Hello I was wondering if anyone could offer up any advice on how to get into agency to look into modeling and acting my adult daughter has been very poorly on and off and has decided segue would like to go after her dreams
But we can't seem to find anywhere to get help she's 21
And was in a stage coach throughout teenage years
Any company names
Or places to look would be very gratefully received
Thank guys

Can’t help with modelling but if she has strong potential and the determination and resilience for an acting career she needs to look into applying to drama schools.

This might be a good place to start:

Search | Universities and colleges | "Drama" | UCAS

Thank you for your post
Yes that's something I will pass on for her to look into
I am sure there must be some agents out there but we can't seem to find the genuine ones
Thank you again

What sort of agents are you looking for?

Does she have any acting experience beyond Stagecoach? Amateur or professional productions? Has she written any plays or film scripts, with or without collaborators, and put the shows on anywhere? Has she worked in any theatres in support roles - stage management, costume, etc?

Genuine, legitimate agents will be looking at students coming out of drama schools (right now!) with strong acting credits and some evidence of being proactive in making their careers happen. They won’t take on people with no background just because they want to be an actor. If she doesn’t yet have relevant experience I do urge her to read every word of every possible drama school website - and find out what she needs to be doing to make herself competitive.

Obviously modelling has different entry routes - I know nothing about that, though.
