Locate The Principal Actor Casting Agency

By Judy Soto

Do you need to find the best talent agency to help you when you've decided to really take your acting career or modeling career seriously?

Do the owners invest their industry talents and experience in evaluating, educating and promoting everyday people into the very best models and actors? Are you connected with all the best and top-notch production companies, casting directors and advertising companies that can utilize your best talents?

As far as acting goes, owners and staff background should be quite extensive. Have they studied for four years at trade schools like the Lee Strasberg Theater Institute and can they say they later worked as an agent for places like 4B Talent in NYC and later as head booking agent for say the commercial print and fashion divisions of Foster Fell Model & Talent Agency. They must have also appeared in many films, TV commercials and theatrical productions.

Now comes the fun part: what kind of work do you want to do? You want to walk the runway? Appear in print ads? Star in a commercial? Or go to television and film. That sort of work is everywhere, actually. In Southern Florida, for example, USA Network is filming new seasons of its hit "Burn Notice" and Fox is producing "The Glades."

And should you doubt that you've got the right look for modeling or acting, fear not: Often the best face for a job is the one you see every day. Agencies know that being exotic is not necessarily the best bet, and that anyone, of all ages, professional and non, can be just what a casting director is looking for.

Are they a commission-based agency with no registration fee? If so and you'd like to have the opportunity to work with them, it should be as easy as filling out a registration form and seeing if you're a good match. However, make sure you know that they expect you to have a positive mental attitude, a willingness to work long hours on casting calls without complaint and the ability to work flexible hours.
