The Free, No Obligation Online Resource For Talent And Production Professionals

Tampa Bay, Florida

__________________________________________________

Welcome to Independent Performer, IndependentPerformer.Com, the newest web resource in the independent talent web site series! Established on May 26, 2004, Independent Performer was created by the pioneers behind Independent Modeling and Independent Acting, and this web resource is for both talent and production professionals. While some parts of this site are updated daily, such as our Trident Audition System, News, and our Forum, most updates on this occur bi-weekly or monthly. See our News section for updates as they happen.
Behind the scenes, our TALON system gathers information on the Internet daily. That information supports and drives this web resource.

Three As One

Independent Performer is one of three distinct resource components designed to work together. These three sites share the same forum, sources, and a massive entertainment Industry database.

Independent Modeling, IndependentModeling.Com
"Changing the business of modeling"
Independent Modeling was the original independent talent site, and it was established on September 4, 2001. At that time, upon launch, modeling had a new look, and the way that talent booked work would forever change as the model and talent agency became obsolete overnight. The ultimate free modeling resource, this site include tools for the independent model, information on scams, model jobs, and tutorials on managing your modeling career and booking work without an agency. Independent Modeling can be selected either from our main menu or through our forum network. Independent Modeling is aimed at models, portfolio photographers, and the businesses that book them. Independent Modeling has been controversial at times, but it paved the way for free lance models who would book work without an agency and without the risk of being scammed. Independent Modeling also paved the way for Independent Performer, and this site in turn is designed to condition newcomers to both Independent Modeling and Independent Acting. All three sites are interconnected.

Independent Acting, IndependentActing.Com
"Acting is not black and white"
Independent Acting was established on November 10, 2002, just over a year and two months after the debut of Independent Modeling. Independent Acting is geared for actors, and it has much of the same content as Independent Modeling with an emphasis on actors, head shot photographers, and independent film. Independent Acting is also has an award winning design, and some people like it better than Independent Modeling design-wise. Independent Modeling, however, is still queen of content, and the site is huge.

Independent Performer, IndependentPerformer.Com
"Discover your potential"
Established on May 26, 2004, over 2 ½ years after Independent Modeling debuted, Independent Performer has benefitted from the quarter decade of experience that our publishing team has had with the independent talent movement. This site is the most advanced of the three, and it is an indicator of things to come. With an overall design like our sister sites for continuity, this site is the vanguard of the three, bridging Independent Modeling and Independent Acting together forever. Although not as content heavy as our older sisters, Independent Performer is designed to take point and condition visitors for the other sites. We will also pick up the slack and fill in the gaps. We are the pop diva of the three sites, and we're destined to be in the spotlight, performing lean and showing our voice for the audience at hand.
Independent Performer is designed to cover the other entertainment talent occupations, with an emphasis on the following two audiences:

Entertainment Talent
We cover what Independent Modeling and Independent Acting don't. The Independent Performer site is for Singers, Disc Jockeys, Dancers, Writers, Artists, Photographers, Directors, Entertainers, Musicians, Actors, and Models. Of course, the Models and the Actors will be referred to our sister sites, which cover each professional occupation in greater detail than this site ever can.

Production Professionals

DP Director of Photography, Camera Operator, Editor, PA Production Assistant, Foley, Sound and Audio, Makeup stylist, Special Effects, Scenic Art, Directors, Art Directors, Producers, and Casting Directors

This site has a database that is powered by our resident cyber hawk, an artificial intelligence program called TALON. TALON seeks out performing artist and production talent data throughout the Internet, and compiles information for our database. Information is gathered from industry web site directories, talent web sites, production web sites, and other sources of public information such as forums. For talent professionals who like to share their opinions on web forums, TALON is especially programed to spot your posts and swoop down on all of your information. TALON has been known to cross reference compiled information with information from our Entertainment Industry Reference (EIR) database, and may deduce an opinion of its own in the TALON REPORT section of each profile. It can be said that freedom of speech is not free of charge, and while it is a fundamental right which is respected, the opinions shared by professionals define who they are in the entertainment industry. TALON, among other things, is our EIR/PAB/PMB of Internet forums. TALON likes to look at knowledge, experience, and most importantly, attitudes.
TALON does more than this, however. It collects information such as audition notices and industry information and relays this to our team. We use that information to update the Independent Performer web resource.

