“Peter Sklar’s most recent visit to Chicago this summer was an incredible event with almost 700 people in attendance... Judging from the many enthusiastic letters and telephone calls we’ve received, his visit was a huge success. It should also be noted that as a result, several young people went on to be offered professional representation in New York for national commercials, television, film, and Broadway. We’re very pleased…”

“Peter Sklar addressed an attentive audience during a recent information session held at a Middle Village dance studio. Sklar, who has spent two decades as an independent talent scout, explained that what makes certain youngsters stand out is an ability to ‘be who you are when placed in a situation created by a writer, choreographer or lyricist…you have to be real…you must know who you are.’ Sklar also cautioned parents about scams in the business. ‘Many rip-offs seem to center on portfolios (and classes) for modeling schools.’ By evening’s end, Sklar had touched on issues ranging from nutrition and eating disorders to learning disabilities and talent search scams. He also uncovered about a dozen youngsters with talent worth exploring.”
