Starting a talent agency can be a lot less complicated then you might initially think. The mere thought of starting a talent agency can fill a person's mind with many complicated scenarios. For instance, where does one find the talent? And more importantly, where does one find the places to book these talents so that they can find work? Really, there's no need to worry for lack of talent or jobs for your talent to work.
The truth is, starting a talent agency isn't difficult at all, as finding talent can be as easy as falling off a log. For example, what about that great band you heard at that bar you and your friends went to that weekend? Or how about that surprisingly talented magician who performed at your niece's birthday party? Or what about those eye-catching models who were trying to get discovered at that trade show? Unless you're in a town with a population of about 15, there's enough talent to represent for starting a talent agency. The fact is that so many people with talent are looking to be discovered that it's difficult to wave a stick around without hitting one.
But another factor of starting a talent agency to consider is where to find jobs for these talents. Now, depending on where you set up shop, the sky can be the limit. For example, if you set up in a big city, it's much more likely that the talents that you represent can get more jobs and better fees. Anywhere you're located however, there are at least a few sources.
For models, there are magazines, runways, catalogs and TV commercials; for actors and actresses, there are TV shows and commercials, video clips, corporate training videos, voice-overs, animation voice actor jobs, and more; For musicians, there are bars and clubs, jazz clubs, radio stations, background sessions, recording studios, concerts, and the list goes on.
