How do I know if an Agency is reputable?

Be a smart consumer! Find out how long the agency has been in business. What is the background of the Agency Owner? Do they have authentic and verifiable industry experience? Does the Agency have success stories to back them up? Does the agency represent working models and actors? Do the Models/Talent that belong to the agency work for prestigious and recognizable clients?

It is important to note that a reputable agency will not guarantee or promise you success or work. No one can look at you and "guarantee" you will be a top model or actor. They can tell you that you have all the potential to make it to the top but it is really up to YOU!

Be weary of travelling searches that go from town to town therefore are not accountable to you because they are not accessible and after being in your town, they are off to the next! Also, be weary of agencies that are affiliated with travelling searches that promise you the sun, the moon & the stars and tell you that all you need to do is a photoshoot and comp cards and you pay inflated prices for these items!

Just like there are no guarantees that an athlete will make it to the Olympics, there is no guarantee that an actor will work or a model will be successful and reach Supermodel status! An honest agent or scout will do their job which is to assist you in getting started, provide guidance, direction and ultimately once you are ready, will market and promote you to their industry contacts.
