Hi all

I realise this can be subjective but I am interested in hearing about various agents and what its like to work with them .

What is the norm?

Which agent are you with?
Have they charged you a fee to join (other than spotlight fee)?
If so how much?
Do they allow you be with a separate agent for modelling voice overs etc?
Do they give you regular updates on what your child has been submitted for?
Does your agent give feedback on any unsuccessful auditions or even an answer?
Do they keep in touch with you when your child is working (probably only relevant with long contracts or tours etc) with a "hows it going" call or e-mail etc?
Are they approachable, do you feel able to call them to discuss things that you may have heard are in the pipeline etc?
Do you feel valued as a client of theirs?
If you have any concerns (i.e chaperones, working hours, health & safety etc) do they take them seriously?

I realise that this is a long list but am interested in your views and realise that most of you will not wish to post in public. Please PM me if this is the case.

I promise to keep all answers confidential but may even produce some general results if enough people answer.

Thanks guys

ps I am asking these questions purely from an interest point of view. No hidden agenda

oh crumbs. Tried to edit that to make it less full of colour coding and ended up deleting it!!! I am happy with my agent. She doesn't charge anything and I can talk to her when I need to - that was sort of the gist of it!

Brilliant Thanks PG

Have pm you. Would be nice if u could share the info with all of us even if u just pm us back then u can tell us all what the out come is

I would also be interested in this as I am thinking this might be the next step for my DD.

I will produce a sumamry doc for those interested at the end.

Its just an interets thing really and some of the answers so far have been quite different, not bad, just different

I'd like to see the summary too thanks

Yes, me too - in a way it's a shame we can't just post our info and opinions - but anonymously, if you know what I mean - I am sure it would prove helpful to those looking at changing agents - although we are v happy with ours I hasten to add lol

I will pm you too x

I'd love to see the summary doc if at all possible too xx

Hi Dawn
Have pm'd you. Hope it's useful. I'd love to hear your findings. Many thanks for doing this.
