KUDOS GO OUT TO ALL THOSE MODELS! GREAT JOB AND THERE'S LOTS MORE COMING UP!! \r \r PS: There is NO WAY Entourage could select every person that comes in to interview at the Agency, there would be thousands of models with the Agency!! Entourage interviews on a monthly basis, because the rest of the time they're booking jobs. Each month, there's anywhere from 30-50 people that get booked for an interview with Entourage, and oh my goodness, where would they put them all if everyone was selected!*LOL* Entourage doesn't hold interviews all the time since the Agency is busy booking auditions and jobs! I have no idea why people think Entourage accepts everyone (ha-what a funny joke to think that),...and why do people think they can report that FALSE statement ......, are they in the office and see/know everyone that walks through the Entourage doors???! Ha,....that's just crazy! Pros: Hard Working Agency, Very Professional Cons: that Clients don't always give us alot of advance notice more

Entourage recently booked about 10 kids for Parent magazine, including the front cover! Entourage also has kids in the Spurs commercial with Pizza Hut, and the SA Stock show and Rodeo commercial which I saw many, many times!! There has been several auditions going on, mainly for adults, and some for teens & kids here and there. A few were for spanish speaking only. The way the economy is right now, it's hard for everyone, and of course modeling and acting are not exempt in this slow time!! Why would people think that all other businesses are affected by todays economy and slow time for business, and not Entourage? We can all only pray it gets better! Pros: Hard working Agency even in slow times Cons: the modeling industry as a whole being slow due to economy more

I was glad to see it's not just me! I signed my twins up last year and only had one call for a show up, but in Austin ,and the job did not even pay anything. It was for a stock pile photo shoot just to get your kids photo out there for free. I can do that on my own. Just read YAHOO user reviews on this agency and you will get the general idea on why you should not waste your time and money with this agency.The owner Cindy does try to come across as professional, but just realize her family has to make a living also, and too bad they will take anyone that comes through the door with money just to pay their bills. more

I have been involved in the ""Business"" since I was a little. My mother is a card carrying Musicians Union member and I have done print, commercials and radio spots for more than 40 years. With all that being said my experiences with Entourage Agency have been wonderful. I have had several auditions that have led to jobs. Modeling/acting is a business. You must be able to sell yourself - be on time, be professional, be energetic and most importantly listen to the director. I am sorry that some people have been disappointed with their experiences, but Entourage does not guarantee that you will be hired. That is a descision made by the director. This business takes work, it is not just about looks. Pros: great guidance on auditions, super composite cards and fabulous photography more

My short experience with Entourage has been an exciting one. My family signed up only a month ago and my husband had a commercial audition the same day. Needless to say, he wasn't prepared and didn't get the job, but was honest with the production crew and they called him back for a different commercial. A week later, my daughter attended an audition in Austin for yet another commercial. She was called backed to re-audition, but didn't make the final cut. However, not too bad for her 1st time and Cindy did a wonderful job of coaching us along the way. I predict that my husband and daughter will greatly improve. I credit Cindy with the ""know-how"" of geting selected. She's excellent in guidance and you only need to ask her advice. She is also wonderful in providing opportunites for getting jobs. That's all she can really do since she's not the one auditioning (you've got to be the one with talent). Entourage has kept us very busy and has taught us a lot along the way! Pros: Lots of opportunity, professional Cons: Short notice more

I have been doing promotions and events now for thirty five years. In the past using other agencies there have been problems of models not showing up for a promotions or events. In searching for a better and more reliable agency I came across Entourage. I have been using them now for approx 20 years. When I book models or talent, Cindy makes sure that they are there and on time. I love working with Entourage, because they do what they say they their going too do. Great Agency.... more

Entourage Model and Talent Agency has been more than fair to our children. In fact, after thinking it over for weeks and finally deciding we would allow our children to enter the business I went thru the phone book and made calls to 2 other agencies here in S.A. They both told me they were not taking new children/clients and to ""call back in about 3 to 4 months. WOW - how can an agency turn down a potential client(s) without even meeting/interviewing them?????? I was dissappointed.. I thought to myself - surely this can't be the way all modeling agencies manage their business.???????? How can they decide wether to represent a child without even meeting with them??? I decided to make one more call - Thank God I did!!!! Entourgae was the only agency who took the time to interview my children. Cindy - who was kind enough to invest her time into an interview - has been up front and honest with us from the beginning. She explained to us the majority of auditions and work for children is out of Austin, Dallas and Houston. And that is exactly the way it has been. My children have worked in a couple of commercials - one in Austin and the other in her in S.A. If one expects to gain experience and work for their children then they/parents must take their children to the auditions. The auditions she has asked us to go to have been professional and in a safe environment. My children have gained good experience(social & communication skills, self confidence, etc). I'm sure they will be able to use this experience for the rest of their life. I am very glad I made that ""one more call"" to Entourage Model and Talent and I'm glad Cindy took the time to interview my children. Entourage has done a great job respresenting our children. Pros: Honest and up front about the business more

