Many people dream of becoming actors or models, but frequently assume that the only way to do so is by getting a lucky “big break.” However, the talent industry has plenty of opportunities for people to get their foot in the door, especially if they work with a talent development and coaching service such as Turner Talent.
Helping newcomers navigate the talent industry
Turner Talent is led by the mother-daughter duo Kelli and Erica Turner. With decades of combined experience in front of the camera and behind the scenes, Kelli and Erica know the ins and outs of the talent industry and have made a career of sharing these insider tips and tricks with their clients. Turner Talent stands out from other services due to its near-unprecedented transparency in the industry — the result of its whole-hearted commitment to helping others achieve their dreams.
Turner Talent’s signature offering is its Casting-Coaching-Connections program, which provides aspiring actors and models the guidance they can’t receive from other sources. Through online video guides and one-on-one guidance from Turner Talent’s team of experienced talent industry professionals, Turner Talent’s clients learn the skills needed to thrive in the industry that isn’t often taught, such as common lingo, audition techniques, set etiquette, and more.
Often, aspiring talent has lots of questions about the industry, and they will ask the first person they encounter. Frequently, the first face they see is their agent, but asking questions to agents can be more detrimental than helpful. Agents are looking for clients who know what they are doing so all they have to do is book jobs. “Asking your agent basic questions is not only a quick way to frustrate your agent but also a distraction that will prevent them from doing their job,” Kelli explains.
As a result, many agents like to work with Turner Talent’s clients because they know that actors and models with whom Turner Talent works are better prepared to work. “We look at ourselves as an asset to agents,” says Erica. “By coaching talent and helping them develop their skills, we let agents spend more of their time focusing on actually booking gigs. This is a mutually beneficial arrangement for us, agents, and clients alike.”
Finding opportunities for everyday people
One of the Turner Talent team’s passions is helping everyday people find the opportunities they need to realize their dreams of working in acting or modeling. “We hope our program can help people realize that there is always a place for them in this industry, no matter what their background or physical characteristics are,” says Kelli. “With the right amount of perseverance and understanding, anyone can find the jobs that are the perfect fit for them.”
Turner Talent is advocating for a more transparent and inclusive talent industry. In an industry not known for being honest or upfront, they are revolutionizing what it means to put clients first. With the guidance, aspiring actors and models can be better prepared to manage and overcome the complex obstacles of getting a foot in the door of the talent industry.

“Actors and models don’t have to look a certain way or be a specific height or size to be successful anymore,” Kelli asserts. “We are a great first step for aspiring talent who don’t know how to get their start in the industry.”
