Testimonials

iPOP!  guided me the right way  and gave me a boost in my confidence, which I now benefit from in my  career. I walked the Dolce and Gabbana  show in Milan. I signed with many different agencies worldwide. The reason for sharing this is to show what iPOP! meant to me, and I am sure for many others.

Attending iPOP! was the best opportunity I’ve ever experienced, and I am deeply grateful. I attended my first concert, the Thirst Project. The highlight was meeting my favorite  group, SOS. Watching them perform, taking pictures, and getting a signed poster was unbelievably great. Despite my nerves about performing, the support of my family, and iPOP! team helped me triumph. I made friends and we talk daily in a group chat approved by our parents, and I cherish these friendships. The best part was simply being there. Awards come in many forms, and the opportunity was my unmatched reward. The experience was amazing. Thank you, iPOP!, for giving me the opportunity to shine.

What an wonderful experience. I had the time of my life and iPOP was a huge stepping stone. Everyone was so nice and helpful! I am overwhelmed by their kindness. Made few like-minded friends across the world hoping to have lifelong friendship. I gave my 100%. We are in the process of signing contract with an Agency.

iPOP was amazing! Ivy was nervous, yet very excited. She was introduced to some amazing people who really believed in her. She met some great talent and learned so many things along the way. I was astonished by the amount of support these kids gave to each other. It was like a family to be a part of something so amazing. She will talk about this experience for a very long time I’m sure. We just signed with a manager and can’t wait for our next journey ! Thank you IPOP!

We live in a small town in England. Evelyn has been at acting school since the age of 6 and just loves acting! After a lot of hard work we were so excited to make it this January! Evelyn made some amazing new friends, had acting bootcamps, had great experience on stage, made it through to the showcase at finale, knocked the competitions out the park, gaining 3 medals across 3 competitions and gained 12 call backs!  We have just signed with TN model and Talent.

iPOP! was an experience I’ll never forget. It was a privilege to be around such so much talent the kids had. They gave me the courage to pursue my dream.

I had 5 call backs which surprised me!  I was offered representation by 3 of the Agencies.  I signed with The Wayne Agency, and my agent has already submitted me for a role in a film. Thank you for everything!

My iPOP experience was amazing! Since iPOP!, I appeared in the movie “Logan” with Hugh Jackman, and lots of television, including shows such as CBS’s “The Odd Couple”, “Hap and Leonard”, “Austin and Ally” on the Disney channel, and “The Soul Man” with Cedrick the Entertainer. I’ve appeared in music videos with Bruno Mars, and more. (Since this review, Bryant has appeared in 6 feature films!)

Not only did I get 15 callbacks from managers and agents and managers, I also won  awards for best actress in commercial and monologue. Words cannot express how happy and proud I feel. I’m looking forward to a bright future.

I just wrapped a national commercial!  I have been busier than ever lately with so much happening and i am so excited to share. Since iPOP! I’ve done numerous commercials, pilots, national print ads, editorials, and short films.

Since attending iPOP!, I’ve booked several commercials including Google, CIAN, Lenovo, and ESN Plus. I booked the lead in a Netflix sitcom, and have done several short films. I’ve also produced a short film that I both wrote and starred in. I continue to learn and develop my skills to become a master of my craft. I look forward to the journey ahead!

Since winning female model of the year and gaining interest from over 20 agencies at iPOP, it gave me the confidence to pursue it as a career. After graduating college, I moved to LA and signed with a top agency. I also have  representation for commercial, TV, and film. I have national campaigns out for Coca Cola, Ulta X, Pur Cosmetics, Sorel, BIG Sexy Hair, and more. I’ve been featured in magazines, booked commercials, and even a music video. I had such a fantastic time at iPOP! and many of the people I met I am still friends with. Truly an amazing experience that shaped me as a young adult!

Since my wonderful journey at iPOP!, I signed with MGMT. I’ve already booked a commercial, a TV series, some independent films, and a feature thriller called “Obsessions”!

