Question
i am a very attractive black female and am looking to get into the adult industry. what are some good black talent agencies in the LA area that would be good to look into?

Answer
Hi Laquinte,

The only Agency that I am aware of that specializes in working with African-American performers would be Exotic Talent (www. exotictalentagency.com) in Sherman Oaks California. It’s a small, but very reputable, agency operated by Ron Ellis and currently list more African American women than any other Agency I am aware of.

However, you shouldn’t limit your options because there are many other Agencies who would love to hear from you as well. Some of the more popular Agencies in and around Las Angeles are:

http://www.alisttalent.com
http://www.adulttalentmanagers.com
http://www.goldstarmodeling.com
http://www.lisaannstalentmanagement.com
http://www.type9models.com
http://www.worldmodeling.com


These are reputable Agencies and their websites have all the information necessary to put you in contact with a representative. These Agencies only work with equally reputable Production companies thus greatly increasing your chances of success. If this is something you are serious about, get yourself signed with an Agency and let them get you started on the right track.

For your own safety I would also STRONGLY advise you to avoid placing and/or answering ads on sites like xpeeps.com, craigslist.com and backpage.com looking for work. These, and many similar, sites are common playgrounds for all manner of predator and are honestly never used by legitimate Adult Industry Professionals to any real extent.

You may also feel free to email me directly and include some Photos and your Phone Number. I will be happy to consider you for one of our projects planned for this year.

Good Luck
