http://www.theatre.asn.au/book_page/agents_and_agencies There's plenty of info on agents in the FAQ, and you might want to take a look at the SIMILAR ENTRIES panel on the right of the page. www.meltheco.org.au

I am surprised to discover

I am surprised to discover that I still find it shocking - even though I know the following has no bounds - that no one ever seems to do any research before signing a contract. The following is most pertinent to your request for info, after a quick google for the name of the company: http://www.theatre.asn.au/blog/labrug/acting_jobs_online_do_not_be_fooled Also, what Jeff said.

Serious Prosepcts

If you are truly serious about a professional career, then you need to at least consider the MEAA/Equity - The union fo actors.

www.alliance.org.au - http://www.alliance.org.au/section/equity/

Financial Membership will grant you legal protection/support plus they have a wealth of online material regarding rates, agents, and so forth. They may also be able to advise on options.

http://www.alliance.org.au/resources/equity/

The Membership fees can be scaled based on earnings or expected earnings and a lot of the support is only provided to paid members.

They also provide list of agents in each state. While these lists are not an endorsement, they tend to exclude anyone reported or found to be ... dodgy.

Mamm International

Hi Lizzie, My girls have been with MAMM for about 6 months now, they have both had a couple of jobs which has more than covered the registration. I have been quite happy and felt the charges were reasonable in comparison to other agencies I had looked into!

Mamm is a Scam

yes MAMM is a scam they charge a $250 fee to join this AT2 webiste which i believe is a good casting site however they only you sign you up with minium access so they pay the bottom account fee which is $99 and charge you the $250 premium fee and pocket the difference. they come across as good but they arn't i haven't recieved any paid work from them yet and they assured me i would as im willing to take part in pretty much any area and have alot of experience. they will send you jobs every now and again to make it out as if they are doing something but none of them are paid and the paid jobs they have sent me are for males how that applys to me as a female im not sure but yes they are a scam do not spend any money there!!!

The Mamm Scam

Mamm told me that I needed to pay $250 to gain access to the AT2 website and that was all Im paying for. I know this site to be a good site for casting and checked to see that a premium suscription is $249. The signed me up for a $69 extras basic profile. I'm still trying to get my money back. Tell everyone you know dont go there!!!!
