The choice mainly depends on what you need. Some agencies specialise in fashion, others in advertising, fiction, extras or everyday profiles. What matters is choosing a team that can understand your brief and put forward coherent profiles.
The criteria worth checking
- The agency's experience on similar projects
- The diversity of its talent roster
- How quickly it responds
- The quality of the photos and profiles it puts forward
- Its ability to handle the organisation of the casting
How do you join an actors' agency in Brussels?
To join an agency you usually send an application with some basic information, recent photos and, if you have one, an acting CV or a showreel.
At Smiling Agency, a complete profile means you get contacted whenever a project matches your apparent age, your style, your experience or your availability.
Can an agency guarantee a role?
No. A serious agency cannot guarantee a role, a contract or a selection. Its job is to put forward the profiles that best match what the client or casting director is looking for. The final decision always depends on the project.
