I tried to compare agencies using IMDB in small market but this is what I found:

Agencies do not link to actors with low IMDB ratings or most of their talent is not on IMDB. Most people in my area had never heard of the highest rated IMDB talent agency in our area. I submitted to the agency and they were willing to sign my DD without even talking to her first!

There's something called common sense in this world and it saddens me that so many actors are lacking any.

This is tangential, but my kid recently confided in me that when the acting bug bit her at the age of 10, she thought that it would only take a few months to become a major star on the Disney Channel. Ha. After six years, countless hours of acting, singing, and dancing lessons, countless auditions, thousands of miles in the car, thousands of dollars spent, lots of books on the business of acting, lots of reading on this message board and others, a manager come and gone, getting an agent a year ago and still having to hustle, and now planning our move to L.A., she's amused at herself as she looks back on on that misconception. This is a long road.

Thank you.
I used to think I can become an actor the easy way, by falling for scams which prommised me a big break,
I was wrong about that
