From Delores, CA
I just started working with a local agent. I was surprised that the agent did not ask me to sign an exclusive contract. Is this unusual?
Dear Delores:
No, it is not unusual for an agency to work with actors and models without a contract. This is especially true for commercial models. I currently work with 62 agents and do not have an exclusive contract with any one of them.
I am not saying there is any problem with having an exclusive contract with an agent. My life would be much less complicated if I had one agent who could get me enough work so that I would not have to work with so many agents. I spend a fortune making sure that each agent has enough head shots, comp cards and voice and video tapes.