Independent Performer Editorial
May 2004
Connecting talent with production professionals

A new hawk circles overhead as it keeps an eye on the entertainment industry. Watch out for our TALON.

The curtain has risen, and Independent Performer has debuted in front of the entertainment industry! In the early morning hours of Wednesday, May 26, 2004, the newest addition to a series of highly respected independent talent web sites was established and available for the first time online. That free, no obligation web resource was Independent Performer, and it joined its sister sites Independent Modeling and Independent Acting to connect the production professional community with independent talent. Independent Performer includes a monthly editorial, a monthly mail bag for advice, daily audition listings, a comprehensive production professional and talent database, a career risk assessment section with scams and industry references, production and talent resources, self promotion and networking tools, an entertainment industry community forum for networking, articles, anecdotes, tutorials, agreements, contracts, and much more. Independent Performer, Independent Acting, and Independent Modeling are all designed to work together for the complete entertainment industry career resource.
As can be guessed, this site is designed to have the "top", or "point" position of the three sites, and our objective is to connect the production world with talent, as well as cover other talent occupations that are not covered by independent Modeling and Independent Acting. Half of this site is geared for production professionals and industry networking. Production professionals can get references on talent, post jobs on our audition board, submit articles and tutorials, and more! Likewise, independent talent and performing professionals can look up production professionals and obtain references on them.
Independent Performer introduces a new information gathering and cross reference system called TALON. TALON searches the Internet, especially web forums, and compounds the opinions, attitudes, advice, and knowledge of "professionals" with known EIR/PAB/PMB scores (for those of you scratching your heads, our database for professional industry references is the same as Independent Modeling uses, and it has a different name when used with this site. Here we call it the EIR, or Entertainment Industry Reference, at Independent Modeling it is called the PMB, or Professional Model Bureau, and at Independent Acting it is known as the PAB, or Professional Actor Bureau). This enhanced information is then used in our talent and production listings for noteworthy information and special recommendations. Just like Independent Modeling, we won't list someone if their EIR score is below 500, either. TALON is used along with our EIR database to enhance the listings on this web site. In some cases, if the source is being unprofessional, TALON will go into the EIR database and adjust their score, which would be referenced from the EIR, PMB, or PAB! TALON will even glean information from E-Mail that it gets a hold of. Got an opinion? Make sure that you make a good point and aren't merely stating an opinion to attack someone, as TALON will swoop down on the forum and take note of what you say and how you say it. And people wondered how we were going to address unqualified opinions on Internet web forums. All opinions posted on web forums in the past THREE YEARS have already been compiled by TALON, so check to see what you've posted.
Like our sister site, we expect to have a certain number of people hate us. That's to be expected when you make them professionally accountable and we do the right thing. We wouldn't have it any other way. Besides, we're hoping that the people who talk bad about us will help drive curious people to this site, and the new visitors will be able to easily figure out their motivation. If you're not doing anything wrong, then you have nothing to worry about, and this site is here to help.
The future of the entertainment industry is finally here. Welcome home.

