Avenue Productions Reviews When the Curtain Opens

For an aspiring model or actor, the butterflies start way, way before the camera rolls or the curtain opens. There's a whole world to negotiate, what with model composites and auditions and the constant competition. Plus finding an agency to keep you from going out of your mind while beginning the search. The right agency, though, can keep the madness at bay.

Oh, talent agencies dot the landscape of our great nation looking for the next big thing. And while some of them have goodness in their collective hearts, some are looking to cash in on your dream without cutting you in. There are so many promises floating around, it's easy to get taken in, to get excited about how easy it all seems. Which just isn't always the case. So it rewards the aspiring talent to start scratching the surface and doing a bit of research.

Look for an agency that is fully licensed -- and preferably older than a high school student. If the agency asks for a registration fee upfront, run as fast as your little legs can carry you. And check out the agency's client list. Recognizable names like Target and Frito-Lay are preferable to "The Calamari Hair Clinic."

Now that you've got an agency, the question becomes one of work. As in, what kind do you want to do? Commercials? Runway? Magazine? Radio? You want to find some TV work? It's everywhere. In Southern Florida alone, USA Network is filming "Burn Notice" while Fox is shooting its drama "The Glades." And those shows both seek good local talent.

The best, right face is not always the most exotic. Talent agencies know that the familiar face living among us everyday folk is often the best for telling a story or selling us a smartphone. And the person attached to that face is often not a professional, which is also fine. Sometimes, that person is a baby, or a grandparent. You never know with those faces hiding in plain sight.

There's a lot to keep in mind, certainly. It's a whole new crazy world after all. The agency can give you a little push out onto the river -- headshots, auditions, the rules of engagement -- but of course at some point you have to start paddling. If you're good, and work hard, and get a bit lucky, you'll find the current to carry you the rest of the way.
