Extras Agency
Fri, 22 Jan 2010, 10:05 amHi there!
I am looking to join an extras agency just to supplement my income doing something strange. I am looking for any information anyone has, pros or cons, in regards to extras agencies. I know there is a thread on here already in regards to this but it is almost four years old and things change pretty quickly. I have acting training but am just looking for extra work at the moment. Anything and everything you can post will be appreciated and probably not just by me.
I'll start the ball rolling by saying I once signed up to TalentBank (this is a few years ago now) I paid around $200 for 12 months and a photo session. The photos were terrible and I didn't get a single job. I now know to not sign with an agency that asks for a joining fee.
Thanks for your time!

They could be rivals, people with grudges or those that expected everything to be done for them and were disappointed when it didn't happen. Then again, they could be attempting to make the agency look good.
Filtering through all that to find out the posts of truth is hard. Sometimes it is best to have your list of requirements ready and then see how they measure up.