I was very skeptical at first because you had to pay for the composit cards, but any agency you go to will ask you for the same thing. Cindy does a good job with the photos if you want to pick her your photographer if not you can always find yourself another photographer. I've been with this agency for more than 2 yrs and it takes a while before you get how to market yourself. It's a business so if you can't make the audition then....you just kindly gave away your money to someone else. I'm always appreciative that Cindy makes sure that I'm always save and well prepared. Talent plus patience will give you the job and Cindy has been very helpful. more

I took my son and daughter here because I have been told time and time to get these kids into modeling. But they are 3 and 4 and I live in SA and there is not a lot of agencies for babies in SA. So we tried this one. DISAPPOINTED. They take ""any"" baby that comes through the door,.... to pay their bills. As far as JOBS . NONE! We got more offers for modeling just being at the mall and stores. They make you think your child has to have that special something to get picked, don't believe it . Just go, and your in. It's all about the denero, mula. MONEY. more

I'm surprised.... I was looking for a restaurant and decided to do a search on the talent agency, Entourage, to see the website that books my son and I was surprised at some of the comments. I know that it's a lottery for whether he gets booked or not, but at least I know that his information has been put out there in a professional manner. I never have to worry about the legitimacy of the job and that is worth a lot to me. Of course I wish he was a superstar and I wouldn't have to work anymore, but it has been a good investment and we have made more than our money back. Kudos to the staff for all of their hard work! Pros: Agency has been around for a long time and has a good track record. more

Babies from Entourage just booked a TV commercial (SAG Union) for Superpages!! There also were several that did a Valley Baptist Hospital Commercial and Print Ad. Then over 20 babies did photo shoots for stock photos! Great job kids!! \r \r Some Bookings/Jobs that adult Entourage Models/Actors recently did include: Time Warner TV commercial, Country/Western Music Video, Valero, American Payroll Association, Print work for San Antonio Convention & Visitors Bureau, Wayne Wright Injury Lawyers, Print ad for new Housing development & Country Club, and Documentary for Buffalo Soldiers. Pros: alot of various ages and ethnicities represented, fun auditions, great jobs! more

My 2 year contract ends next month................auditions, jobs?.............still waiting. Not one yet. They said I should have no trouble getting jobs cause I had "" it"", HA!\r Shoud have took the money I spent here and went shopping instead. more

The 1st review by cynthia is written by the co-owner. The truth is, if you sign up with this agency, you are just\r paying for their bills. It's not shady, and if for some miracle you receive a call for an audition, it is pretty safe compared to the other agencys, as far as the clients that call. It has been around long, because they cover themselves legally, but, do not plan on making money modeling. They say they have the best baby dept. in Texas, because it's the ONLY baby dept, agency. And if we hear the Tia and Tamara story one more time, we'll scream. it's the only story the agency has to tell about the models that came out of their agency, and they just started with them, but did not make it until they went through other agencies.\r We were disappointed with the service of this so called model and talent agency as far as NO WORK. more

3 friends of mine and I signed our children to this agency. It's legit and follows safe rules and state guidelines. If you just want your child with an agency, this is it, but don't expect results. Our children were above average cute and talented but got no auditions or jobs. They say they will call you the next day to let you know if your accepted, believe me, if you have the cash to pay, your accepted. Don't expect the keeping you up to date calls ""After"" you pay. more

My family owns Entourage. We have been in business since 1988. First off, in response to some of the reviews currently posted, we are an Agency, simply the ""MIDDLE MAN"" between Clients needing to hire Models/Actors for jobs, and the Models/Actors we represent. Once again..the Middle Man! We provide Models/Actors who the CLIENTS SELECT for the jobs, we can't just ""make up"" a job and then simply put anyone we want in it! If someone did not get any jobs or auditions, it's simply because that person/child did NOT get ""selected"" from the clients who HIRE the Models and Actors. THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ENTOURAGE! That doesn't make us unprofessional, or not legitimate, or anything of that nature (!) if you or your child didn't get picked by the Clients for any jobs/auditions! Instead of coming on here and writing poor reviews and complaining about us, I would be more concerned about calling into the Agency and seeing what I could do to make myself more marketable and start getting jobs/auditions!! Secondly...Entourage is an Agency NOT a Modeling School. You don't walk in and we try and sell you modeling classes, ha. Many Agencies try and get you in to sell you Modeling Classes, and spend money and fly to Modeling Conventions, etc. We have never done that. Our focus is as an Agency and booking Models/Actors for jobs! Entourage has landed parts for our Models/Actors in Feature Films, TV Commercials, Music Videos, Print Ads, Radio Commercials, etc. Sea World, Wal-Mart, OshKosh, Church's Chicken, Childrens Books, to only name a few. We just sent little ones from our ""Baby Dept"" last week for a TV Commercial. And once again, the CLIENT ""picked"" who they wanted to come to the audition. WE didn't pick, THEY picked who THEY wanted. Someone once told us-- ""When you're about somethin', there's always gonna be someone unhappy that tries to knock you down"". And On the flip side- there's TONS of people who are EXTREMELY HAPPY with Entourage and are BOOKING JOBS** Pros: Professional, Dependable, Licensed & Bonded, Reputable with Clients all over the States! more
