Tilmar Talent

The guy below is either a shill or a delusional victim of this «Elton»… I’m attending an Open Call tomorrow for this agency. Will update right after.

Elton’s represented me for 6 years and has been there even when I was active duty Navy living in San Diego and only able to audition once every month or 2 (the whole time he was patient). I’ve gotten about 100+ national commercial auditions from him in those 6 years (never booked a single one, some callbacks but never a booking… fingers still crossed) and I’m still with him (meaning he hasn’t dropped me for lack of performance). In this business longevity and perseverance count both of which I have so he knows it’s going to happen and he is there by my side always encouraging me.
With that said he is a great agent and does his job. He delivers auditions (of course we as actors always want more but for my type (buff fit guy) I believe 2 – 3 national commercial auditions a month are good).
As for the other comment about using his photographer which at the time was Paul Gregory I too remember thinking there was some sort of collusion there and that $ 800 for 5 looks was pretty outrageous… until I did some research and asked around and found out that Paul was one of the top tier most respected photographers in the business. Now that I am wise to the ‘game’ I understand that a great headshot is really an actors greatest weapon in this town (ESPECIALLY a new actor with a very empty resume) and that if you get one great headshot for $ 800 and it helps you book a national commercial, print job or television role than it was obviously worth it.
Overall great agent, great friend and happy to be with him.
Edit: Ironic that I just noticed and realized that my profile pic on here was a shot taken by Paul Gregory.

I went in to audition for Elton. Even had a 2^nd interview with him. He told me that he was very interested in representing me, but I needed to get new headshots from a photographer he likes.
I told him I just had headshots done. He told me to send him a link to all my photos from the session, which I did as soon as I got home from the meeting. Elton did not contact me back after that. I e-​mailed him a few more times and he never responded back.
I finally just decided he only wanted to rep me if I used HIS photographer friend. Seemed a bit shady to me.
I am not certain of that is the reason why or not, but the man should have had the decency to let me know why he changed his mind about representing me.
2 stars for being unprofessional.
