There’s no doubt that choosing good casting agencies will make all the difference when it comes to finding acting jobs in TV or film. However, if this is the first time that you have been looking around for a good casting agency then the choice might seem a bit bewildering. Not all agencies act the same way and some will suit you better than others for a whole variety of reasons. Some might be down right unsatisfactory and should be best avoided. So, how do you go about deciding which agency to get listed with? The article below describes some of the ways that you can use to work out which agency should represent you in the acting industry.

The best way to find out about casting agencies is through a word of mouth recommendation from somebody you know and trust – tips from friends and relatives that might be in the acting business are invaluable as they are more likely to be impartial. However, most of us do not have a whole crowd of people we know who are actors or actresses and who have been involved in the very sort of thing that we are interested in taking part in. As you gain experience however, and start getting a few jobs or go to a few auditions it will be your opportunity to start making contacts with people who are on the job. Being able to have direct contact with other more experienced actors and actresses is the best way of finding out about anything in the industry including which casting agency is best suited to you.

Assuming that you are just starting out, you will make the inevitable search on the internet to find that there seem to be literally hundreds of agencies all vying for actors to sign up with them and it is quite hard to tell the wheat from the chaff.

Some things to consider are the type of work that the agency specialises in. Make this your first line of inquiry. Make a shortlist of the best known agencies that deal with the sort of work in TV or film that you wish to be involved with. Most agencies will have a list of references made by previous or current clients. This is the next best thing after finding unbiased actors who you know already. Make contact with the people who have given references for the company and see what their experiences have been. They will probably know much more about the company than is likely to be advertised on the agency’s website. The sorts of questions you will be asking will be about the level of experience the agency has had and how hard that they look for auditions and casting roles for the actors they represent.
