I have had such a pleasant experience with this agency so far! My daughter is 2 now and has been…read morewith this agency since she was an infant. They are so nice there and very reputable. The kids agents are super helpful and go through everything with you, answering any questions. They are no pressure and advise you to go home and think about things before you sign with them. They have so much work going through that agency. My daughter goes out regularly for castings with them and they remember you when you talk to them on the phone. It's a nice personal touch. They let us know right away when they are running low on photos or to update her work permit, or anything else. My first time there, my daughter was probably 6 months old and the agent let me change her diaper right there. Unfortunately my daughter started crying like crazy but her agent came right over and started playing with her again and my daughter stopped crying. Such a great group of folks there. I definitely recommend them to anyone.

Never once has anyone at the agency insisted I take classes with them--I've never even HEARD of them offering classes, workshops maybe but classes?--and yes they have a "headshots deal" with a photographer but they NEVER force anyone to do it. Veva, Lauren, and the rest of the gang are professional businesspeople who want the best for their clients and the agency. They send me out on auditions constantly, and they respond promptly and knowledgeably to my questions. If they don't answer instantly, that's okay, cuz I know I'm not their only client! I've loved every second of being their client. Thanks, y'all!

I was signed with Talent Group before going exclusive with my current agent. I really liked all…read morethe employees and received plenty of auditions and bookings. One thing I noticed, however, is if I were working a project with another actor who was signed with my second (and current) agency, their booking rate was higher. At the time that I was signed with them, I think they probably undercut their rates compared to other agencies. While I was with them, I wished they had negotiated higher rates for many of the projects.