Since attending IPOP, I took the knowledge I learned from everyone and turn it into works of art. I was able to write my own scripts and bring my own films to life while composing my own music for the films as well. IPOP helped me have an experience I would never forget. (Arjon has since done 2 feature films and has television credits)

I didn’t realize that I would make such amazing friendships in iPOP! from all over the world. We have so many group chats, and follow each, encouraging each other to succeed.  I met so many incredible people that encouraged me to pursue my dreams and be a better version of myself. The local newspapers in my town have already contacted me to do an article of my achievements and this is just the beginning. iPOP! is still supporting me now, even after the event. I have to thank the directors of IPOP, for whom this may of not been possible. IPOP has really changed my life in a way I never thought.

Since iPOP!, Ethan has been extremely busy. We have been in conversation with all the agents who gave him a call back and we are currently working with a few of them. We are moving to Los Angeles and we trust that Ethan will be very busy. He has been staying motivated while keeping his above average academic standards and excelling in school. iPOP! was the best showcase we have attended and we hoping to attend again very soon. Thank you!

My experience at iPOP! was truly amazing. I’ve learned so much both in training and auditioning in the competitions. Everyone is welcome and everything is acceptable and possible. Even though it’s a contest, there’s so much good energy, vibes and a friendly environment with nice, friendly and kind people. It really helped my confidence, my optimism, my energy and my potential in any category that I would love to participate in the future as a professional actress, I even won awards, and receiving them made me feel more happy and excited that I have ever felt in my entire life. I’ve got callbacks from agents and managers. This event is a truly amazing and wonderful experience, and everything that you may go through in the future, will be worth it.

My kids had an amazing time at IPOPLA! They both loved the experience! My daughter won teen actress of the year and my son won first place for voiceover. Please see below a short video that each of them prepared regarding their experience.

I won awards for self tape, singing, monologue, and headshot. I also received a $15,000 dollar scholarship from the New York Conservatory of the Dramatic Artist! What was most  amazing was meeting people from around the globe who had the same passion as me! I met so many new friends who I still talk to daily! I’m so excited to continue my career as an actor and a singer!

I really had a once in a life time experience and will always love this organization from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you for everything helping along the road to iPOP! This experience is amazing and I want to thank you for making this wonderful experience possible. I have learned so much from iPOP!  and will forever remember that amazing week. None of that would have been possible without you!

We are so thankful to God for giving Josie the opportunity to let her light shine! She received 3rd runner up awards in both Children’s Commercial and Commercial print, as well as the opportunity to walk the runway in the Awards Night Fashion Showcase! We were amazed because iPOP! was Josie’s first big competition experience ever! We weren’t expecting awards! And we definitely weren’t expecting her to receive 18 callbacks!!!! It was such an exciting time, meeting with all the agents, managers, etc. We definitely had a lot of decision making to do! After lots of interviews, and research….we finally made the decision! Josie is now signed with Manikin Model and Talent Agency AND Crawford Talent Management!!!! We are excited for Josie’s next adventure to begin!

If you haven’t already heard, Austin had a HUGE win yesterday at the 33rd Young Artists Awards! He was nominated for Best Young Performer in a TV Series for his large guest star role on House. This was the biggest and most competitive category with 13 of the top male actors competing for this title. Most of these male actors in his category are already movie stars or they currently have series regular roles on major tv networks. After seeing him work so hard for five years, it was great to see him get a big win like this. I am only sending this e-mail to a few people who have helped Austin to get to this point! You know what you have done and we just wanted to say thanks! I have attached a picture of Austin and his co-star from House Haley Pullos (who also won Best Female Performer in a TV series for her role in House)for your enjoyment!

Thanks for everything!

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for such a wonderful experience! My daughter, Sarah A, and myself had a wonderful time! We are exhausted, but had such a terrific time experiencing the business, meeting top notch industry folks and learning from some of the best! Sarah really enjoyed (and learned so much) in her high fashion makeover/model experience for the Showcase. It was a top notch production and we are very proud to have been a part of it. If you need any parent references, please put us on the list!

Thank you again for such a lovely time!

