Moda Belletto Agency celebrates your uniqueness!
Placement with an Agency and a manager is one of the most important aspects of your career. In order to be seen by an agency you would need to travel to their location, have a place to stay, and visit the agency hooting for an interview. This can be very expensive and stressful for many of people to accomplish on their own. Then imagine that you wanted an interview with perhaps 10 or even 20 agents.
More often than not this possibility just isn’t in the cards. It maybe financially possible for some and then there is the time required to visit each agency in each city in many different countries all around the world, around the U.S. or even around the Dallas, Fort Worth Metroplex. Getting in doors is the most challenging aspect of the industry.
Moda Belletto Agency brings the doors to you. Our trained talent is presented to those agencies all in one venue. We present talent to a large grouping of agencies in a 5-day experience here in Dallas, Texas. Approximately 60 worldwide agencies attend this event.
We change the playing field for our talent and our success rate is huge! We have many additional ventures where we bring the directors, producers, and agencies to our talent directly. Allow us to make that difference in your life! Call us today and join a family of experts that are on your team!

Subject: Review for the shortest but firecest woman I know :)
Wow. Where to begin with Dea… Dea is one of the most caring, adorable, fierce women I know. Since I met her she has taught me so much about the entertainment industry that I never knew. This isn’t stuff you can just google, it’s information that’s been passed around by people in the industry for years. If you’re someone with a dream in the entertainment world, whether it be modeling, acting, singing, voiceovers, etc. Dea’s got your back. If you cooperate with her and give your best, she’ll do the same tenfold. She’s so kind and loving, but also tough. This industry is not for the faint of heart, and she makes sure to not ever sugarcoat it. I’ve been with her for about a year, and one of the things we accomplished was attending the model and talent expo. After preparing and practicing for months, we went in the summer and showcased all that we had to offer as well as learning more helpful information about the industry. After working hard with her, I’m pleased to say that I’ve signed with a full service agency (representing acting and modeling) in Atlanta. I’ve also been offered other placements in other agencies such as New York and Dallas. I couldn’t have accomplished any of these amazing first steps into my dream career without her help. And even if you’re not particularly interested in modeling or acting, you’ll still gain something outta learning from her, and that’s confidence. I guarantee after a few classes, the very least you’ll be able to do is stand a little taller and speak a little louder. She is an honest and good woman who will always have your best interest. I could keep going about her awesomeness but the main takeaway I want you to have is this: This is the ‘foot in the door’ you’ve been looking for. This is one of the best places to get started with your dream. TAKE A CHANCE. You're in good hands. I promise :)
