How do I recruit 'lers/'lees for a video

[duannewalton]

Where do I look? How do I approach them? Etc.

I sometimes use model agencies. And sometimes I find them through websites where models can post ads for themselves. But, at least here in NL, it's a bitch to find a model that is 1. interested, 2. reliable, 3. ticklish, and 4. at least okay-looking.

I guess you gotta prepare yourself for rejections and being accepted. And I would say that 90% of the time you are gunna get rejected. Maybe don't ask for nudity but maybe bring it up later on at the time and throw in a few extra $$$$?

Finding lee's is difficult. Try college campuses, too.

Finding Lers is easy. Ask me. I'm very photogenic, a great acter, and I love to tickle! I'll even work for free (except travel expenses...that's all I ask)!

Hello...
I guesst you are right. It's easier to find the tickl-er than a tickliss...
for example, .... Iam the tickle-er. for your consideration, Iam into bdsm / tickling. 1997 it was my first experience in bdsm scenes as a male dom. 2002 it was my first experience in tickling scenes with my girl friend. I consider my self as the tickle-er ever since. I live in Jakarta - Indonesia, Iam Indonesian.
It's my pleasure to find this community for the best.

Regard's

It's not easy, I have tried many times with no result. My experience is that it can be easier to look for a girl for softcore photo and video shots and in step 2 ask her if it's ok for you to tickle her. Many girls finds the tickling part ok once you get to know her... but at first it can seem a bit wacko and scary I think.

Good luck

Post an ad and definitely offer a little $$$. Craig's List (www.craigslist.org) has been pretty successful for me in finding foot models for photography. I've also seen ads looking for models to participate in tickling videos. I don't know how successful they were or weren't, but I've seen them.

This has got to be the most logical post in the history of the TMF. :2poke:

Oh crap, my sarcasm system is still on...I keep forgetting to shut it off.

Ok, done... no, not a good idea. :P

I have spent a year trying to find a decent way to recruit ticklees for a vid.
I finally had some success by joining up to a model agency site for a month, it cost me $10 and I had a few restrictions, like I couldn't do specific fetish model searches, but the models are clearly posted for doing fetish work. The rules specify you can only message them about doing fetish work, nude or otherwise if they are posted as open to such work. Over the month I posted out about 35 msgs, and I explain 100% what is involved. I heard back from about 10, and have had 3 that are seriously interested and I have something arranged with. The site is www.onemodelplace.com.

Get an attourney to draw up a standard Release Form for the models to sign. Make sure you get a Business License and fully report your net income when filing your tax return, having of course made the correct estimated state and federal tax deposits. These legalities are of course in addition to getting your video equipment, professional lighting, and your website and/or advertising fees. Once you have your video filmed, edited and produced, then you'll only be competing against the hoards of Tickling media already saturating the market. I do wish you luck, but finding a ticklish model is only a small piece of the puzzle.

[AffectionateDan]

Lots of good information shared here!

[nytoetapper]

Try posting on Craig's list... you may get a lot of strange replies, but at least it's free and has a big viewership.

[bowl101]

i have some very attractive single girl friends who would be excellent models. any advice on how to go about asking them to participate?

[manon_earth42]

When The Laugher, Doc Sockhead, and I teamed up we used 3 methods.

1) Post adds that state exactly what you're looking for, no suprises.
2) Post in the community forums. Obviously you have a wealth of lers & lees in the community to draw upon so this forum is a logical start.
3) Personal friends that are aware of your tickle "thing" and are not going to run away screaming.

Your success will likely determined by luck and or tenacity! Have fun!

How do I get a business licencse? What kind does a TK producer need. What are the fees?

i'd be a lee in a heart beat:blaugh: :blaugh: :blaugh:

Sites where you can find models:

www.onemodelplace.com
www.modelmayhem.com
www.sexyjobs.com
www.glamourmodels.com

Post ads to say you're looking for models. Try Myspace, Craigslist, etc. Or join some of the portfolio sites as a producer.

As far as real life, strippers are easy to approach about this kind of thing. Make business cards and hand them to strippers. Also, Hooters waitresses. Anyplace where girls are seemingly open-minded. :)

Agencies, in my opinion, are a waste of money and hassle for this kind of stuff. Unless you're shooting hardcore sex along with the tickling, you shouldn't have any trouble finding tons of independent models to choose from.

[AddieJuniper]

A little money? Hmm... I'm a model and, in my opinion, a ticklish, pretty girl who shows up and does a good job should receive at least 50/hr for clothed tickling, 75/hr for topless tickling and 100/hr for full nude tickling. Maybe you can find girls who will do it for less, if they are not models, just girls you may know.

You don't need an attorney to do your model release. Just google, "model release" and you'll get a million good ones you can just print out.
You don't have to get a business license, unless you want to be an LLC or a corporation. You can just file your earnings with your personal income taxes.

Yup, it's EXPENSIVE in the beginning!

I'd be happy to work with you, as well as any other new tickle producers.
You can email me at addiejuniper@yahoo.com

Thanks!

I guess things are a little easier to set up than I thought, although the money remains an interesting obstacle.

This is just a fountain of information, and thanks to those who provided their insight.

[tickleshotel]

Duannewalton, I just moved to ILLinois and I am a lee and I;d like to chat with you about being a potential lee in a video..

[Horatio]

Another idea (with less startup costs) would be to negotiate a distribution deal with an already operating entity. You shoot your dream video, and if they like it and agree to market it, they will charge you a fee or a percentage (or both) to distribute it. Or they may buy it from you (less likely).

That's what I would do if I were getting into it.

EDIT: Just looked at a reply from Addie Juniper above. She seems helpful - I would wager that she would discuss some kind of arrangement with you. ;)
