Performers use talent agents all the time in show business. Having professional help navigating the business can open doors and lead to opportunities but sometimes newcomers get taken advantage of or sign up for services that don’t meet their expectations.
If you decide to cancel a contract, know what the terms are; for example, if there are any associated fees or claims on residual payments for past work.
