Dear Alycia Kaback and Staff,
I am not one for writing letters, but my most recent experience at the VIP Talent Connect was worthy of doing so.
The VIP Talent Connect Summit was a “Great” experience for me and anyone who wants to make a difference in their lives and others. I was deeply touched by so many amazing, talented and established entertainers who came together as one big family to shape and mold the up and coming entertainers of tomorrow.
Throughout the seminar there were several brilliant quotes stated such as: “stand out from the rest, be natural, be real”, “don’t give up, be prepared”, “be authentic, and make it your own”. The quote that caught my attention and stuck with me was “take risk, there is more than one way to get in”, “NO DON’T ALWAYS MEAN NO, JUST NOT NOW”, was stated by: Mr. Stephen DeAngelelis, who has cast over 3000 network television and radio commercial.
The seminar was very informative, and uplifting. I recommend the VIP Talent Connect to anyone who dares to take a bite of success, it was truly amazing!!!
Thank You,
Kim MR

Aly,
I can never repay you for the opportunity you gave me by allowing be to attend the VIP summit in NY. Mike, you looked beyond my situation and recognized the talent in me and helped make it possible for me to be apart of the summit. I truly was in my element throughout the whole event, I got to meet the top decision makers in the industry that I have wanted to meet my whole career. VIP Talent Connect is such a great vehicle for entertainers to be recognized, and had to have been created by someone with great passion and love for entertainers. So again I say thank you to the beautiful visionary, Aly, and the VIP management and staff who were so helpful and respectful to all of us no matter where we are in our careers, we were treated with the same respect. I know this movement will make a big difference in my life and career. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Sarah Grgic was born on February 23, 1987 in New Jersey. In 1986, her mother and father decided to fly from Croatia to America to follow the “American Dream”. Sarah started kindergarten not knowing a word of the English language. Her parents were devoted in aiding her to excel in all her academics. She graduated school with high honors and attended the Chemistry NJ Olympics in which she won first place. Sarah loves to learn and gain knowledge. Always being a perseverant and diligent individual, Sarah decided to strive for her passion as an actress. In high school she performed in comedy plays and took a prestigious Shakespearean course in college. After she graduated school, a networking company known as VIP Talent Connect in Pennsylvania found Sarah and introduced her to many directors and producers. Tim Greene, a well known writer/director/producer saw Sarah’s talents and flew her to LA where she was seen in newspapers and heard on the radio. Walking on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, it was there that she realized that her pursuing an acting career wasn’t just a dream, but a reality. She started as an extra in many films and television series. You can see Sarah featured in motion pictures “Just Wright” with Queen Latifah, and lead roles in NYU film “Muse”, Twiintone Entertainment “Between Us, Love” as Cerina a nurse, and comedic hair dresser of a commercial for Adobe Photoshop Spec. Also, Sarah works with John Greff and can be seen as different characters on television series “Octo and Patrushka’s Moonlit Cinema”. Sarah loves comedy and now gets to play a comedic role as Kendra in Imagine Frank. She continues to follow her dreams as she aspires to make it in the entertainment industry with the hopes of one day being nominated for an Oscar Award.

Angelea Preston shares her success story in a post by blogger Tunya Griffin.
As one of America’s Next Top Models, Angelea has been able to walk through many doors. In fact, she says,“my story is a one in a million chance of a lifetime.” I was awkward and lived in an urban area. Many boys called me a giraffe or bean stalk and it played on my insecurity. I knew I could be a model, but I was insecure because of my looks and my social circle, but my family encouraged me. When I was chosen to be on America’s Next Top Model, boys’ perceptions about me started to change. I started to look ‘fly’ to them. Now I don’t care about what other people’s opinions are about me. I am a free spirit. As I started to change and develop into a fresh and fly young woman, the boys started to come on to me.” Then, Angelea started to noticed she was indeed fly which ultimately gave her the confidence she needed to be successful. She does not care about what other people’s opinions are. She insists that you must be a free spirit and you don’t need anyone’s attention to feel good about yourself. Her philosophy quickly became,
“If you want to fly with eagles, do not fly with ducks!”

Angelea was born and raised in Buffalo, NY. She applied to Cycle 12 but failed to make in into the house when she butted heads with Sandra Nyanchoka. On Cycle 12 there was more info about her life—it was revealed she had a daughter, who eventually died and she also talked about how she slept in the Port Authority bathroom stall to make her call back for the show.
After completing anger management she was brought back in Cycle 14. The other girls gossiped about her and tried to start problems as Angelea brought in the infamous “Bitch Please Look” against Brenda and argumed with Alasia. Despite the controversy she was a strong competitor from the start and impresseding the judges with her ability to look soft in all her photos, even though she comes off tough during panel. Her overall performance was incredibly strong; however, she was eliminated in episode 10 in a double elimination with Alexandra Underwood. Angelea is now signed and working under Colby Models.
