Frequently Asked Questions

1. Q. What does it cost to sign with REJOICE! Talent Agency?
A. Nothing. Any agency that charges as a prerequisite to signing is ILLEGITIMATE.  They may offer to manage your career with a Management leg of their company or recommend an affiliate or referral for a fee, but not mandatory to being signed. The agency has the right to accept or decline you as a "talent signed"  depending solely on your talent and/or look given the category they would place you under (Actor/actress, Model,  Musician, Dancer, etc.). However, as of June 1, 2010, RTA will give first submission consideration to those with activated 800casting accounts. It is mandatory for certain submission due to the client's request. The cost is $29.95 per year. RTA receives NO monetary gain whatsoever. It simply makes submitting to our clients complete, professional, and simple making it beneficial for the Agency, Client, and the Talent collectively. 

It is suggested to Upgrade the RTA website to increase your information to all our visitors. The cost is a one time fee of $29.95 and monetary gain does go to the agency. It is NOT mandatory, but highly suggested to have, both, RTA Upgrade and 800casting for optimum exposure.

2. Q. If I don't pay to be represented by the agency, then how does the agency make money?