Wow! We are still living the iPOP story! The girls had such a wonderful time and I am so proud of their accomplishments. I know the girls would love to help you promote JRP. And again I want to thank you for allowing Allie to participate. She will be one of your success stories. She has decided to postpone college and move to LA. We are talking to managers now. She is in London as we speak and plans on meeting up with a few of the kids she met at iPOP! Macy may be auditioning for a movie being shot in Tulsa this fall. We will know soon. Of course all three want to move to LA and we are looking at our options and saying our prayers.

Let me know when you need the girls and they will be there! Thank you!

​Sending a hug from New York!

I am really happy to hear from you. IPOP LA was really fun and it changed our lives!!! Me, my brother (Matthew Zhang), and my mom moved to L.A. for 2 months , and I have already booked 8 jobs! One of them a Feature Film as a Co-Star role. My brother has booked 5 jobs, being Feature Films, one Co-star, and one Supporting role!!!

After 15 years of attending model showcases and conventions throughout North America, it has been an absolute pleasure to work with iPOP! The iPOP! staff is 110% dedicated to putting together a spectacular event; each year they surpass my expectations, from the caliber of talent right down to the flawless execution of their events.

We wanted to express our Aloha’s from Maui and many thank you’s for having us at the iPOP! National Convention!! What an amazing event!! It was truly a great family experience and it was more than what we expected! We missed the opportunity to meet you, but we met your sister in the elevator after the Final Awards Night dinner. Our daughter, Barryne had a wonderful experience performing in showcase A with Scott Calcagno as one of the “Tweens” & dancing with Tony G’s group on Preliminary Awards Night, accepting an award for top 10 best dance of the year on Final Awards Night, and got 18 callbacks. But the best reward of all was being surrounded by many great talents and professionals as you! She made a lot of many new friends and talks about iPOP! all the time. We are exploring all her opportunities and will choose the best agency that will best represent her. We most definitely wanted to share our appreciation of our Directors…John F. Stevens and Doug Sloan. They are a great team! We couldn’t thank them enough for all their help from the beginning through the continuous journey of Barryne’s success. We value their professionalism, their honesty, the extensive efforts to exceed our expectations, most of all their generous time shared with us and others! We look forward to hearing from you! We wish you the very best and many more success!

iPOP! was an extremely professional event. From the venue to the staff and the events this was a world class experience. We enjoyed that each day. Having training sessions on site was a plus. The fashion show and runway was quite the first time experience. The TV, audio, lighting, stage equipment, and of course the red carpet made the event a real production.   We enjoyed seeing our daughter have the courage to perform in her categories. We currently are in discussions with both entertainment and fashion/modeling agents.

There was so much going on and the iPOP! staff was so nice and they would help me every step of the way! It was an awesome experience just to preform and walk the runway it was awesome.  Getting to meet with the agents and managers was an awesome experience and a  to the industry. Thank you iPOP! for the experience and the memories!!

It was all amazing and spectacular I am truly going to miss IPOP and all the amazing staff. But I am looking forward to what the future holds for me.

I want to express my gratitude and admiration for the great and hard work you are doing in IPOP. It was absolutely a fantastic experience. As a mother seeing my daughter standing there, opening all the shows and developing herself was amazing.  I will never have words to say thank you in the name of the parents that we were accompanying our children and see their miraculous transformation of how they started to believe in themselves. This experience will be always there with them and it was so beautiful to be present at the IPOP.

Thank you for the wonderful experience I had a iPOP! It was  amazing to sing on stage and act in front of so many agents. It was so much fun and i hope to come back.  I feel so lucky to get such a great opportunity like this and glad i have made it this far. iPOP! has opened so many doors for me and is just the beginning.  It was such a good show and i realize it took a lot of hard work, time, and money to put something like this together.  It was such a blast and I enjoyed every minute of it! It was one of the best experiences I have ever had in my life. I have learned so much from iPOP! and will definitely use it help myself get better in acting and singing.

WOW, what an experience that was! iPOP! was so rewarding – not just an opportunity to work. I love the people I met and the mutual love that was shared for a dream that is possible. The adrenaline I felt once I got on stage I knew I was in the right place. At iPOP! your world changes in a minute – the experience is unforgettable! I was very lucky to  make lifelong friendships! I came from Croatia where my possibilities are limited I have opened many doors for myself., I received 27 callbacks from agents. I’ve been very busy talking to agents so I feel like I never left and I never want to. My message to people is follow your dreams no matter what they are, no matter how impossible they are to some people… cause once you follow your heart the doors open by itself!

Rozalyn – this opportunity was like no other.  I  am a Dreamchaser and so I chased on! I met so many like-minded individuals. When I came back  home I was a changed person, exuding more confidence than I thought I had inside me. Thanks iPOP for providing a path for me to advance and now will be signing with my first agency!

Avelynn – A dream come true…the opportunity of a lifetime…a game changer. I got to be myself and grow as both a person and a performer. I made new friends and learned so much all while having fun! I am now in forward progression after having callbacks and signing with an agent.

Momager – if you’re all hesitant about sending someone to this…Don’t be. It is the experience of a lifetime! It is a pleasant mix of discipline and fun. It is both exciting and exhausting. I am so proud of my daughters lovingly, coined “the duo,” at iPOP and for all those that taught them and guided them.

At first I was afraid – I was afraid of failing. But I learned from iPOP! that there is no such thing as failure. With many experiences behind me, I could never have thought that I could experience so many beautiful things in a few days! From the first day I felt love from the children, parents, agents and people who work there. It is a work done by professionals who do their best to make everything “perfect”.  It was something that I cannot express in words and something that I can never forget. Thank you iPOP! for the chance! Those who have big dreams, I warmly recommend!

This great event was amazing, astonishing and marvelous. We received a lot of fun, incredible emotions, happiness and joy together with a huge bunch of experience and skills! We met lots of talented people who has a significant impact on the entertainment industry, and friends from all over the world who have became our second family.  We are grateful and thankful for the opportunity to be a part of such a great event!

We are beyond proud to receive so many awards from the judges. But the greatest award is the appreciation of the people! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! No one who achieves success does so without the help of others. One day, one opportunity, one great event can change the life of one child forever!

My daughter Audrey attended iPOP! and so much has happened! She signed with an LA Agent, and has booked commercials for Apple and Subaru, and been in some short films. Lots of fun times that all started with iPOP! Thanks you guys!

My  IPOP! experience was exciting, engaging, and educational! Saturated and targeted exposure to professionals in acting, singing , and modeling industries is essential, and IPOP! delivered a hundred percent! There is no better way to learn on how to become a professional than learning from artists who’ve been in the industry and willing to share while making it fun and engaging. The workshops and seminars were a gold mine. I am very grateful for this experience.

Receiving  awards as a mature adult and first generation immigrant,  was a cherry on top for me.  I am overwhelmed with gratitude to IPOP team for creating this unbelievable opportunity and a boost in my confidence that the future is bright.

My participation at iPOP!  prepared me to make the big move to New York City. At iPOP!, I immediately signed with a NY agent, so I picked up and moved to start a new work life. It was the best decision I’ve ever made. The day after I landed, I had a photoshoot and my first day on a real movie set, which were 3 consecutive overnights. Since then, I’ve appeared in print ads for Hollister, numerous commercials for T-Mobile, AT&T, LG G6, Olay, Macy’s Backstage and so much more. I currently still am working in the modeling and entertainment industry appearing in tv shows, movies, & commercials. It wouldn’t have been possible had iPOP! not given me the tools to go out into the real world and pursue my dreams. Thanks iPOP! (Nicole has since appeared in numerous feature films since this review)

I was lucky enough to attend  iPOP, where I had hoped to kick start my career.  I participated in t modeling, and won teen model of the year, and a few other medals. Since iPOP!, I signed with two modeling agencies, and have been in five magazines including Girlfriend and Girl Power. I’ve booked editorial work including bridal, makeup shoots, and  recently had the honor of walking the runway for the  “Jurassic World-  Fallen Kingdom”!. If I had not attended iPOP!, I never would have thought of modeling. I have come so far in doing things I never imagined. Definitely an experience I will never forget. Thank you!

I attended iPOP and have now been in commercials, including Footlocker, Nike for Jay Z, and also in a music video with Macklemore. I was in the movie “The Z Virus” and I’m working on making my dreams reality!

