One of my grandchildren is fortunate enough to have a good voice and some acting ability. Had several lead parts in musicals for the amature drama company she is in.
Ready to take the next step and get an agent/agency but choosing the right/best one is not as easy as it seems.
Some will take virtually anyone and charge 15% of any earnings.
The one that seems best is choosy who they take on but charge 30% which seems excessive.
I realise that 15% is useless if they DONT get you the parts whereas 30% could be OK if they DO get you the parts.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has experience in this.
