ABOUT CMTC:
The Canadian Model and Talent Convention (CMTC) provides a unique opportunity for individuals who are interested in pursuing a career in modelling, acting, singing, and/or dance. Those who successfully audition for CMTC are invited to attend the annual four-day event. During the four day event, new faces and their visitors have access to over 10 seminars and workshops led by industry experts including prestigious agents, managers, casting directors, producers, record labels, and scouts from all over the world. Those who successfully audition can also participate in competitions designed to emulate real castings and auditions. These competitions provide first-hand industry experience and allow participants to showcase their potential in front of the industry reps who are in attendance at CMTC. The industry reps judge the competitions while scouting for their roster. At the end of the event, attendees participate in callbacks where they have the opportunity to meet with and discuss potential next steps with any of the agents, managers, scouts, producers, record labels, and casting directors who have indicated an interest in them.
