I’ve been considering signing up with a local talent and modeling agency to help me get started in the industry. They promise portfolio building, runway classes, and even casting calls, but I’ve heard mixed reviews about whether these agencies are really worth the investment. Has anyone here had good or bad experiences with talent agencies? Did they actually help launch your career, or was it more about collecting fees without much return?

I tried a small local agency a few years back. They did help me get a few gigs, mostly for promotional events, but nothing major like fashion shoots. Honestly, I learned more networking on my own than relying on them. It can be a hit-or-miss depending on their connections.

One of my cousins joined a well-known agency and got great exposure, but I also know people who spent a lot and didn’t see much in return. It really depends on how reputable the agency is and how much effort you put in yourself. If you’re researching, take your time and check places like https://barbizon-modeling-school.pissedconsumer.com/review.html to see honest feedback from others. Modeling is competitive, and agencies are just one part of the journey. Building a strong portfolio, networking, and improving your craft matter just as much as signing with an agency.