We are also despised by model scams, bad photographers, and unethical models who use independence as an excuse to behave unprofessionally. During our first two years, many have tried to silence our voice and shut down this web site. Some have tried to discount what we have to offer and destroy our credibility. The most pathetic attempts involved threats of criminal charges, as con artists tried to use State laws against us.
They have failed.
Those that hate this site do so because we threaten to undermine their way of life. Those that want this site silenced are unethical companies, schools, photographers, modeling agencies, and unprofessional models, as well as the model scams that plague the modeling industry today. Those that are against this web resource are afraid of us, and they have good reason to be afraid. Model scams and unethical businesses in this industry are a virus, and this site is the antibody, and the cure, for the plague that destroys the modeling careers of many. We have enemies, and we are proud of that fact, as it is proof that we are making a real difference. We also have friends and allies throughout the modeling and the entertainment industries.
This site is the second version of a very successful project. As it was developed over the Summer and the Fall of 2003, we did some experiments at the expense of model scams in order to develop and refine a new generation of tactics and tools to be used by the independent model. In effect, those model scams taught us where our weak points were, and now we are stronger and more effective than ever. Ultimately, those model scams will pay the price as many of them go out of business. It is going to happen, and Independent Modeling is responsible for crippling over a dozen model scams and putting four of them out of business so far. This is only the beginning, too, and the model scams that try to adapt and survive to the industry environment that we have created will fail, regardless of what they think, do, or attempt to say. The most pathetic, criminal, and mentally bankrupt of those scams will even stoop to the level of stealing our ideas and attempting to use them against us, as well as drum up false criminal charges; such measures will trigger lawsuits that will make them go out of business. Action or reaction? We are the action, and others are forced to react too late, as we are the real deal. The industry cannot resist us and what is to come. Resistance to knowledge, ideas, and legitimate professional practices will fail, as this site has already succeeded on infinite levels. Our new model scam section has grown into a large array of six different sections, with model scam definitions and activity patterns, model scam tutorials, model scam countermeasures and anti scam tools, ways of dealing with model scams, an undercover model industry program, and a professional model reference database! The model scam busting tools and other resources available on this web site are only available here, and are the most effective ones to ever be unleashed upon the modeling industry to date. We fully expect other web sites, and even the model scams themselves, to attempt to steal our ideas, and perhaps our very words, and try to use them against us and as bait for unsuspecting models. As it is said, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and even so, we have gone out of our way to make sure that theft and mis use of our properties will backfire. Anyone who tries to steal our property will face legal action (Please see TERMS OF USE for more). If a model is checking out web sites one day and sees something from this site, feel free to let us know. After our attorney takes care of them, you will be eligible for a substantial cash reward from the monetary damages awarded to us. Hint: Independent Modeling has a staff attorney, and this sponsor only gets to make money by taking legal action against people. For your sake, please don't give them a reason to. This, of course, serves as your written warning, and is your only warning. We see those that try to take from that site and twist it around to use against us as low, criminal, pathetic, mentally bankrupt people with substandard intelligence. If you are insane enough to fight this site, at least give us a legitimate challenge. So far, the only scams dumb enough to counterattack are con artists who steal from us, twist things around, and only possess the basic knowledge needed to annoy us and any real professionals unfortunate enough to meet them.
The professional model, and the legitimate modeling industry, have every reason to take this site, and the resources that we offer free of charge, very seriously. Many smart models with thriving independent careers already have. Thousands of models in the Tampa Bay area of Florida, in Seattle, Washington, and elsewhere in the United States have benefitted from the Independent Modeling web site since it has launched. In the coming years, and especially after our magazine launches nationally to tie in with this site, millions of models will benefit and the transformation of the modeling industry is completed.
Waging war against model scams is only a small part of what this site is about. Our scam busting tools are only one of many tools available to the independent model. The main mission of independent modeling is to teach aspiring models, as well as seasoned professional models, how to promote themselves and book jobs independently. After all, if we hand the keys to a modeling career to the models and teach them how to get jobs on their own, then the primary thing that makes a model scam work is rendered ineffective. We have articles and tutorials that teach models how to do just that, and specialized tools such as contracts and pay vouchers that can be printed off of this site and used in the career of the independent model. We generate leads for models, too, as half of this site is dedicated to a massive model job resource called Trident that is the prototype for the greatest model job board and booker contact database ever to grace the Internet. This information, while comprehensive, would be useless unless models knew how to use and exploit it, and we teach them that, too. Trident has a series of self promotion and booking tutorials, and even has a business support section for companies who book independent models. After all, the independent modeling movement cannot succeed without educating businesses as well as models. Our Trident model job resource alone is quite possibly our greatest weapon against model scams, as it undermines any credibility that the scam can fabricate; over half of all model scams are model job related, luring models in with the promise of booking jobs. With a free and clearly effective job resource such as Trident that delivers results, a crippling blow is dealt to the model job scam.
