Myron Fulton Testimonial

The Page Parkes Corporation has been like a family to me. I can honestly say that if it were not for Page and her huge heart I don’t know where I would be right now. The Page Parkes Corporation has given me the confidence, skills, and guidance I needed to move forward in my acting and modeling career. From the hard working staff to the amazing clients, Page Parkes has the total package.

Knowing Page Parkes personally has given me great comfort, because I can see how much she really cares and genuinely wants to see all of her clients succeed. Page is also very hands on when it comes to business. Unlike many successful corporation owners who spend there days sailing on yachts and playing golf, Page spends her days in the office working hard so that she can continue to help young talent like myself reach their dreams and goals. Page is an amazing woman with a heart of gold.

My favorite thing about the corporation is that they are very honest. Sometimes they might say something you don’t want to hear, but you have to remember that they have your best interest at heart.

Many people get confused and think that an agent is supposed to make you a super star, and that all they have to do is sit back and enjoy the ride, but that is very far from truth. It takes a lot of hard work from both sides to make a successful career.

As I continue my journey to my dream out here in Hollywood, I know that I have a full family of well educated, hardworking professionals right behind me no mater how far I go. It is an honor to even be associated with the Page Parkes Corporation. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Ashlee Disney Testimonial

Agent Review was a big success this year (2009) for me. As an attending model, I must say if I hadn't have gone, I wouldn't have the options I do now.

Page has helped myself & other models out so much! I would do Agent Review over again any year & would definitely refer any model to go. It's a GREAT career opportunity!

PS> The only person that can really help your career is yourself. If you don't research & work hard for what your reaching for, the chances are slim you will make it. Page is just giving an opportunity to us models & actors. A great opportunity. The rest ... is up to you & how bad you want it =)

Chantell Worzel Testimonial

WHAT A WEEKEND!! I would like to applaude everyone at Page Parkes Agency for the most organized and professional event. You all deserve a medal! (or massage). It was a very overwhelming day on Sunday with Erica getting all the feedback. I would describe it as a rollercoaster. She was exhausted but pleased with what she learned. She got alot of flak for her hair but got in the car and said "at least that can be fixed! "(Miss Positive) She was also very impressed with the event and commented that maybe one day she could be helping someone fullfill their dreams just like you all do.

Thank you for everything you have done for Erica this has been such a fantastic experience for her and I know she will be successful in what ever she does because of it.

Please let Page know this as well. She must be very proud of all of you.

Sincerely,
Chantell Worzel

Rickey Castleberry Testimonial

The Page Parkes Corparation is the back bone of my foundation as an Actor. Page Parkes is more than just a place to learn about the in's and the outs of the Glam life, its a place where one can find themselves, a place where you can understand your purpose and how to achieve what some people call the impossible. Page Parkes herself is another mother to me. I appreciate her for helping me advance in my career and giving me the nudge to keep pressing when it seemed like the unachievable wasn't achievable. I would recommend anyone to Page Parkes who is seeking to enter into the entertainment industry because its a real place with real people with real talent.

Kimberly DeNeve Testimonial

I am so pleased to have finally made your acquaintance - PPC has been a godsend in my life, utterly, and I could not be more grateful for the affiliations I have made there.
I trust and respect Michelle Rogers implicitly, and cannot speak highly enough of her- though, in fact, your entire staff is impeccable. Having now met you, I understand why!

I am truly blessed to have been directed to your doors.

Thank you.
Kimberly DeNeve

Megan Rainbird Testimonial

I have had the best experience with Page Parkes Corporation. I have been given so many opportunities through the agency and my agents. I started at the age of 9 years old and have remained very close with them throughout the past 15 years. I feel very forntunate to have the same agent, Tabitha, the entire time I have been here. I don't feel you find that kind of relationship very often in this industry. I have had the opportunity to travel to a few different places through the agency; Paris, France at 16 (with my mom); Milan, Italy at 19; Hamburg, Germany at 23; Miami, LA, Dallas and NY to name a few. This agency is very special because they really care about their models. While I love to travel and have a great experience everytime, I still think about how amazing my mother agency is and how I miss them. They have taught me so many things; how to confident with myself, meet new people from all over, enjoy my job, and the business side of this industry because you can get lost very easily. Thank you Page Parkes Corporation!

