Question

Is australian talent management a credible agency? I'm a bit skeptical about the pre payment plan..?

Answer 1

If they say you must pay ahead of time, it's a scam. Find another agency. There should be plenty out there.

Answer 2

You shouldn't have to pay for ANYTHING. Its a scam. Watch out.

Answer 3

There should never, ever be a "pre payment" for ANY reason!  

Agencies only get paid AFTER you have booked an actual paying job, and you have done the work. Never before! Please understand that this is a common scam, and they are just preying on people's acting dreams.

Run the other way, and find a reputable agency!

I totally agree about the scam. A reputable agency will not be asking you for money upfront. If they truly represent you, they should not be asking for money, force you to use their photographers for headshots, charge you to be placed in their book of talent or anything like that. Look around and find an honest agency that will take you for your talent alone. If you'd like more information about the job of a talent agent go to www.musical-theater-kids.com/acting-agen...

Best of luck with finding an honest agent.
