My review of the agencies I have seen in Utah and signing with Stars Talent Studio

So, I finally decided on an agent. I am now signed with Stars Talent Studio.  After auditioning and considering multiple agencies.  I decided Stars was my best match.  I auditioned with Craze, Urban, Mccarty and landed at Stars Talent Studio.  Amber Evens is one of the owners as well as a very upbeat positive person.  She told me to select my own photographer or I could use one of the Stars Photographers  for my headshot and also for my comp card.  She has encouraged me to take up some acting classes to better my chances at landing a job and the studio offers classes but does not require me to take their classes.  Instead they allow me to decide where I get my training but they do offer training for their talent and it does cost. I think it is very important for any actor or model to understand that if an agency is requiring you to train through their agency then they are probably making most of their money through training not bookings.  I love my agency so far and I hope they help me to find lots of work but having an agent does not mean work Good skills hard work and talent is what gets you work and even then you still have to have the right look to book a job.  So there you have it many agencies in Utah will suggest or make you take their classes for a cost Mccarty tells you about good training centers and will not sign you if your are not ready.  Craze charges outrageous amounts for photos but gives acting classes for free.  Urban makes you sign a contract that says you will pay X amount for classes and photos before ever even considering you for bookings and Stars Talent Studio takes on all levels of talent and allows you to develop skill while still sending you to auditions. I really like my agency I hope they take me far beyond what I feel I can do.
