only people who really know what theyre talking about please!

Answer 1

You do not have to pay more than one agent, since you cannot have more than one agent if one has an exclusive to represent you. If you have more than one agent, you only have to pay the one that got you the audition or the part.  Good agents are not measured by the size of the city. They are measured by how much work they get you. Now about flying in to Chicago when you have an audition.   Your dad or his pilot available when ever  you need the plane?  Finally, it is unlikely an agent some 400 miles away or more would sign you.

Answer 2

I think you just wanted to brag that you 'met chelsea staub' and wanted to brag that your dad has a plane?

Wow, I am just so impressed. -.-

But I think if you live in Minneapolis, why would you want to get an agent in Chicago if you aren't going to live there?  I'm pretty sure an agent wouldn't want a girl that lives so far away.  It's more work for him to find the jobs near YOU.  Rather then him knowing jobs in the Chicago area.  So if you are willing to drive to Chicago for good auditions, go for it.  But if you'd rather stay in your general area, I say stay with your agent or get a better one in your area.
