Verified Reviewer | San Diego, CaliforniaScott does a great job.
My daughter was scouted by Scott when she was 14. We researched his business and decided to sign up.
It seemed expensive at the time, but it wasn't any more than we invested in traveling soccer or all the other activities our children were into. When she started working she made it back in 2 jobs. She worked with Scott fo over 10 years and had a very diverse, fun career while still going to school. She is now a Dr.
And doing very well. I believe the modeling experience helped in all aspects of her life.
Honest Experience
If it werent for Scott Copeland not only would I never have become a model, but I wouldnt be the man I am today. Scotts expertise and management sent me to places I never could have dreamed of.
I cant even keep track of all the amazing companies Ive shot for and its all thanks to him, plain and simple.
Not to mention, I consider him an amazing friend. Im sorry you didnt have a good experience in the modeling industry, but maybe youre placing the blame where it doesnt belong.
User's recommendation: Be fully committed
They’ll just take your money
In order to sign you have to pay a huge amount of money, something like $3,000. After that you may or may not get work, but it’s not guaranteed.
A really good modeling agency would sign you for free. Please look out for yourselves

SCI Talent made me who I am today
I owe my entire modeling career to Scott Copeland International. I was just a young beach boy when Scott scouted me.
Within a couple of weeks he set me up with a photographer for a paid test shoot that was amazing and worth it . Scott sent the photos to Abercrombie and Fitch and they booked me . Since then I have modeled for brands such as Armani, Ferragamo Paul Smith , Levi’s and many others as well as started in Commercials for Lexus , Nintendo, Princess Cruises just to name a few. I am currently with Wilhelmina models in LA, Front Models in Miami and Heroes Models in New York City .
Thank you Scott and the SCI team for everything. Love you guys ️ Ariel Howard
Scott Copeland-my career and experience
I have been signed with Scott for about a year and half now and i've had an amazing experience. Without Scott as my manager I wouldn't be where Im at today.
Since being signed with Scott i've signed with LA models and i am building my career and working to take it to the next level. Scott does as he says and wants you to grow and make something of yourself as much as you do. But it takes hard work and dedication on your end to live and healthy and happy lifestyle by eating healthy and working out.
Every time I have talked or met with Scott in person I have never felt uncomfortable in any way but more of a family. Scott and his team have been amazing to me and i couldn't be more grateful.
Highly Recommend SCI & Scott!
Signing on with Scott Copeland to be my acting and modeling manager 9 years ago was one of the best decisions of my life. Within a week of signing my first contract Scott had representatives from Abercrombie and Fitch flying into his office to meet with me.
He put together a portfolio and comp card that he used to quickly get modeling agents for me in San Diego, Orange County, and LA. It all happened so fast. But the thing I learned most from Scott is that there is no such thing as overnight success. Yes, I landed a $40,000 General Electric commercial less than 2 weeks after moving to LA for my acting career.
Yes, I have shot with some of the worlds top fashion photographers and been featured in magazines like Allure and Interview and in ads for companies like Volcom and Patagonia. But it wasn't easy. Scott emphasized from the beginning that it takes hard work and dedication to make it in this industry and he was absolutely right. I auditioned for YEARS before landing my first feature film for the SyFy channel.
And every step of the way Scott was right there, helping me improve and stay focused. Pointing out that I was right where I should be at my stage in my career. Recommending books to read, interviews to watch, actors to follow and study. The only thing more impressive than Scott's connections (and he is connected to many of the top modeling and acting agencies in the word) is his unwavering advice, encouragement, and ability to help you keep everything in perspective.
If you are looking for a get-rich-quick opportunity then do yourself a favor and don't get into modeling or acting.
If you aren't willing to put in the work to get in amazing shape and spend hours and hours studying your craft then don't waste your time or Scott's time. But if you are really serious about getting into this and want someone who will be with you every step of the way, there is nobody I would recommend more highly and with more enthusiasm than Scott Copeland.
Scott Copeland Talent
It's easy for me to see why there are bad reviews on here, I would be pissed too if I lacked the drive and motivation it takes to be a successful model. Scott offers the resources, the knowledge, and the connections to be able to be as successful as YOU want to be.
But just like getting recruited for a sport, a coach isn't going to send someone up to the next level without them first proving themselves dedicated. If he were to send every joe blow who has potential to be a model to his resources, they wouldn't trust him anymore if the kid never actually accessed that potential. He'd lose all credibility. It is a fragile business.
I personally have done great with scott. Relocated to Hawaii, been paid thousands for day shoots, stayed in five star hotels, but this took a lot of time, dedication, excersize, healthy living, skin care, research. I don't advise you to sign if you think scott is going to spoon feed you success. It hurts me to see these sorry *** sore losers trying to tarnish a good man and agent's reputation because they can't admit to themselves that they didn't have what it takes.
Scott has been in the business long enough to have an amazing eye for potential and he'll let you know what to do in order to access all of it. If you've been scouted you're only half way there. Dedicate yourself, listen to the guru (Scott) and the rest will be history. But don't do it unless you know you can.
Or you'll end up like these bad review losers. Spreading negativity and hate to the world.
Scott Copeland is a scam
I had the exact same negative experiences as the posts below, and several uncomfortable experiences with Scott himself. Stay far away from these guys. Hope they get shut down soon.
Scott Copeland Talent Talent Agency Service Review from Bend, Oregon
Paid the $1500 for my daughter as a retainer. We got NOTHING! He is a TOTAL scam...
She only saw him a few times, all he could tell her is get down to a size 26. She's a tall larger bone young girl and he knew this was not possible, Scott took complete advantage of her for his finacial gain.
I have not seen any refund after two years. As a concerned parent, please be advised I would not recommend Scott Copeland unless you can sign without any money down.
Warning, this is a SCAM!

Verified Reviewer | La Jolla, CaliforniaSatisfied Client
My son Jordan has had the pleasure of working with Scott Copeland for over 2 years and has become very successful in both the modeling and acting arenas. Jordan was 16 1/2 when Scott and his associate Martha discovered him at The Del Mar Fair.
Since Jordan was a minor, Scott asked him to have me call his office if interested. I did, we met Scott and the rest is history! Scott's office is located in La Jolla, contrary to the previous mothers statement on this site, Scott does not live in Riverside, nor does he just"visit an office in San Diego!" Scott has had a very reputable agency in La Jolla for many years. He resides very close to his La Jolla office, which makes him readily available for his clients.
Jordan's success in both modeling and acting is a reflection of Scott's knowledge and contacts in the modeling and acting community all over the world. Jordan has modeled in New York , Florida and California. He has modeled for New York Fashion Week, has done runway, print jobs, music videos , tv appearances and commercials. Thanks to Scott Copeland, Jordan has signed with SCI, LA Models, One.1NYC, Wilhemina Miami, Vision LA, San Diego Model Management and Brand Talent.
Jordan also works for one of the top 3 acting agencies in Hollywood! This company represents the likes of Ashton Kutcher, Sophia Vegara, Jeremy Renner, Arianna Grande and Daniel Day Louis. Jordan has also been featured in a movie ! Recently, Jordan auditioned for and was accepted into a prestigious acting school in LA.
All these opportunities are thanks to his manager and mentor , Scott Copeland! Scott has been honest, has used a conservative approach which is very important for minors, attentive, readily available , above board in everything, and nothing but kind, helpful and a friend to Jordan and to me which as an over protective Mom I greatly appreciate. Scott has guided Jordan every step of the way in his endeavors. Jordan always says," I would be no where without Scott!" I honestly cannot say one negative thing about Scott Copeland , his staff , and all the wonderful people Jordan has encountered while working with Scott.
I am proud to say my son Jordan was discovered by Scott scope land and now at age 19, continues to work with him and will do so for many years to come! I highly recommend without hesitation , Scott Copeland Talent if you want to become a model or actor. Scott will go the extra mile to ensure your success!
I am grateful for everything he has done for my son Jordan! Sincerely, Anne Verhoeve, Jamul , CA
Resolved: Loss of $1,500 retainer fee
My child is a minor and was approached in a mall by one of Copeland's young scouts. Not knowing anything about the business my husband handed over the $1,500 and paid $800 for over the computer lessons.
When we stopped the lessons we were told it was a shame because he needed another 7 months of lessons before he was ready for the market. We asked for the money back and someone else replied online saying that it was for photos. That was not true so he just lies and bluffs you off. We never got our $1,500 so will have to pursue it with a lawyer.
NEVER PAY ANY MONEY UPFRONT and contact a contract lawyer before you sign or pay anything. Plus he lives in Riverside and just visits an office in San Diego when he gets a catch.

Preferred solution: Full refund
Scott Copeland Talent
I currently referred a model to Scott Copeland who is becoming very successful. If you do what Scott says and don't gain weight, Scott will introduce you to his top clients.
A lot of his talent has become very successful. And it's not about money with Scott. Rather than have models go to potentially dangerous photographers, Scott gives them loans to shoot with reputable proven professional photographers. The reason I referred Jordan was because I knew of another model that couldn't afford anything and Scott helped her with everything.
She didn't have to pay him back for years until she booked many jobs. If you want to have a good experience, this is a good company to work with.
Scott Copeland Talent Scam
Scott Copeland told me he would be able to book me work for his talent agency. Instead, he charged me a $1500 retainer fee that he would never actually refund to me.
I had to pay an additional $1000 for two photo-shoots and a few hundred for comp cards. After spending all of this money he did not introduce me to a single client. After doing some research I have found a large number of similar experiences from fellow hopeful models and have noted 20+ fake Yelp reviews made for his company. Avoid this place no matter what!!!
It should be shut down for the thousands of dollars they have stolen from hopeful models.
His argument is that it is the model's fault! Interesting argument considering I've signed with two top agencies in NYC ever since my contract ended!

Scott charges a fee for training and for pictures and putting everything together in a package he knows will work for this business. Also his contacts in the business are amazing. My daughter made that fee back in 2-3 jobs once she started working.
My daughter was scouted by Scott yesterday so I am doing my research. Did they ask you to pay Scott's agency directly? Thanks!
No they didn’t