Mariah Chaney Testimonial

My name is Mariah Chaney and I have been a professional model with the Page Parks Modeling Corp for more than 20 yrs. I have been very blessed to have planted my feet with a wonderful group of people. For many years I have traveled around the world with Page Parks allowing her to guide my career. I can say unequivocally that she must have done something right, because I have seen many models come and go and I have no plans of slowing down now. What many people don't know is that, this is a business and you are your business. Your agency can train you and mold you but it's totally up to you as to how far you go in this business and how long you last.

I can remember the first time I had a meeting with Page Parks and she ask me what did I want to do with my career. I told her exactly what I wanted to do and she gave me all the tools that were needed to succeed in this business. The rest was up to me. This had been a long time dream of mine since I was 7 yrs old and finally my feet were planted on a solid foundation here at Page Parks 713.

We are totally family here and I do mean the company as a whole, from all of the owners, bookers, accountant down to the receptionist. We all have a great deal of respect for each other. Over the years I have laughed and cried with my Page Parks family. I love this place and could only wish that every person that walk through these doors would have the same experiences that I have had over my 20 yr span with this agency.

I would like to say to any aspiring model if you are seeking a career in modeling make sure you are doing it for the right reasons and that you are not operating outside of your calling. This business is not for the faint at heart. You have got to be a strong person to begin with.... If you have self esteem issues this business is not for you.You have to be comfortable in your own skin and love yourself inside and out. This business will not fix what you are lacking within yourself. You must have thick skin and a strong determination to know that if your not booked for something then maybe your not right for that booking just be prepared for the next. If you want to succeed in this profession, you must treat it as if that is what it is..... not just a hobby or just a way to make quick money.

Page once said to me in the early 90's that clients book girls that they enjoy spending the day with. It took me a while to figure out what she meant..... it means be on time, be ready to work, be pleasant, be prepared, be polished and always treat people how you expect to be treat and that includes your fellow models.

Again I will say your agent can give you the tools needed for this business but its up to you to mold what you have been given.

Sincerely,

Mariah Chaney

Kelly Hill Testimonial

I wanted to express my feelings and thoughts of what I experienced as a parent with Page Parkes Camp. The entire Pages Parkes group were extremely kind and professional; any concerns I had were quickly put aside. With Ashley Jr. being the only boy in his group I originally thought he would feel awkward and out of place being by himself, I'm very pleased to say that wasn't the case at all. Thank you for bringing back the confidence he has been missing. Thank you for making him feel included even at time when all the girls were in make-up. Thank you for letting him know he belonged. The experience Ashley had was unbelievable and at the end of the day he wanted to hang out with his Page Parkes group more then the family. I am very thankful that Ashley had the opportunity to be involved with this program and I am very proud of how much he learned in such a short period of time thanks to Pages Parkes.

Thanks again Christy, you have been a breath of fresh air to Ashley and we will never forget that.

Denise Pollis Testimonial

Ladies, I may have been the senior member of the class by about 30 years, but I can guarantee you no one had more fun or learned more than me! I could not have been paired with a warmer, more accepting and patient group of young people. What joy to see some parents are actually “doing it right” with and for their children in this day and age.

From the tour of the agency through our wrap-up and good-byes, this weekend was an experience I will never forget!!!!!!! Tang, Taz, and Megan at Charli’s were just super. Everyone loves my hair (as do I, of course)!

Friday afternoon, Sarah and Ameris could not have been more informative and professional while helping us relax and have FUN, too! I can only hope I made them proud.

On Saturday, Arthur, Collin, and Todd were amazing (each in more than one way). You know I cannot wait to see the pictures. I promise I will never look at or treat “merchandise” in the same way!

Christy, Alicia, Ameris, and you were real angels on Sunday! I was so nervous when I walked into the audition room, I thought it was going to be the first time I ever fainted! The Improv class and practice before may not have helped me produce a perfect performance, but at least, I stayed on my feet!

A special thanks for feeding me, too! Eating is not my favorite past-time, but I certainly enjoyed and appreciate the much needed sustenance.

Truly, I would be honored to represent and be represented by such a professional organization of dedicated people; but whatever the decision, you have given me three days of memories I will cherish forever. If you or any of the team need a place to stay in Dallas, our guestroom can be reserved via a simple phone call or e-mail (and I mean it!!!!!!).

My best and many hugs to all,
Denise Pollis
