Has anyone heard of any of these agencies!? I have headshots and a resume and my photographer gave me a list of agencies!.!.!.!. i dont know which is the best one!.!.!.
they are: Stellar Talent The Green Agency Martin and Donalds Boca Talent The Talent Group Famous Faces Alliance Group please help me get started!? Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: One of the answers to your question is completely wrong!. Agents should not be paid for representation!. Agents, however, should not be expected to pay any out-of-pocket expenses to promote and market the talent!. If you need head shots!.!.!.they may be able to recommend someone!.!.!.but you need to interview the photographer and pay for the photographer's services!. If you need training!.!.!.they may be able to recommend acting coaches!.!.!.but you need to select the coach and pay for the training!. Agents in LA can not provide training, it's the law!.!.!.they can recommend coaches!. Finally!.!.!.many of the top modeling agencies will "upfront" costs of test pictures, living expenses, and training!.!.!.which you will eventually have to pay back!. also, if an agency uses a website to promote it's talent to clients, don't be offended if they suggest you place your picture on the site!.!.!.for a cost!. It is your job to decide the value!. It is also your job to provide your agent with top quality marketing tools (head shot, resume, etc!.) Www@QuestionHome@Com You should never have to pay an agency, they should have to front all of your expenses related like more photos and even possibly acting classes in some cases!. They get their pay from the commission they take from getting you work!. I have heard of famous faces I think!.!.!. and I have heard of the alliance group!. You should apply to all of the agencies because it may be hard to get one!. Www@QuestionHome@Com agents are not necessarily expensive!. you pay them 10 to 15% of your salary AFTER you get paid!. you ONLY pay them AFTER you get the job and AFTER you get paid!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I can personally vouch for Boca Talent!. They're a legit, SAG-affiliated agency!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
