Smaller Agencies Are Your Gateway
The reason I’ve created this list is because my previous article on LA based talent firms has received a lot of attention, and I’ve been getting emails from actors asking about smaller LA agencies for them to submit to. Obviously, those agencies are more useful.
For the most effective strategy and tips, I’ve written a detailed guide on how to get an agent here. I recommend you use it alongside this list to improve your chances.
But remember that LA is a giant pool of talent – actors, models, directors – and people representing them. With so much competition, top talent agencies in LA have their hands full accommodating celebrities. This means that new actors have little to no chance.
When you’re relatively green in the industry and are trying to find an LA based talent agent to represent you, aiming at the very top of this list is futile. Instead, your goal should be to go with smaller LA boutique agencies that are just as hungry as you are.
Why? Because not only do you have a better chance of getting signed at smaller mid-sized and boutique agencies, but they will also work harder for you than any celebrity agency would. It’s in their own interest to get you to the top.
What’s In the Box?!
On the right, you can find two random pages from the document to give you a better idea of what this document contains.
As the title implies, it’s a list with 150 top talent agencies in Los Angeles – more than you would ever need to send your materials and finally getting signed with an agent.
It was put together starting with the most powerful agencies and dropping down in “levels.” The agency’s power rank is based on many factors, primarily their size, connections, specific agents, clients, and so on.
Rankings of LA talent agencies in here isn’t the only, or even the most important thing about this list. What’s more valuable are the agencies that begin after the first 20 – these will be your key target for (e)mailing submissions and getting interviews with agents.
It’s not easy to locate these smaller boutique agencies in LA – they don’t advertise themselves. With this detailed list, you have them and their info at your disposal.
To make the job much easier for you, I’ve also included some important details about every agency, such as their mailing address, social media, emails, phones, number of agents and clients, instructions on how to submit, agent names and a short description.
