This is one of the most difficult careers to get into, in fact it is nearly impossible unless you have amazing social skills and a gift of gab like no other. You also have to be able to work hard.
So how do you do it?
1. Get a 4 year degree. In anything. Business, Film, English, political sciences... anything.
2. Make sure you know someone, or someone who knows someone in the entertainment industry in LA or New York. This will get you an interview at one of the agencies to work in the mailroom. One interesting thing about the agency business is that you never get hired right off the bat to be an agent. You start at the bottom, in the mailroom. The work is grueling, and if you so much as sneeze or call someone "higher" than you by he wrong name, you are OUT OF THERE.
3. If you shine in the mailroom, and I mean SHINE, for about 1-2 years, then you get upgraded to the oh-so-glamorous position of assistant to an agent, or even a junior agent. This means 18 hour workdays and many odd tasks from finding a certain type of candy that is only sold in some strange, dark part of LA just because some junior agent's kid wanted it to balancing 9 phone calls on and off sometimes for 6 hours at a time. But if you make it, and you get promoted to junior agent, then it's a happy ride from there on out.
4. After junior agent the next step is agent, and then if your amazing at what you do, partner. It's a good life if you can make it to step one, but before you even start make sure you got the most determination of anyone you know, and you also happen to be the best talker.
If you're interested in learning more, I'd suggest picking up a copy of "So You Want to Be a Talent Agent? Everything You Need to Know to Start Your Own Local Talent Booking Agency" by Tom "Wolf" Elliott - ISBN 978-1-4502-2722-3. It's available from Amazon, BarnesandNoble, Borders, and other sources.
A modeling agency has to first be interested in you as a model before you can work with one. You can be scouted by someone that works at the modeling agency or you can get an interview after submitting pictures or attending an open casting call.
but do you have to pay and have to take classes
If you want to know how to GET interviewed by a talent agent, I can tell you the answer. You look in local newspapers or online. If they are having open calls for clients, you can schedule an appointment to go get interviewed. If they accept you as a client, you then get notices about acting jobs.
Start by taking acting lessons. Perform in local plays so that you gain experience. Hire a talent agent who will help you find jobs.
You act! Take a few acting classes to practice your skills, learn a monologue and a song, and go out and do some auditions. It may take awhile, but everyone gets a break sometime.
If you want to become a talent agent then you have some talent in your self also can co operate with other and can work friendly with others.
Becoming a publishing agent does not involve any special education, simply get a job at a publishing company and work your way up! Being a friend of an author would help too.