On the subject of businesses that book independent models, we are dealing with that issue tactfully and aggressively, and have come up with effective solutions to any objections that may come up. During interviews with model agencies and companies that book models for work, we identified credibility issues with the concept of independent modeling. While saving money is important to any business, it does no good if time is wasted on unprofessional, unreliable models that pose risks to projects and screening models who have no idea how to properly promote themselves. Companies will always prefer booking models through an agency if is more cost effective, and the agency screens and helps select the appropriate models. If this was an issue before, it no longer is. We have fixed the issues relating to independent modeling, and one of the areas that really made our work cut out for us was making models professionally accountable for how they conducted their careers. Problem solved. Effective immediately, any business can E-mail us for a reference for any model, free of charge. We take compliments and complaints against particular models, and weigh it into a database. The result is a score, based on points, comparable to a credit bureau score. Models with professional level scores will be recommended. Models that don't have them, won't. Additionally, if we don't have any information on a particular model, which is highly unlikely for Tampa Bay based models, we will show the business how to evaluate the prospective model quickly and easily, and then have them report back to us on how the model did if they decide to book them. Independent Modeling now has a database with references on over six hundred Florida models. This database is known as the Professional Model Bureau. As you can guess, Independent Modeling is now a resource for businesses that book models as well as independent models. By making models accountable for their actions, the independent modeling movement now has solid credibility, and it is now more cost effective to book independent models. Here are the facts: Professional independent models are less expensive to book, take no additional time to screen, and can be more flexible for project deadlines than agency booked models. Smart businesses maximize profitability by reducing risk and keeping costs low. Time is saved, communication is enhanced, and money is saved by cutting out the model agency middleman, with no loss in the quality of the model booked! Since models are usually booked into marketing projects that generate profits indirectly, there is an added emphasis on keeping costs down while reducing risk.
Our advice to models is simple: BE PROFESSIONAL AT ALL TIMES. Study, and use, the information and tools on this site. Like it or not, you are competing with other independent models who are serious about their careers and ARE using this site like they should. It's survival of the fittest. Models who refuse to study, adapt, respect what this site can do as a resource, and behave unprofessionally cannot compete with superior professional level models and will not have a career. Professionalism is all about attitude, knowledge, hard work, and applying yourself. Additionally, models who knowingly associate with and help model scams will tarnish their professional reputation and cripple any chance that they have of having a career.
Are you a model photographer?
This newest version of the Independent Modeling web site has another target, too. We are a resource for ethical model photographers. We're there for the photographer who is professional and refuses to exploit models in any way. For those photographers who do want to exploit models, we make it harder to do by teaching models photography, ethical principles of genuine model photographers, and anti scam tools specifically created to cripple the exploitive photographer's business. Did you know that photography businesses that exploit models and photographers who take advantage of the model are model scams, too? Ethical model photographers will be able to have profiles on this site, and we even have a superb new faces section for aspiring models to post snap shots, and model photographers to rate modeling potential and set up test shoots with those aspiring models!
Although some sections like our model go see board will be updated daily, we have a brand new, special section that will be updated daily, too. Published like an off the cuff daily editorial or journal entry, our Independent Modeling BLOG will be the model's key to gauging hot topics in the industry, the newest updates to the Independent Modeling site, and will point the way to even more information!
Of course, the classic sections come back, too, like our monthly editorial and model mail sections. Each month, our editorial article will cover a subject with lots of great information for the models who work in the industry. For those of you with questions or issues, our mail section, written by a professional model on our staff, dishes out answers and advice. We also have a model tool section with links and contact information, an industry section with model industry reviews and interviews, a new model anecdote section featuring stories of independent models in action and their professional adventures, and much more!
The Independent Modeling web site is available free of charge for the industry professional. Of course, it's also free for anyone who wants to study up on how to get into the industry, and we recommend that any aspiring model who wants a career study this site before going to any agency or so called model search. Trust us, you will thank us later when we save you lots of money, as knowledge offsets any potential money wasted. Knowledge is power, and this knowledge is especially special because it doesn't cost you a cent. This site, with the exception of our model shop section, is free of charge. There are no obligations made or implied in regards to using any service advertised here by our sponsors or any other party. Laws and limitations apply, however; please go HERE for terms and conditions of using this site. Independent Modeling is in the process of developing a national modeling resource magazine, which will tie into this web resource.
We hope that models, photographers, and businesses find this site useful and informative, and we hope that you enjoy this site as you freely use it to obtain your professional goals. If you would like to comment on this site, feel free to send us an E-mail. If you don't like this site, you are obviously a model scam or someone who is unprofessional, and allow us to be the first to say this to you:
Check mate. We win.

