Talent Trove is an online community that provides talented individuals with a platform to create, upload, and broadcast their talents. The word trove is most commonly used in the term "treasure trove", a large collection of hidden valuables. We value our users and make it our job to give each of these hidden gems a chance to be discovered. Talent Trove helps you gain exposure without spending money, whether you are a professional or amateur. On Talent Trove, you can display your talent without being lost amongst hundreds of random videos. You can share your talent and get meaningful creative feedback from other users. Let Talenttrove.com be your stage; share your talent with the world.

Talent Trove was started under the premise of creating a completely level playing field for everyone. We don't sell advantages, we don't make you wait in lines, we don't ask you to sell anything, there's no catch. We simply offer an open community for people to come together and showcase their talents. Members can find out about important events and resources, meet like-minded people to collaborate and communicate with, and get meaningful creative feedback. Additionally, we provide a platform for people to launch their creative careers by exposing them to the creative community.

Thankfully, yes! Talent Trove relies solely on advertisers to survive, making all of our features 100% free. We firmly believe in creating a completely level playing field for all users.

While we work hard to ensure top-notch performance, some issues may arise. Media-related issues are usually due to high levels of bandwidth consumption, or what we like to call "spikes" in the number of simultaneous users accessing the site. Typically, your options are: be patient, the content should load eventually, or try again later when fewer people are browsing the site. However, if you are having a consistent problem with a particular piece of media, please don't hesitate to report it to our technical staff through the Contact Us page.

Talent Trove feels that talent comes in many different forms. The first talents that come to mind are always singing, dancing, and acting; but we know the world is full of many more. We offer an extensive list of category options, but if you don't find what you are looking for you can submit a new one. If you're curious about what others have to offer in this talent community, check out our categories page and browse for a while.

No plagiarism is allowed anywhere on Talent Trove... EVER! Plagiarism is taking someone else's work and presenting it as if it were your own, whether you mean to or not. Committing plagiarism will result in immediate banning and account termination. Please refer to the Talent Trove Plagiarism Policy. Material that cannot be credited to you as the sole original author is restricted. If you are in a band, dance troupe, or other collective, then that entity and its work can be represented by each of the members. Video-blogging, podcasting, etc. posted under the guise of talent is not allowed. We offer a blog space for posting, but our media is reserved specifically for your talents. Anime Music Videos and videos that contain visual and audio elements that you did not create are not allowed. Even if you created the sequence, the cuts are not your own and neither is the audio. However, music videos featuring your own material, both visual and audio, are allowed and strongly encouraged!

Absolutely! All we ask is that you give credit where credit is due. What is NOT allowed is fraud. Don't cover a song and call it your own, that's illegal no matter what and also a really lame thing to do.

Unlike some sites which undermine the very principle of a level playing field, Talent Trove's home page is entirely user-generated. All featured content is automatically updated based on user-generated responses, rankings, and feedback. You can also send us an e-mail at casting@talenttrove.com and let us know you'd like to be considered for our "Stage of the Day". So work hard and be involved in the site and maybe, just maybe, you'll find yourself on the home page.

While we don't doubt that your friend's video is completely awesome, we only allow original content to be posted. However, we strongly suggest you coerce your friend into creating his or her own account for display of this supposedly awesome video.

Don't panic! We can reset your password. Click on the Forgot Your Password button on the login page and provide us with your e-mail address. A temporary password will be sent to you so you can login and reset your password.

Excellent! We'd love to hear your idea. Go to the Contact Us page and speak your mind.

For the most part, our site is set up to automatically recognize errors and bugs. However, if you do come across an error that isn't being logged by the site, please go to our Contact Us page and send us a description of the error, as well as when and where you encountered it.

Tell them to stop. If that doesn't work, you can easily report users for violations or harassment. Simply click the link Contact Us on the bottom of the page and tell us the problem you're having.

We rely heavily on our user-based flagging of inappropriate content that violates our Terms of Service. All submissions have a helpful "Flag it" link to automatically report it to our staff.

According to our Terms of Service, users under the age of 13 are not allowed on Talent Trove without parental consent. This is a safety and security measure to protect us, and more importantly, our users from scams, ad-bots, online predators, etc. If you suspect that a user is underage and does not have parental consent, or is not a legitimate user, we ask that you click the "Report User" link on their profile and follow the appropriate steps to file the report properly. Thanks.

We hope there is no reason for you to do this, however, if you still would like to deactivate your account, you can click here to do so. Keep in mind all of your content, settings, and information will be lost and cannot be recovered. Deactivation is final and cannot be reversed, although you are always welcome to re-register with a different e-mail should you decide to come back one day.

Unfortunately, we do not currently have an active API. In the future we fully intend to provide a powerful API that will allow third-party developers to add new functionality to our site. Stay tuned!

Please register for an account to gain access to the entire universe of Talent Trove's talent. We are working on different account types for different types of users. Stay tuned!
