Question
Thanks for your answer!  JRP has set an audition with Talent Agent Susie Mains from Trilogy Talent for my daughter and is looking into a scholarship for her to attend classes.  Can I get your thoughts?

Answer
Hi Sandy.  Trilogy talent is not a talent agent,but a management company and JRP is one of the least reputable companies in the US.  I would recommend not doing business with either. If you can find a true Modeling Agent that will represent you child, you will be better off.  At five, all she needs to know is to do what the director tells her to do.  Best wishes, Doc