All copyrights that indicate "Tampa Bay Independent Model" apply to Independent Modeling

UPDATED: - Saturday, November 8, 2003 -

Get an unfair advantage that very few models have- Our full support!

Independent Modeling is looking for twelve qualified, professional level models to help out with the substantially larger site that is about to be unleashed. To be considered, models need to send us a composite card which demonstrates a range of looks, a resume showing a smart, ethical work history, and a cover letter written specifically for this opportunity. Models MUST have professional level composite cards, resume's, and cover letters to be considered. The cover letter needs to be written by the model, with no help, as prospective models need to be able to write well. If E-mailed, we prefer that the E-mail includes a link to a composite card image on the model's professional web site or located elsewhere on the Internet. Please, no file attachments or ZIP files. Models will work part time at the most to contribute to this web site and help improve the industry, as well as boost their professional credibility by showing that they are the working experts in the modeling industry. Models selected will receive a sponsorship package with over a thousand dollars in free services and exclusive tools. Package includes two full portfolio photography sessions (for samples of the quality, look at the pictures on this site done by our sponsor), up to three composite card design set ups, tear sheets, web site consulting, and other assorted career boosting services at no cost. Models will be required to contribute material to this web site on a part time, flexible basis. Sponsorships will be for one year, with renewals possible for outstanding models; those models that do really well will be offered paid staff positions at the upcoming Independent Modeling national magazine.

We will not consider any models who do not have a professional level of experience (models MUST have composite cards and a well composed professional portfolio, as we have no desire to try to "sell" anyone anything, which would be unethical. These positions need professional experience), models who are unprofessional or unethical in any way, or models who are associated with any known model scam (and, yes, we do know who the scams are). Submit by going HERE.

Due to a massive work load preparing the launch of the new site, our response and other updates may be delayed.

Other Updates:

Early version of the "Trident menu" drafted with some humor. Not the new title menu- This is just for fun., and, no, we are not anti agency or the evil ones waving pitchforks. Lighten up.

Trident Job Board Almost Ready

Updated November 7, 2003

The new Trident Job Board is almost ready, and reports indicate that the new resource will have as much work going into just that as the original Independent Modeling site. The new board will undergo final assembly the weekend of November 15-16, and being the final component of the new site this puts the launch toward the end of November. Trident is designed to be the best job board available on any modeling web site in the southeast, and it is being designed from the beginning to be transitioned into its next incarnation in the Fall of 2005. As planned, the section will make up half the size of the Independent Modeling web site. The numbers are in, and we have thousands of models a week looking on our job board for leads, which means that we have the traffic and the audience to make using this new job board and the rest of the Trident job resource worthwhile. There are two reasons why there are not many jobs listed on the present model job board and the new Trident job board. One reason is that we screen for obvious scams (we KNOW that there are legitimate modeling jobs out there, and they are not that enthusiastic about posting on public job boards yet only because they don't want unprofessional models flaking out on them. Well, we have that fixed already, and this is the reason for the Professional Model Bureau! That's right, it's safe now, and we are going to do a lot of work getting the word out). Another reason is that we want to keep the posts to a minimum because we want genuine modeling jobs and want to minimize the competition of other job posts for those that do post. At first glance, most might think that the board is not that great because there are not that many posts. What most cannot see, however, is how many great models regularly visit our job board and send their information to the companies that post there. This will only get better when the new site is unleashed, and Trident is the most updated part of the Independent Modeling site. Best of all, there is NO CHARGE to post on or use this board or Trident. They are free! We leave you know with an excerpt of an E-mail that one company sent us about the old (present) model job board.

"By the way, I was impressed with the models who worked with
us by way of your site. As a local actress, I can't begin to tell you
how invaluable your web site is. Keep up the good work and
thank you for the connecting my company with some pretty
impressive talent."

To post a job on the present board as well as the new Trident, go HERE.

We worked with an experienced independent model by the name of Laura and signed her to our staff over the weekend, and many more will be signed in the weeks to come. Laura received a free portfolio photography session from our sponsor, and was orientated with what we are working on. Her pictures and full profile will be in the new site launching this month. We have also made some site updates and added to our Editorial archives (hint- why are portfolios important in a go see?). See if you can find the other updates, as they are clues to what the new site will be enhanced with!

Job Board: Go See For Maxim Magazine In Miami

The model job board has had old posts removed and is preparing to be moved to a new area in this site as we work on Trident. We are still accepting, screening, and posting jobs and go see notices.

Model References: E-Mail us for free references on Tampa Bay, Seattle, Florida, and Washington State Models. We have over 400 models on file and a rating system that represents their professional history.

The new Independent Modeling web site is coming in November, 2003! Until then, feel free to explore what's here, and celebrate the passing of a legend that has made industry history. Material on this site will be available, and is included, in the new Independent Modeling site now being created by a team of models, photographers, agents, attorneys, and other industry professionals who are aiming to make a difference.
