I have had such a pleasant experience with this agency so far! My daughter is 2 now and has been…read morewith this agency since she was an infant. They are so nice there and very reputable. The kids agents are super helpful and go through everything with you, answering any questions. They are no pressure and advise you to go home and think about things before you sign with them. They have so much work going through that agency. My daughter goes out regularly for castings with them and they remember you when you talk to them on the phone. It's a nice personal touch. They let us know right away when they are running low on photos or to update her work permit, or anything else. My first time there, my daughter was probably 6 months old and the agent let me change her diaper right there. Unfortunately my daughter started crying like crazy but her agent came right over and started playing with her again and my daughter stopped crying. Such a great group of folks there. I definitely recommend them to anyone.

Don't make the mistake we did and primp in those mirrors, the people inside can see you! lol! We found out when someone walked out while we were making sure we were presentable. We were able to get photos taken with Annie who was very sweet and professional. While we weren't signed with the Rock, they were very kind and gave us some good suggestions and direction. I would definitely recommend them for people looking for an agency. I can't speak for the value, but I would think that their expertise is invaluable! Overall it was a great experience!

My son went to an open casting call here, and I cannot say greater things about the experience…read more Laura was fantastic with the kids during the call. Very friendly, informative, and my son was extremely comfortable with Laura and the staff there. The atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. They are transparent and upfront with the experience and expectations. You get informed within two weeks if your child is selected-- they do adults, as well, but my experience is only with the talent (kid) side. The Rock Agency was extremely professional. Since my son was accepted to be represented, the staff has been awesome in terms of explaining the process, understanding the profession and field, setting clear expectations, and ensuring that parents are fully informed if their children are selected by the agency. My son is thoroughly looking forward to representing The Rock Agency and growing in his profession with The Rock's vast expertise and amazing staff!

The agency is right off the train stop just a few blocks up off uci/ of the blue line. It's on the 4th floor and it was very beautiful! I'd love to get signed out here by them so I can come back more often and kill it. I already know I got the juice. And I have the factor to bring more clients and work way more FORD holds open calls in Chicago from 2pm to 4pm, Monday to Friday (excluding Fridays during the Summer, when the agency closes at 1pm).

Having representation is a lot like being in a relationship. I've been with Lily's now, nearly 2…read moreyears and they've helped my career grow three sizes. Just like any other agency, you gotta keep your emails short and have your p's and q's in order or you're likely to fall into bad client habits that eventually get you released from representation. I've learned so much, and Courtney and Oliver and every junior intern that I've met there have been nothing short of knowledgeable and professional with a side of charisma. Oliver does not mince words and I appreciate that level of honesty. I've made some dumb mistakes (missed auditions, misrepresented my availability before checking my calendar) and they've taken care of me. And when I've expressed interest in other genres of work, I've been sent to those auditions. Anytime I manage the trek to the west loop and can drop in for a visit, I'm met with warm smiles and hugs and gab. Feels very much like a family and I feel very lucky that they have my back. They made some changes to their work flow apps at the start of the new year and there have been some growing pains on my end trying to get used to it. So I can only imagine how it's going on their end, but I appreciate that they've added this level of organization and accountability to attending auditions and keeping track of our progress. The only gripe I can really muster is the initial onboarding process included an option to pay extra to have your headshot featured directly in the website home page. I wasn't the biggest fan of that feature and don't know that I'd ever pay for it. I think, if I could I would, but I've gotten the impression that they're repping me whether or not I'm "featured." I'm SAG-eligible through their hard work and mine and I'm excited for the next opportunity with Lily's.

Gray Talent Group is generally unsupportive of their talent unless you are a recurring character on…read morea television show. They don't allow you to opt out of auditions without reprimand, even if the compensation is offensive. They are unreasonable; unfriendly; do not connect with talent; treat you as a line on a spreadsheet; ask for comp tickets to shows and then don't wait to say hello afterwards. Dawn is neglectful and only interested when it's convenient to her. It's not a good place to be.

I had thought this would be a good job agency. It's too bad that the receptionist providing the…read morefirst impression in answering the phone did not create a good one. The person was, first, difficult to understand, and second, took over the conversation and then after saying what they wanted to say just hung up. They displayed very unprofessional conduct, an unpleasant, impatient attitude and certainly left a lasting, though far from great, impression in their representation of the employment agency that hired them. Other job agencies are actually helpful and patient in answering questions. Normally, I don't take the time to write a review but I found this so disconcerting and the person so condescending in their treatment of someone that I felt compelled to do so. It doesn't take much just to be kind.
