Actually, the whole acting world is unfamiliar to me.  I just want to know if it is legit and if this is a great thing!? or it is all a hype.  thank you

Answer: You can find out for yourself if they ask you for money in order to represent your daughter. No legit agency would do that. Legit agencies would only take a percentage of your daughter's pay *after* they have gotten her work. They also shouldn't be trusted if they insist that you pay for new headshots by their photographer or any other service. They can recommend that you do those things, but if their representation of your daughter is contingent on you paying them money *before* your daughter gets any work, I wouldn't trust them.\n\nAlso find out what their union affiliations are (SAG, AFTRA, Actor's Equity, etc.) and see if you can find out information about them from those unions. Good luck! If they are legit, it really is a great thing!
