Fame & fortune is just a click away

DIRECT LINE - Boy Abunda -

It’s Friendster, YouTube and Google all rolled into one, and if you’re the right candidate for a modeling stint or a showbiz project, the on-line community of talents could just be your ticket to stardom. Strut your way to prominence with just a few clicks through MyFameandFortune (www.myfameandfortune.com), an on-line community of talents that lets you upload your portfolio in a snap and takes you closer to getting that dream project.

MyFameandFortune’s cutting-edge and interactive technology, which is the first of its kind in Asia, incorporates a database and a communication platform in collaboration with some top modeling/talent agencies here and abroad. If you’re signed up and you’re the perfect match for a project, then fame and fortune are within your reach. MyFameandFortune connects you to the biggies in the realms of modeling and showbiz, and in effect, opens doors of endless opportunities.

“One of the most difficult things to do in the modeling world is to let the industry know that you exist, how you look like, what your talents are, as well as what you have done and can do,” shares Victor Valbuena, professional model and president of Fame and Fortune Management Corp. “MyFameandFortune was developed to cover all these, with the aim of helping any individual wanting to become a model.”

The site was developed by the dynamic group of visionaries in the entertainment and modeling world including Valbuena, marketing whiz Antonio Valdes, Zeus Librojo and techie Don Alonso to serve as a comprehensive program to help you jumpstart your dream of becoming a model or a talent.

The on-line community of talents has a page similar to Friendster, composed of creative and gorgeous individuals such as models, actors, singers, photographers, makeup artists, stylists, fashion designers and several others. On this page, you can develop an on-line portfolio where you can upload several photos and videos of your works and your short profile.

To showcase a member’s past works, the Personal Interactive On-line Portfolio page, which has an interface similar to YouTube’s, lets him upload videos and photos in a jiffy. The site also has a search button that lets an ad agency search for models who fit its client’s specifications. The site makes it easy for anyone looking for a model.

Signing up in the community is easy. To build and maintain your Personal Interactive Online Portfolio and be updated on related activities for one year such as go-sees, auditions, casting calls and job openings, just buy a Start-Up Modeling Kit for P900 in all LBC outlets nationwide.

If you’re one of the first 300 to sign up in the on-line community, you may even get your portfolio photos and your VTR for free courtesy of industry partner, Digiprint, the undisputed leader in studio photography. Members who sign up later may also get their first studio photos taken in any of the 33 branches of Digiprint for only P100.

Up your chances of being discovered as over 60 of the best and the biggest modeling/talent agencies here and abroad are also part of the extensive network. According to Antonio Valdes, MyFameandFortune’s marketing whiz, these agencies control 90 percent of the industry.

MyFameandFortune has tied up with the leaders in the print industry to help its members who aspire to become a fashion, ramp and glamour model get that much-deserved break through fashion editorials.

Its alliance with the leaders in the TV industry will help would-be commercial models and talented individuals get that much sought after TV exposure. On the other hand, voice and singing talents who are members of the site may clinch a project through its radio partners.

Through solid relationships built with major brands representing various leading products here and abroad, MyFameandFortune seeks to help its members participate in various modeling/talent contests, searches and events.

Antonio says beauty and fashion products may be used to enhance a MyFameandFortune member’s on-line portfolio. “Gadget manufacturers may also market their products by being used as a prop in the model’s pictorials,” he adds. “The list of possibilities is endless.”

“All it takes is for someone to start a spark of light to brighten up the night.” Valbuena says.  “MyFameandFortune gives you all the tools you need to get discovered. The rest is up to you.”

And of course, a lot of prayers always help.
