I was asked to schedule an appointment with Empire models and talent, but I only submitted my information via a form on their website, which did not allow me to include a picture or resume. I thought they would ask for it if they were looking for new people, but they just wanted me to call the office. I thought this was a little weird...
The site is http://www.empiretalentandmodels.com

Big Red Flag!

I responsed to a similar contact sheet for my DS with an agency local to us. No place to submit your resume or photo's. Just general information.

Mistake! Get to what I think is a one on one meeting. Nope, it's a room full of people also here for the same "appointment". So we are all sitting there various types and the "agent" starts a presentation on what "services" they offer. It was more like a recruitment for a school then an agency.

Ask alot of questions before you go.

Thank you merlin! I've been to those "auditions" before too, just never been advertised this way.

In California a talent agency MUST be licensed! Here is the site to check on an agents license:
