The Applause Talent, Applause Rising Talent Showcase, helps adults and youth aspiring to be actors, models, dancers, and singers cut through all of the red-tape in this industry to find healthy success. The goal of our experienced team is to guide talented individuals to the top with integrity, professionalism, and TALENT.
We hold many auditions throughout the year all across the United States. We welcome talented individuals whether they are models, singers, actors, or dancers. These are one-day auditions hosted by a premier talent scout from Applause Talent.
All callbacks meet with the Talent Scout and team to learn about the process leading up to the International Show they have been invited to participate in. We post our audition events to Facebook and Instagram as well as our website to ensure you are kept up to date.
All of the auditions, education, and hard work lead up to a five-day International Show produced by Applause Talent, Applause Rising Talent Showcase. We have two shows a year, Summer and Winter, in hot locations like New York, Orlando, and Los Angeles. Our participants say that this show gives them the real “Hollywood Experience”.

I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you to Kim Myers for the opportunity you gave my son, Caleb, & I to be a part of Arts Orlando 2018. Also to Brooke Ashly Smith for being an outstanding coach & the rest of the team for all the hard work it takes to bring such a great show together! After much anxiety & fear of the unknown as we prep...
We were extremely satisfied with the quality of the event and the workshops that we attended at Arts International Showcase in Orlando 2018! It is a safe and outstanding experience that offers numerous potential avenues into the show business/modeling/etc.. arena. I would highly recommend it without any hesitation to anyone! Thank You Kim & Rick...
Thank you to Kim and Rick Myers for giving Marcy a callback and inviting her to the ARTs International showcase. She went twice - once to L.A. and once to Orlando. The family-like atmosphere was positive and uplifting. The workshops for both parents and the talent were a treasure trove of information educating us about how the industry works and...
I attended the Arts showcase in December 2012 and I had the time of my life. It was such and amazing experience. I grew up in a small town so I was fairly shy. It gave me such a great opportunity to be right in front of the agents and get a real shot at making an impression on them. I was so blessed to actually receive 5 callbacks from different...
My daughter, Ashley Puzemis, has been doing acting for a few years now and once we committed to this journey we haven't stopped since. Before, we would drive all over Michigan for jobs and short films and anything that would help for resume building, but knew Los Angeles is where we needed to be. It wasn't until last fall in 2017 when we attende...
My daughter Selah attended the arts after receiving a partial scholarship from a dance competition (Cru Dance). It was a great experience for her being able to not only dance but explore other things she was interested in like acting and modeling. Being a relative novice in the industry at that time it was an invaluable experience to showcase fo...
My daughter was scouted by Kim Myers and Linda Motznik of the ARTS back in 2010. Taylor Elizabeth is now an international model with multiple agencies around the world. This is the best platform to introduce your child to the industry. It puts them in front of so many agents/agencies all in one place! We would have had no idea how to navigate th...
This was our first experience going to a showcase and it was awesome. It was like nothing we have ever experienced. My son was scouted by Kim Myers and he loved it. As a family we learned, played, performed and met a number of people in the industry. The staff was educated and super nice. This was an unforgettable experience. So ready to do it a...
This is a great platform for established and aspiring actors, models, dancers and singers looking for international education, experience and exposure. The ARTS gave me an opportunity to attend international workshops and seminars by international agents, directors, managers, etc.
...As an agent for both Models and Actors, I have been attending THE ARTS INTERNATIONAL conventions for more than 5 years. I keep going back because I ALWAYS find great kids and young talent! I still represent talent I found 5 years ago, and found someone last year that is coming to NY in a week for the rest of the summer! We found a 17 year old ac...
I am soooo very happy I decided to go to the ARTS! This was the most positive atmosphere I have ever been in. Not only did the ARTS Staff encourage us to do our best, they also encouraged us to be ourselves. So much focus was on our individuality instead of trying to be like everyone else. This experience changed my life. My confidence has been ...
Where do all the years go? Seriously, time flies and the kids grow up, but I know I can always find new great talent at ARTS International. With an emphasis on education and training, it's refreshing and always positive to attend and discover talented actors and actresses from all over the country. August 2017 is right around the corner and I'm ...
I auditioned originally for acting and Kim scouted me for modeling and the rest is history. That same year I was signed on with an agency in Chicago and had meetings with agents in NYC, LA, Chicago, and more! Kim has gotten me meetings with New York Model Management (a huge name btw). If you want to break into the business THIS is the way!!!
...I took my son 2 yrs ago and he came out of it with more confidence, bigger dreams and met some friends he continues to talk to. This is the best kid friendly atmosphere! Something , as a mother, I was extremely worried about. Wouldn't have changed this opportunity for the world
...Being one of the professional speakers at the ARTS International for many years has always been an honor for me. Kim Myers and her staff have continuously produced excellent events that are organized and professionally run. I always leave having scouted some of the best talent in the world as well as networked with the other prestigious agents a...
The ARTS is a super awesome performing arts platform for children and adults alike. Whether it be a confidence builder, career direction decision or a career launch you are after, the ARTS stage is it. I had all 4 of my daughters perform in various art forms, they loved every minute of it from making friends from different countries to learning ...