Since my wonderful journey at iPOP!, I signed with MGMT. I’ve already booked a commercial, a TV series, some independent films, and a feature thriller called “Obsessions”!

Wow wow! What an amazing experience. I DID IT! iPOP’s changed my life in so many ways, wods cannot even begin to describe. DMH Talent and iPOP gave me the opportunity to show the world my talent and that hard work and determination does pay off at the end.

Since attending iPOP!, I have learned and grown so much as an actor. All the advice and directions that I received I applied to my career, sharpening and honing my skills. I was cast in an upcoming streaming series called “Mob Mentality”, as well as part of a one act musical play. All that iPOP!  has taught, has helped me get to where I am today.

I had the experience of a lifetime participating in the training and the competition and, of course, the gala. I absolutely recommend this event for anyone interested in pursuing a career in entertainment.

This was literally the most amazing day. I truly  enjoyed meeting the agents and managers at the callbacks and words can’t explain the awards show. It was beyond my wildest dreams. I would absolutely love to return in the near future. Thank you IPOP! for all of the amazing memories and for all of the fun.

iPOP! was one of the greatest experiences of my life. I met some amazing people. I feel so grateful. I loved meeting and connecting with all the great coaches. I am so happy to have met awesome agents and managers. I was offered a contract, and have made friends with people from so many different places. Meeting them all, helped me through the week and made the trip so much better than I could have imagined. I wouldn’t change anything except that I wish we all had more time together and more time to learn. I learned so much. I will cherish the whole experience. That week is one that I will never forget.

My experience at iPOP! was truly amazing. I’ve learned so much both in training and auditioning in the competitions. Everyone is welcome and everything is acceptable and possible. Even though it’s a contest, there’s so much good energy, vibes and a friendly environment with nice, friendly and kind people. It really helped my confidence, my optimism, my energy and my potential in any category that I would love to participate in the future as a professional actress, I even won awards, and receiving them made me feel more happy and excited that I have ever felt in my entire life. I’ve got callbacks from agents and managers. This event is a truly amazing and wonderful experience, and everything that you may go through in the future, will be worth it.

I had a really amazing experience. It was life changing and I learned a lot about the industry. I’ve never done anything like that before and it was really fun. I made friends, everyone was nice and supportive, and I felt like I belonged. I am very grateful for the unforgettable experience – it was phenomenal.

The Pep Rally  was so inspiring to start IPOP!  I got to do everything, for which I am so grateful for. In the acting boot camp, they  gave me amazing feedback and inspired me. Everyone was cheering each other on, it was such a great atmosphere! It was hard work,  but I pushed through it!  I had such a great time and gave me so much confidence. On the final day, I received 17 call-backs –  I was thrilled! I could not believe it! What an end to an amazing adventure.

What iPOP! creates is bigger than the parts it brings together… the event itself is great, but there’s more to it… I met people from Denmark, Chile, all over USA, Peru, Germany, Brazil, Switzerland, South Africa, etc, and we shared our lives,and how we felt about it all, through the whole process. I grew as a person more than you can imagine. It made me a greater young man, and made me realize that I still have a lot to learn. Every agent, every casting director was a teacher for me. I really learned so much, in this incredible experience. iPOP! creates an atmosphere of professionalism, hard work, fun and excitement, and that unique blend is key to find success and grow as a person and a professional. I returned home happy, feeling like a champion. THANK YOU. It has been truly awesome, it was an honor and great, great fun.

I would like to express our gratefulness for the experience lived by participating in iPOP! The event represented a great experience for such a young performer, in order to have an example of what she’s to be up to when developing her artistic career. The iPOP! team did a wonderful and very dedicated job, always giving their best to make sure everything ran smoothly.  I loved the wonderful message, for these youngsters to follow the route of being good persons above any other considerations…That was really marvelous and encouraging for them to do things the right way.

When my mom agreed to let me attend IPOP! I was so excited.  Words cannot describe the happiness I felt.  I couldn’t wait to share the news with my family and friends.  I’ve never been more excited in my life.  I didn’t know what to expect – I started worrying – What if no one talks to me or who should I talk to?  I was having a break down for no reason because when we got there we had so much fun.  I met several friends.   To this day, I’m still in touch with all of the friends I made at IPOP., I received an award which was a huge surprise, because I was not expecting to get any awards!  My heart almost stopped.  I’ve never won anything before and here I was accepting an award.  Yes!!!Yes!! Thanks to IPOP I had the best time of my life, AND I got to spend time with my mom.  Thanks Again IPOP!

