Modeling Agency · Dallas-Fort Worth
For Clients
Brands, agencies, producers, and event teams. Tell us the brief and the budget; we send a curated board, not a database dump.
For Talent
We make money when you work, and only when you work: commission on confirmed bookings. We will never charge you to join, to be photographed, to be listed, or to take a class.
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.
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.
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.
Every model on our board is 18 or older. We do not represent minors, and we confirm age before any booking.
You know who you're shooting for, what the usage is, and what it pays before you accept, never after you arrive.
Shoots happen at commercial studios or approved locations with named crew and signed releases. You may bring someone with you to any booking.
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.
Who runs the agency
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.

We cast into every market Tone Films produces in: 31 cities across 13 states, with local faces, local crews, and local rates. Dallas-Fort Worth is our office and the licensed home base for representation, and the Nashville board opens in 2026.

Also from Tone
Tone Films is our sister company, a director-led Dallas video production company working across the same 31 markets. If your brief needs a crew as well as a cast, you can book both from one conversation.
Say so in your brief and we’ll return a curated board alongside a fixed-fee production quote, on the same 24-hour turnaround.
Ownership disclosure. Tone Talent Agency is under common ownership with Tone Films. Talent represented here may be offered Tone Films bookings and may decline any such booking with no effect on their representation. Those bookings are negotiated by a booker with independent authority, are paid at or above our published rate card, and carry no agency commission.
