to look at the templates/samples and edit it so it sounds more like you! Go to canva.com and select a template. Here’s a beginner’s guide to Canva: https://www.canva.com/learn/how-to-canva-beginners-guide Insert the images of the front and back of your digital z-card jpeg. (You already downloaded this to your computer, just attach it) https://scribehow.com/shared/Adding_Z_Card_To_Resume_In_Canva__dsT9ALKUR4qRBAYEXgTsng Type out your 1 paragraph cover letter on the same document. Add your modeling experiences (if you have any, if not, use filler information such as skills and hobbies) to the same document as the cover letter paragraph and z-card images. You can add experiences as you gain more. Be sure to format this document into a PDF form to attach to applications. If you choose to have your cover letter and resume information on 2 separate forms be sure to include a photo of yourself on the cover letter page. A child's resume doesn't need to include lots of experience. Keep in mind that you now have In-studio and On Location modeling experience with a creative team. Taking direction and posing. It was a very successful shoot and absolutely counts for modeling experience. Make a list of personality traits that are good for modeling. You can also add hobbies like singing, dancing, sports, theatre. Now that you have the tools to begin applying, it is time to learn about the different types of modeling! 6. INDEPENDENT MODELING: Independent modeling is when models work for themselves as freelancers and they are responsible for finding all their own jobs, but they get to keep all of the money earned. You should take jobs that are a minimum of 2 hours in one day; maximum 8 hours, nothing more than 10. You can always discuss with the client/company the amount of time you will be working and split in a couple of days if necessary. As an independent model, we suggest you charge $100 to $150 an hour for your modeling services. Always refer back to the job description to make this decision and price yourself wisely so you don’t miss any opportunities. Make sure to check the information corresponding to your state regarding job permits and regulations on the Department of Labor webpage: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/state/child-labor/entertainment New York: https://dol.ny.gov/hours-work-minors New Jersey: https://www.nj.gov/state/njfilm/regulations.shtml Illinois: https://dceo.illinois.gov/whyillinois/film/filminginillinois/childlaborlaws.html Georgia: https://dol.georgia.gov/employers/child-labor-and-minors-entertainment Florida: https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/youthlabor Tennessee: https://www.tn.gov/workforce/employees/labor-laws/labor-laws-redirect/child-labor.html Boston: https://www.mass.gov/working-under-18 Texas: https://gov.texas.gov/film/page/laws_child_labor CASTING WEBSITES: These are not modeling agencies! Oftentimes models find freelance and independent opportunities through job search sites called casting websites. These websites are reliable sources that will give you a list of jobs to look through and apply to. Here are links to the casting websites that we would recommend: https://www.castingnetworks.com/ https://castingfrontier.com/ https://www.buildcasting.com/ https://www.backstage.com/ https://nowcastingkids.com/ https://kidscasting.com/ https://www.centralcasting.com/ga/ (New York/ Georgia/ Louisiana/ CA) (FREE) https://www.4starcasting.com/ (Chicago/ TX/ GA/ Maryland/ CA) (FREE) s://www.bostoncasting.com/# (Boston) MODEL SEARCH: When you're looking for opportunities online, make sure to use keywords so you can filter through all the information and get the results you want. Make sure to search in the three major cities around you so you can expand your search, and add the type of modeling you'd like to participate in. For example: Search within the cities closest to home in order to make it easy to attend casting calls. Open auditions for kid/teenage models for catalogs in New York City or Boston or Philadelphia, Atlanta, Miami, Dallas, or Houston Open casting calls for kid/teenage models for fashion shows in New York City, Boston Philadelphia, Atlanta, Miami, Dallas or Houston 7. AGENCY REPRESENTATION: Models who sign with an agency are represented by that agency, which will help the model find work through an agent. There will be a split commission structure between the model and the agency. RECOMMENDED AGENCIES: Finally, here's a couple of agencies I recommend you start applying to. Make sure to follow up on your application by emailing them 2 to 3 weeks after you have applied. Recommended Agencies: APPLIED TO 6 AGENCIES ON 6/3/2026 These agencies were specifically picked out for you, so go ahead and apply to these agencies! There are also additional agencies on the last page of the model guide. APPLYING TO AGENCIES: Most agencies have their submission forms on their websites; search in the menu for links that say ‘Get Discovered’, ‘Apply’, ‘Become a Model’, etc. Make sure to read their instructions beforehand so you can have all the information they require plus the materials they want before you start applying. It shouldn't take you more than 5-10 minutes. Make sure to keep track of your applications. Make sure to always research the agency or client before applying and double-check information before sharing your personal information with anyone. These are the stepping stones to start your journey into modeling and on the call we will be discussing so many more important aspects of the modeling industry to further guide you. Please have this email open in front of you before the conference call begins. The resume and cover letter samples are attached to the bottom of this email. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns and I look forward to speaking with you! Keep in mind we operate during normal business hours Monday - Friday 9am - 5pm est.

Email AI

Nothing here is tagged as Email AI — and it would not be: no note in the CRM carries an AI marker, and there is no automated author among the 246 people who write notes. So this cannot yet tell you whether Email AI handled this client. The moment Email AI stamps what it writes (anything will do — an [AI] prefix), its messages appear here and every past thread re-sorts on the next gather.
