San Diego Modeling Agencies Information

There are many "agencies" out there who would love to take your money, and might well promise you the world-- but remember that legitimate agencies are here to make you money, not take money from you!

Anyone can buy a membership to an organization to claim credibility. Becoming an agent for organizations like SAG and AFTRA is a far better indication of credibility, and affiliation is very easy to lose if you're reported for conduct that doesn't comply with union rules. It pays to research an agency!

There are some fine schools out there, and acting is certainly a craft to be learned and honed, but if any agent or agency ever asks you for money, or tries to sell you photography, run for the door!  That is not their business (or shouldn't be). If they're trying to make money off of you, then one can presume that they are not making it from paying commercial clients.

From the BBB: BBB Advises Caution When Dealing With Talent/Modeling Agencies

For further information or for the names of reputable agencies in your area please refer to:
  1. Screen Actors Guild Agency List (the main SAG site is at http://www.sag.org) has listings of the franchised agents in all major markets nationwide, broken down by state.
  2. The Better Business Bureau has a page specifically about modeling and talent agencies here. You can look for information on specific agencies/companies on this form.
