Finding an Agent
|
Every profession attracts its share of less-than-honest people and the entertainment industry is certainly no exception. So, it is important to take your time when choosing a Talent Agent. Always ask around, do your homework and investigate BEFORE you sign with an agent. You can start by checking out some of the Talent Agents listed on our website.
Here are some things to remember
Here are some quick things to watch out for if you're looking for an agent:
1. Real agents don't guarantee work if you sign on with them.
2. Real agents don't require you to buy services from affiliated photo studios, training schools or video producers.
3. Real agents don't advertise or hand out leaflets.
4. Real agents make money if you make money - they don't charge you high fees if you're not working..
Any agent who asks you for money up front or for 'an audition' should probably be avoided.
To make contact with an agency, you'll need a typed resume and a current photo, along with a cover letter stating that you are seeking representation for your child. The resume should include height, weight, hair and eye color and date of birth. List any school plays they have participated in, drama courses or extra-curricular activities, special skills, sports, talents, etc. Don't worry if it looks skimpy. No one expects a kid to have an extensive list of credits to their name. Mail or drop off the package to the agency and follow up with a phone call.
