Our Standards

This industry has a reputation, and it was earned. These are the rules we operate by. They are not aspirational. They are conditions of working with us, and they apply to every booker, client, and photographer on every job.

01

Commission only

No registration fees, portfolio fees, comp-card fees, class fees, or "test shoot" fees. Not at signing, not ever. If anyone asks you for money in our name, tell us.

02

No private auditions

Every meeting happens at our office during business hours with a second staff member present. No hotel rooms, no residences, no after-hours calls. No exceptions.

03

Adults only

Every model on our board is 18 or older. We do not represent minors, and we confirm age before any booking.

04

Named client, known rate

You know who you're shooting for, what the usage is, and what it pays before you accept, never after you arrive.

05

Licensed studios only

Shoots happen at commercial studios or approved locations with named crew and signed releases. You may bring someone with you to any booking.

06

You can leave

Written agreements with a defined term and a clear exit, plus the three-business-day cancellation right Texas guarantees you. No one is locked in.

Andrei Tone, founder of Tone Talent Agency
Andrei Tone · Founder

Who runs the agency

A producer, not a middleman.

Tone Talent Agency is founded and run by Andrei Tone, who also owns Tone Films, a video production company working across Dallas-Fort Worth.

The agency exists because of what the production side kept running into: casting a commercial or a brand shoot in this market takes longer than it should, and the shortlists that come back are rarely the ones a client actually books. So we are building one board at a time and building it properly, starting with models 18 and over across Dallas-Fort Worth, rather than listing a thousand names and calling it a roster.

It also means the standards on this page aren't marketing. They're the conditions I'd want in place if it were someone in my family signing.

On the Tone Films connection. I own both companies, and I'd rather you hear that from me than find it later. Talent represented here may be offered Tone Films bookings and can decline with no effect on their representation. Those bookings are negotiated by a booker with independent authority, paid at or above our published rate card, and carry no agency commission.

Frequently asked

Questions we get.

Straight answers on how representation works here, what it costs (nothing), and how the agency and Tone Films fit together.

Which boards are open for submissions right now?
Our board is open, to models 18 and over, across Dallas-Fort Worth. The remaining divisions - men, youth, curve, classic 40+, real people, actors, voiceover, hosts and spokespersons, artists, and influencers - open as we build the roster out. Submissions to those boards are kept on file and we contact you when the division opens.
Who owns Tone Talent Agency?
Tone Talent Agency is founded and run by Andrei Tone, who also owns Tone Films, a director-led video production company working across 31 U.S. cities. The two companies are under common ownership. Talent represented by the agency may be offered Tone Films bookings and may decline any such booking with no effect on their representation.
Can I book talent and a video production crew together?
Yes. Say so in your brief and we return a curated board alongside a fixed-fee production quote from Tone Films, our sister company, on the same 24-hour turnaround. Tone Films handles brand films, commercials, corporate video, event films, and live streaming.
Do I need representation to be cast in a Tone Films project?
No. Tone Films casts from our boards and from open submissions. Submitting to Tone Talent Agency is free, and it is the fastest way to be seen for Tone Films commercial, brand, and corporate work.
What cities does Tone Talent Agency cast in?
Our office and licensed home base is Dallas-Fort Worth. We cast into the same 31 markets Tone Films produces in across 13 states, including Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Frisco, Austin, McKinney, Lubbock, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Nashville, New York City, Boston, Washington D.C., Los Angeles, San Diego, Seattle, Miami, Columbus, and Des Moines. The Nashville board opens in 2026.
Does Tone Talent Agency charge talent any fees?
No. There are no registration fees, portfolio fees, comp-card fees, class fees, or test-shoot fees, at signing or ever. We are paid a commission on confirmed bookings only, which means we are paid when you work.
Do you accept international models from outside the U.S.?
Yes. Tone Talent Agency welcomes models 18 and over from anywhere in the world, including Japan, Ukraine, Italy, Germany, Brazil, France, Korea, and beyond. For confirmed U.S. bookings we coordinate travel and work with the client and immigration counsel on the right work visa, commonly the O-1B. Visitor visas and ESTA do not allow paid modeling work in the U.S.
How much do models get paid?
Talent is paid $100 per hour. The agency's 20% commission is billed to the client on top of that rate, so you keep the full $100 per hour. On a 4-hour booking you are paid $400 and the client is invoiced $480.
How fast do you respond to a casting brief?
Within one business day. Send the usage, dates, market, and rate range and we return a curated board rather than a database dump, then schedule callbacks or self-tapes and handle contracts, releases, permits, and invoicing.
