How to find an agency / acting agency
 About an acting agency: Search for an acting agency in your area
An Actor/Actress/Model may have an acting agency, often representing different aspects of their career (i.e.; one agent for Principal Work, one for Commercial Work, another for Print Work). There may be times they are all with the same agent, but do not count on it. If you sign up with more than one acting agency, just be certain they communicate with each other. We suggest that you sign a 1 year non-exclusive contract with a local agent. If you are able to travel, we recommend you look for a acting agency in Los Angeles or New York.
