Modeling Agencies in the Bay Area

March 26, 2006 3:22 PM

I'm looking for modeling/acting agencies in or around the bay area, ca. This would be for a 20 year old girl, she has high school and some college drama classes and a little modeling under her belt. Lots of smarts. Recommendations or success stories are welcome. Also feel free to let us know if there is any places/agencies to avoid. Thanks Guys and Gals!

The best in the area are probably, Look Models, City Models and Stars Agency. Each of their websites has their open call requirements listed.

Marla Dell represents one of my kids. They're not always easy to work with, but they market the talent very, very aggressively (a bit much for my taste, but then my kid's not a pro) and are one of the more prestigious outfits in San Francisco.

Avoid any agency that makes you use their own photographers, and avoid agencies that charge fees, and make sure that the agency is licensed.

I learned those three biggies from something on the news the other night. ;)
