Tips For Attracting The Right Talent Agent

If you’re looking to start an acting career or break into the entertainment industry as a professional singer, dancer, or another kind of performer, the first step is building your brand, building your career, and then attracting representation that can help get you into those doors that seem elusive for so many. The top talent agencies have years of experience helping aspiring performers find their big break in show business, and they are constantly sending talent scouts out to discover young people with a passion for the performing arts. Reach out to our artist and branding agency locations in Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles, or New York, and scroll down for some tips to help you find the right talent agent.

Look At Credentials

Not all talent agencies are created equal — in fact, many are scams. That’s why it’s so important to look at the credentials of several different casting agencies before going with the first talent agent that approaches you. The top talent agencies will have been involved in major projects, such as red carpet events, blockbuster movies, and award-winning TV shows, as well as having promoted successful musicians and performers.

At Industry AXS, our owners have gone on tour with The Temptations, NSYNC, Ricky Martin, Clay Walker, and many others. We’ve also received two Emmy nominations over the years, and we’ve contributed to a number of Grammy and Oscar-nominated projects as well, landing us on the Red Carpet in London for the James Bond film Spectre. The list goes on, but what really sets talent agencies like ours apart from the rest is our credentials and the success we’ve found since incorporating Round Rock Productions, Artista Marketing Solutions, DanceStaff, and Tony Smith Productions into our business.

Get Recommendations

Given that the best talent agencies have an established reputation in the industry, they’ll also be willing to provide testimonials and recommendations from successful actors, dancers, and singers they’ve represented in the past. Networking is key in show business, and getting recommendations about different casting agencies allows you to decide which one will be able to help you the most. Before you decide on a talent agency, reach out to other industry professionals to see what they have to say about them. If they have nothing but glowing reviews, you’ll feel more confident about your decision.

Assess The Actor-Agent Relationship

Another tip to consider when choosing a teens’ and kids’ talent agency is assessing how the acting agent treats the performers. One of the main reasons parents are hesitant to allow their kids to pursue a career in teen or child acting is because they are afraid that they will be objectified or have to sacrifice their childhood for the stage. Though this is a valid concern, the top talent agencies do everything in their power to avoid this while fostering healthy relationships with aspiring actors, singers, and dancers. At Adams Davy, our talent agents know the value of a normal childhood and are respectful of our clients’ lives outside work. We value trust, loyalty, communication, and honesty, and you can expect nothing less when you partner with us.
