  GreatVoice – Finding a talent agent.
A talent agent's job is to sift through all the ãwanna-be's," ãtype" the talent and then present qualified and appropriate talent to casting directors, producers, ad agencies and companies who are looking for actors (on and off camera) for their productions.
Should one of their talents book the job, the agent handles the details of the booking and negotiates the fee, makes sure you are paid in a timely manner and take 10-15% of your talent fee for their efforts.
Agents are paid commissions from both the talent they represent and the clients for whom they provide the talent.

 What Does A Talent Agent Do? Talent Agencies, Talent Agents
Talent agents came into existence because actors had many financial and legal disputes with the big studios and needed someone to represent them.
Talent managers on the other hand are a whole other article but you must beware of anyone claiming to be an agent or manager and they charge you upfront fees.
Agents spend most of the day on the phones, looking through the “breakdowns” (a daily listing of all the acting roles the studios/casting directors are seeking) and submitting pictures to casting directors, hoping to get you in on an audition.

 SoYouWanna get a talent agent?
Because agents are the gatekeepers to the people who hire you for TV, film, and commercials — the casting directors (CDs) and producers.
Being with the same agency for everything is called being "signed across the board." Some actors prefer to have different agents for different types of work since certain agencies specialize in certain types of casting, while other actors prefer to have centralized representation.
Agents get information about auditions for roles, either directly from CDs and producers or from an insiders-only fax service called "the breakdowns." The breakdowns is a daily faxed list of roles being cast, and they are available only to agents and managers.
