Question

Answer 1

You dont need an agent but they help alot!!! Acting agents, find auditions for you, and help you find coaches and stuff, people tell them what they need as actors and they send out people that fit what they need and some get talent scouts to come to the agency and meet you so you can show them a monologue. Singing agents, pretty much the same... Modeling agents, find you work, and have contracts with people that come to the modeling agency and look for people, almost like acting agents. Most agents are like that...

Answer 2

Talent agents help you if you want to become an actress/model they look for auditions that fit you and they also help you with headshots and all the things you need to be a successfull actress/model. I dont know if you have to have one to be on T.V you probably don't, but its better if you do.
