When parents start out looking for a strong agent for their kids it can be very confusing and overwhelming. They see tons of names but have no idea which ones are reputable and which agencies have great agents that really get their clients out on lots of great auditions for Print, TV and Commercial.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well "who is who" in Hollywood is something I have learned over time by watching these agencies in operation for years and years and seeing the results of thousands of children signed to them. As an experienced talent manager I have the authority and inside knowledge to give you the real information. I am going to make it so easy for all of you wonderful, supportive parents. I hear your sign of relief. Your welcome:)
These 20 agencies are ALL reputable with hard working agents who really do a great job for their clients. Understand that Agents all do the same things. 1) They look at the breakdowns every day to see what projects have come out 2)They submit their clients on roles that fit their clients talents and skills. 3) Then they set up appointments with Casting Offices for auditions. 4) They negotiate the deals for whomever books the jobs. They all do the same job. Some do it better than others, but the agents at these agencies do it the best.
That being said, remember Agents are people too and people work harder for people they like. You need to find the people you vibe with, and who like your child. Any of these agencies will do a great job, but it's important that you like the agent and they "get" your child and your child's talent.

Agents from these same agencies are invited to showcases that charge $2,000 - $17,000. Agents and agenices have no idea what these companies charge. I do because every time I attend one I pull the parents aside and ask what they spent to be there. They usually tell me in a quiet tone they were told not to discuss how much they spent... and then they tell me. Most of the time I am appalled! The cost is outlandish.
It's true these showcase systems bring 10-20 of the top agents into the same room and give hundreds of kids an opportunity to do their monologues and scenes in front of the agents all at once. That's a cool benefit. But for 15,000??? Please. Stop the madness.
You really don't need to pay $5,000 or more to do that. In LA these SAME EXACT AGENTS show up at workshops all over town doing smaller showcases with 5-10 agents at a time for about $1,500. Yes I said it...about $1,500! You can find these workshops at Actor Training In LA, Actors Site, 321 Talent, Talent House Academy and Children In Film event at the Oakwood in Burbank.

IMPORTANT
Did you see that? The event above is FREE. Forget $15,000.
But one thing you should know is that Agents are looking for VERY specific things. Qualities that make them choose one child over another. To find out what these are in detail so you can prepare your child for success and the opportunity to be repped by a great agent at a great agency you need to read my book "SECRETS OF A HOLLYWOOD TALENT MANAGER; HOW TO BREAK YOUR KIDS INTO SHOW BUSINESS." My e-Book is over 100 pages filled with critical information that will give you a serious advantage. Also, you will find sample cover letters, sample resumes and headshots, as well as learn what types of acting classes your child should be in that will impress Agents. And most importantly you will learn how to help your child stand out in meetings with Agencies. Believe me that can make or break the deal. If you come to these agents showcases unprepared you are NOT going to get anywhere, and that is a fact. We are looking for prepared kids who are ready to work.
