F.A.Q.
Entourage interviews monthly in both Austin and San Antonio, for potential new models and actors starting at the age of 5 on up. All of the scheduling is done through email, so send us an email to get the exact date and all the details for the upcoming sessions.
No previous experience is required for modeling, but you do need training or previous experience for acting.
We offer a workshop class 2-3 times a year to train people for acting, reading scripts, and perfecting their auditioning skills.
There is no fee to be represented by Entourage. The Agency makes money from commission from the talents booked jobs.
The only thing a person pays for, is their own personal headshot or composite card. Those photos are used as the individuals promotional photos, and you take the headshot/ composite card with you to each audition. You should update your professional photos once a year, and they are tax-deductible. It’s usually recommended to get photos taken through the Agency that is representing you, since they know the types of photos their Clients are looking for when selecting models for projects and photo shoot jobs.
You are never too old for modeling or acting! Clients always need to show a multitude of ages in movies, TV commercials, etc., so we represent models and actors from baby models through senior citizens! Think of the people you see in the TV commercials, showing Grandma in the kitchen making rice krispy treats with the grandchildren, or the hispanic family celebrating their teen daughter’s quindeanera, families having a family reunion picnic in the park in a movie, etc! So you’re never too old to be in modeling or acting!
In Texas, there’s not enough work for someone to do modeling or acting as a full time job. Do it part time as a hobby, for fun! The person does need to be available to attend auditions and do jobs as they come up, so a person definitely needs to have a level of flexibility with their schedule when getting into this industry. If someone is ONLY available at night or on weekends, this probably won’t work and isn’t the industry for them. Clients hold auditions and film commercials and do photo shoots for magazines, etc. basically any day and time of the week. During the school season, they do take into account children being in school and try and schedule them for after school. If a person is basically never available to attend auditions due to work or school, we don’t recommend them pursuing this field.
You need to be responsible for your own transportation to all auditions and jobs. If a JOB is filming out of state, Entourage generally will get all the transportation provided by the client, so you won’t incur any of those expenses yourself. Those jobs in other states are usually all-expense paid. 90% of all the auditions and jobs are local though.