The ARTs Team is nothing but spectacular. They help to build confidence in these people, whether a child or an adult. They help them to educate themselves in a industry where it is not always safe, people are not always honest and it is very fast paced. They teach you to be you and reach for your dream because it is possible! The showcase and se...
I started my ARTS Journey when I was 16 years old as an aspiring dancer. Not only did Kim Myers and everyone on the ARTS team make me feel at home - they opened my eyes to a whole new world I had never seen before! Coming from a background in the competitive dance world; I had no experience in acting and modeling. Everyone at the ARTS was always...
At 10 years old, our son had recently given up on sports as he wasn't really interested in them and didn't really feel like he fit in with those kids. He had taken a liking to singing, dancing and acting but as a 10 year-old boy, that was not easy. Other kids his age didn't really understand his passion for these things and he struggled to find ...
The ARTS is a fantastic launching pad! A great experience for you to gain knowledge of the industry, explore your talents and abilities and realistically allow you to DREAM BIG! Everyone at the ARTS is professional, kind and there to help you be the best you can be. They give you opportunities to meet with the right people, help you move forward...
I discovered the ARTS in 2012 attending as a parent from Australia. I was overwhelmed by the level of industry access, the quality of the introductions and the integrity of owners Kim and Rick Myers. To say the experience was life changing is an understatement. That week completely rocked our world and nothing will ever be the same again. At the...
The ARTS is an excellent way to explore your interest in a career in the performing arts. The entire ARAtS team is dedicated, caring and informative. They'll guide you every step of the way. You will be thoroughly prepared to showcase your talent and passion for performing - that's where your education REALLY begins! You'll have exposure and clo...
I met Kim and the ARTS staff in the spring of 2008. Terrified that I was making a mistake driving to Ohio for some "convention" thinking what could this possibly do for me. If it does nothing else the exposure, confidence, and education it gives is worth it. I didn't meet a manager/agent there, but met a woman, who put me in touch with someone i...
I attended the ARTS back in 2013 and it was a grand experience! I was very new to the industry at that time and was skeptical as any young person, parent and aspiring artist should be and I can guarantee you it was the best decision I've ever made! The ARTS felt like home. Kim and Linda and her whole team were so encouraging, uplifting and fun. ...
What an EXPERIENCE! Kim and her group are AMAZING! They are great! Watching their reactions during performances, they applaud louder than anyone, because they have coached, and want to see you do well. They are quick to congratulate and they want to hear about your successes.The people invited to attend are great performers, and great people. My...
If you're looking to get into the industry this is the place you need to come to. The staff are amazing, professional and caring, you couldn’t ask for a better group of people to represent our industry. Kevin, Major Models
...I met Mrs Kim in 2017 in Terre Haute, IN. I was On my way to work and heard about this audition for singing, dancing, and even commercials. I thought I was dreaming, maybe I was. I decided to take further action and audition. I was accepted to the ARTS, and made tons of connections. Still very greatful for that opportunity and I had one of the b...
Memories keep popping up so I have to talk about this. I am a 2017 Arts International Alumni Orlando and I can't be that it's alreay been a year I can't believe it’s been a whole year since the Arts aka the best week of my whole life. I think about my experience every single day. I met so many amazing friends in which I talk to every single day ...
When my son was eight years old, he attended the ARTS in Orlando, (after several months of a serious ARTS preparation program). He was recruited by two agents and one manager. These are people my son wouldn’t have been exposed to without Kim Myers and her ARTS program. Thanks to the ARTS exposure, my son has been on Broadway, in a movie, in tv s...
Greatest experience of my life. Having the opportunity to not only showcase your talent to reputable agents and casting directors, but also be a part of a huge family that networks and looks after each other is an incredible thing. Everyone who is a part of the team that makes dreams into a reality is nothing short of amazing. Getting to know Ki...
I have never seen a place so profetional and loving as the ARTS. i recommend this opportunity to anyone that wants to persue there dream.
...I have learned so much from the arts and if I didn't go I would've missed out on so much important information about the industry. I had the initial mindset of "okay this is a competition I need to get as much callbacks as possible" but it's so much more than that. I learned about taxes when you get paid for bookings and how to build a relations...
We love the ARTS and are very blessed to be able to be a part of them. We learned a lot and had great opportunities through Kim, Rick and the whole team! We just got done with the Orlando showcase and now looking forward to Hollywood in Dec. Hope to see you there!
...The ARTS was an amazing experience! We met some forever friends and great contacts we would have never had the opportunity without Kim Myers giving us this chance. My 9 year old daughter auditioned for modeling and acting. We received Call Backs from some great agents who gave her very positive feedback on how to continue in the business and the...
Dear Kim, I just wanted to thank you and Rick from the bottom of my heart for the mind blowing showcase and opportunity you gave each and everyone of us in Orlando. I knew it was going to be amazing, but it really exceeded every expectation I had. You both are angels straight from God and it shows in your work, your humanity and your personaliti...
