Top notch legitimate commercial, print, voice-over, hosting, and theatrical agency. They are the…read morereal deal. They expect professionalism, appropriate training, genuine talent, hard work, and commitments. The Hollywood industry takes hard work and time. My daughter was selected into an acting school and trained hard for 2 years. BBA signed her for commercial and modeling. She has booked several major commercial/print jobs including Wal-Mart, East West Bank, Merck (Pharmaceutical), and Forest Lawn Memorial Park (where Walt Disney and Michael Jackson rest eternally). Another girl from BBA booked Mercedes-Benz. My daughter also had auditioned for Disney, Nerf, any many other major brands/companies. BBA staff are cordial and professional once you make it through their doors. They have entertainment attorneys, and will guide you on casting, headshots, auditions, callbacks, Coogan (blocked trust) accounts, and SAG-AFTRA/union decisions. You know an agency is legitimate when they represent you legally and only take commission from your earnings. They do not charge up front for their services. We had auditions lined up for other reputable agencies in the LA area. We were not sure which agency to sign up for, but are happy with BBA. During auditions for major projects (Disney, Honda, etc.) we run into girls from the other agencies. So I think once you have a reputable agency, you are going to get sent to the big auditions if they trust you. They say it takes 30 auditions to book 1 role in the LA industry. We have found that it takes less than that, but you do have to go to a lot of auditions and call backs. Sometimes, our daughter sees a commercial she auditioned for on TV - only they decided to have adults instead of kids. Sometimes your kid might do very well during an audition, but the actors who book the parent role (for example) do not match your daughter's looks. There are many factors that play a role in whether or not you book a role. The agency is only one factor. Of course, you want a good agency because there is business and politics involved in dealing with casting directors. Your kid should also actively practice acting, modeling, dancing, or whatever skill they have. Acting is no different than any other talent. You have to really practice and have great teachers/mentors and gain experience slowly to be great at it. Being cute and able to dance well, or having a great personality, is only the start of a journey. If you make a little money and have fun, then it is all worth it. Commercial modeling and acting is an experience few will ever have. Even auditions are fun. Your child will learn to maintain poise when being interviewed (because that is essentially what an audition is). Not everyone will make a million dollars and be world famous; however, if you can make several thousand dollars and have an experience of a life time, then it is all worthwhile.
