How do I know if an agency is reputable?
Check how long the agency has been established.
Look on the MEAA website www.alliance.org.au (http://www.alliance.org.au/) as they have a list of recommended agents.
Ask what rates of commission are charged, as there are industry standards.
Ask how many people the agency represents? The less they rep, the more personalised level of service they will be able to offer.
Ask who they currently represent that you might know from film, theatre or television?
Ask if the agency is affiliated with any organisations. Eg; VCAA (Victorian Childrens Agents Association) or the ADAA (Australian Dramatic Agents Association).
Ask industry professionals, such as Casting or Production Houses, who they deal with regularly and trust. The bigger Casting Houses in Melbourne include Mullinars, Maura Fay, Nick Hamon and Chameleon.
We go through Catherine Poulton. They do not take kids under 5, they only take one child of a certain sex of a certain age and look (ie only 1 7yo blue eyed blond haired boy, 1 dark eyed darked hair 7yo european boy etc)
They charge one of the lowest commission of any agent, they only on charge the photographers studio time etc.
