Alycia Kaback Presents The IT Factor Success Story Zack Yanni

Alycia Kaback, Zack YanniZack has recently sent us an email with some exciting news!  He booked a ING Bank Commercial along with 12 other VIP Talent members and will be working on the Sex and the City 2 Movie!

Here is what Zack had to say:

 

Hello VIP Talent Connect Family,

 

I would like to inform you that Kristian Sorge picked myself and twelve other VIP Talent Connect members for the new ING Bank commercial.

 

We shot the commercial in Newark, NJ and it was a lot of fun and was a great networking opportunity. This week I will be working on SEX & THE CITY 2. Thank you so much for giving us the information about the open call.

 

I have attached my picture when I was in line with over 5000 actors. I got called back. God is Great. Its not about luck but about Faith in God and Confidence in yourself plus when I told the Sex and the City casting director who I knew from the VIP Talent Connect event he was very impressed and this edge helped me and the other VIP Talent Connect members land the role.

 

The “luck” stigma just reduce the motivation and kill the desire to achieve your dream. I can not tell you how much this has changed my life.

 

Also, I’m planning my first trip to LA this month in order to extend the network of people I know, this trip will be from the advice and guidance of Mr Tim Greene again from VIP Talent Connect. Thank you so much for all the help and connections that you provide us. I never expected my first 6 months to be that awesome and be SAG Eligible. Thanks to every industry person involved with VIP for all the advice and support they have given. I love you all.

 

Best Regards,

 

Zack Yanni

Alycia Kaback and The IT Factor Advise– Please Be Careful!

Alycia Kaback The IT Factor ScamFinding acting and modeling jobs on the internet can be very dangerous.  Many of the jobs on sites like Craigslist are fake– most are money scams or just waste of time, but some can be life threatening.  A recent story on CNN is particularly alarming.  It tells of a woman, Michelle Marie Gopaul, who put an advertisement on craigslist for a casting call looking for infants to be in a new film.  Gopaul allegedly ran away with a one month old baby after the parents allowed her to go into separate room with the child– something a parent should never allow. Generally legitimate jobs are not posted on sites like craigslist because real productions turn to agencies and management companies to find qualified people to fill the roles.  This is a prime example of why it is so important to have the right connections.  VIP Talent Connect events put talent right in front of real casting directors and agencies, so aspiring actors and models never have to resort to looking for work in illegitamate places.  For more information click here.