Hi my name is Ally, I attended IPOP 2018 and it was awesome. I had no idea what to expect,… I finally got to go to Vegas and prove myself. I was a small fish in a VERY large ocean of people. I did what I was supposed to and at the end of IPOP, I was awarded Best Actress, Best Monologue and 2nd in commercial acting. I got a ton of callbacks to different agencies. I am in the process of getting signed, … IPOP was a great opportunity to network, meet friends ALL over the world, learn how to strut down a runway and really just let lose and be you. IPOP was a great experience, I’d recommend it to anyone who has a small want to go… honestly in the end it was completely worth it.

Please excuse my inexcusably tardy thank you for the honor to attend iPOP LA this July. Late as I am with this note, I want you to know how very grateful I am for the inspiring experience that iPOP provided. Your support and guidance these past few months has been extremely helpful. The superb coaching made available through JRP Southeast gave me the confidence I needed to obtain the attention of many agents. The insight and advise provided at iPOP proved to be most beneficial, leading to many callbacks with positive outcomes. Your thorough preparation and genuine concern have been greatly appreciated and there’s no doubt that the knowledge I gained, talent I was exposed to, and memories made, will be valuable for years to come. Per your instructions, I have followed up with thank you emails to each callback agent.

Please don’t hesitate to call or email me at anytime if you have questions or concerns. It was an honor to experience iPOP LA with JRP Southeast and I look forward to a continuous dialogue with JRP Southeast.​

Thanks!

My daughter is Risa M… Our newspaper was waiting for her as soon as she arrived back in SA and she has been on several radio stations already. Due to her ongoing work she is well known in SA and has excited so many youngsters. We are busy attending to our call backs and offers Risa says thank you so much.

Thank you for allowing me to go to iPOP! I had a really fun time! I can’t even to wait to go and tell my friends about iPOP! iPOP! was probably the most exciting thing I ever attended and the most fun. I have learned so many things about how to make my acting better. I also made so many new friends there. It was the best once in a lifetime experience I ever had. Many of the kids in my grade, probably my whole school would want to be at iPOP! and have an amazing experience like I did. I hope I get to come to iPOP! and act again and possibly be in the showcase. I really enjoyed the showcase and everything about it. The whole plane ticket, packing, waking up early, and practicing was all worth it. Thank you for helping me complete my passion and DREAM!

I just wanted to thank you for a great iPOP.  Andrew F has already arrived in New York City, and everyone LOVES him! He is loving New York City, all the agents are loving him and we’re super happy! ​Sending a hug from New York!

I signed ASHLEY D from IPOP and sent her in to 20th Century Fox for a new series regular role on MODERN FAMILY. She is going back again this wed at 2pm for all the producers!! Her family is thrilled! Thank you again for all that you do!
Sending a hug from New York!

How are you? I just wanted to thank you for inviting me to the IPOP Event. You did a great job! I found some great models and am waiting to finalize things. I also wanted you to know that when I returned to Scottsdale I received a confirmation for placement in Singapore for Michelle Kessler (the model I found last year at IPOP). I am sure she will be working in Asia for the next three summers.

The beauty I find at the iPOP! Conventions is how well prepared the participants are. They are schooled and appointed as to be ready to hit the ground running. Many times we actually submit the kids we meet at iPOP! within a week of returning back to NY. And they book. The convention itself is so well organized that you feel you are being handled as a celebrity. Something my clients get but usually not the agents. I really am amazed as to how the Ipop staff are able to anticipate and orchestrate everything we need to make it a successful scout.

My daughter posted that it was the best week of her life! She got 23 call backs and received several offers for representation. After being welcomed to CESD talent agency she was immediately set up with casting profiles and was receiving audition notices immediately. Without iPOP!, this would have never been possible. It is my daughters dream come true. Thank you for the memories and hope to see you someday again soon.
