Am I allowed to be with other agencies?

​

You will be given a choice of signing an exclusive or non- exclusive agreement. Most models and talent opt for a non-exclusive contract, and it depends on your market and the division you are listed under. Most fashion divisions are somewhat exclusive in each market. If you are a commercial or promotions model or an actor/actress, you are allowed to be with more then one agency as long as it is a non- exclusive contract with each.

​

What opportunities might I expect to get from a full service agency?

​

A full service model and talent agency books models and talent for a variety of jobs such as print, runway, on- camera, TV, commercial, industrial film, and promotional work.

​

​

Am I guaranteed work?

​

No. In this industry the client has the right to select the model or talent that best suits the job. Agents can suggest whom they feel might be the best selection for a specific job; however, the client makes the final selection.

What will I need to be marketed?

​

The Agency will decide which division you will be placed in and then help you develop your marketing tools. For most modeling work you will need photos in a portfolio that show a variety of looks and a composite card. For acting and on camera TV work, you will need an 8 x 10 commercial headshot and resume. In both cases an on-line presence can be very beneficial and clients increasingly rely on finding models and talent using on-line portfolios (your Agency can show you how to obtain this)

​

Is there work on the weekends?

​

Yes for events most of them are on the weekends. There is limited work on the weekends. Promotional work, fashion shows and hair shows are often booked on weekends. Print and on camera TV work takes place Monday-Friday 9-5pm.
