is the Australian Talent Management agency good?
Fri, 6 July 2007, 12:06 pmRecently an extras/acting/modelling agency called Australian Talent Management (ATM) has been advertising current castings all over Australia-wide online job listings. I have been in contact with them regarding a TV series being filmed on the Gold Coast, but I can't find any information on them (other then their job listings and website).
Does anyone know this agency? Is it another NOTM?
I'm a bit concerned. They allow for a free listing on their website but in order to actually be presented to clients, they suggest you upgrade to a $100 yearly membership. I was in touch with NOTM a year ago and I recall they had a very similar system of membership.
If anyone has any information, it would be greatly appreciated. I suspect there will soon be an increase in interest in this agency following the recent spate of casting listings.
How exciting

An advertising war
Companies slagging off eachother.
Just like in real life. Oh wait...
I am sure privacy laws have been breached here. Express permission is usually required from the referee (read refer-ee) when advertising a company that runs for-profit. I am sure that ATM and D2D have asked permission of everyone they referred to use their likeness/identities.

From someone who has no agent?
Note One: Beware of who gives you advice. I would not heed any advice of someone untrained and unqualified.

"...my companies"
Australian Law requires all companies operating in Australia to have an ACN, which in turn demands an ASIC listing. Individuals or partnerships that are not registered as an australian company are a business, and not a legal entity. An ABN that applies to an individual, partnership or trust fund may then operate and trade using one ABN for any number of endeavours.

All hail Google, the mightiest "if it's not here it doesn't exist" codex ever imagined.
Not.

That's the problem with seeking information on the internet:whether the opinion is valid, true, backed by fact or by fiction, the monkeys have as much power as the monarchs.
