IMJ-Online: A Global Stage for Model and Actor Talent

Minogue Verlag’s key model and actor networking site IMJ-Online has entered its tenth year of global service for the modeling, fashion, and acting industries. The modeling and acting portal at IMJ-Online.com is an innovative service connecting global talent to local, national, and international talent agencies, casting directors, fashion houses, photographers, and other so-named “bookers” of talent.

Promoting diversity in both location and modeling type, IMJ-Online, a division of Minogue Verlag, has stood firm in its commitment to provide a geographically-independent modelling and acting platform. At www.IMJ-Online.com, all ages and genres of confirmed or aspiring models and actors can pursue their career goals. Casting calls, model portfolios, model or actor biographies, and more are available for IMJ-Online members.

Although the majority of IMJ-Online models exhibit what are thought of as “traditional” characteristics sought by modeling agencies, there are also many models seeking work in other categories. These categories include but are not limited to: child models, hand or foot models, athletic models, mature models, twin models, plus-size models, and petite models.

IMJ-Online Chief Editor Avalon Keets explains that so-called “ideal” model measurements – a height of 173 cm plus for women, 180 cm plus for a man, and usually rather thin as measured by BMI (Body Mass Index) -- are not necessarily ideal for marketing companies vying to present the merchandise of their varied advertising customers in the most positive light. For example, advertisers seeking to showcase running shoes may not be interested in using the same model-type used to advertise lingerie or dishwashing powder.

“Woman’s fashion models, especially runway models, get the most attention. Models in this sub-set, including well-known supermodels such as Giselle Bundchen or Sesilee Lopez, are the poster-girls of the modelling industry! But these women make up only a small fraction of the men, women, and children enjoying success as professional and semi-professional models today,“ says Ms. Keets.

This variety of industry needs is perfectly met by a highly physically and demographically varied pool of models and modelling hopefuls at IMJ-Online.

Also, in recognition of the strong industry ties between modeling and acting, IMJ-Online is an established service provider for the acting community. The actors and actresses who are IMJ-Online members have all www. IMJ-Online.com tools at their disposal, including .pdf SED cards, actor biographical entries, actor portfolios, and access to constantly updated acting casting calls.

IMJ- Online was founded in 1999 as a division of the Minogue Verlag GmbH group. Known for its global and multi-talented membership, has IMJ-Online is a recognized leader in the independent modeling and acting sectors of the international advertising and entertainment industries.
