Booking models or actors for a shoot, an event or a campaign usually starts with an agency, and aspiring talent often begins there too. This guide covers seven Singapore model and talent agencies, from fashion model agencies to artiste managers and casting firms. Each write-up draws only on what the agency's own site says about its divisions, services and enquiry routes, so we have kept claims attributed and left out fees. Use the how-to-choose section to match your brief or ambitions to the right kind of agency, then contact the agencies directly to confirm availability, current intake and terms before committing.

1. Basic Models Management

Basic Models Management presents itself as a Singapore agency that develops its own models rather than only importing them. Its site arranges the roster into women's and men's boards, with development, direct-booking and plus-size sections for women, plus a separate artistes page. Brands are invited to message its booking team, and the agency says its models complete training before being presented for jobs. For newcomers, the site says recruitment runs through an annual open casting call rather than walk-ins, states that there is no application fee, and describes a seven-week training stage for selected applicants. It also notes that its models work on exclusive contracts, which is worth reading carefully before signing anything. A linked academy site covers modelling courses for aspiring models.

2. Phantom Models Management

Phantom says it was founded in 1993 and describes itself as a talent discovery and model management agency. Its site separates female and male models into mature, youth and juniors groups, and also lists influencers and a production arm. The services page mentions photography and videography with partner photographers, hair, make-up and styling, emcees, event and promotional models, runway models and casting services. That makes it a handy single enquiry point if you need people for a show or promotion as well as a shoot. Phantom also says it has taken a stance against segmenting talent by race, age or size. Aspiring talent can submit measurements, photos and a short video through its become-a-model form, and its contact page lists separate email departments.

3. Upfront Models and Production

Upfront says it began in 1997 representing fashion and commercial models, and its site describes male and female talent from Singapore and overseas. The roster is organised into male and female sections, each split into in-town models, international models, a development board and a celebrity group, with a direct-booking page for each gender. A blog section carries editorial and magazine-cover credits, with the most recent posts dated 2025, showing the fashion work it handles. Clients are directed to a general enquiries email on its contact page, and the page also lists a Singapore office phone line. Anyone hoping to be represented should check its site for current submission guidance, since the pages we read do not describe an open-call process.

4. Ave Management

Ave Management says it was founded in 2004 by two fashion photographers and positions itself as a modelling agency that scouts and develops new faces. Its site arranges models into women and men boards, each divided into in-town, direct and Asian or pan-Asian groups, with a new-face section and a special-arrangement page for particular requests. The agency also says it manages celebrities, influencers and industry figures alongside models. A become-a-model page asks for four natural photographs, including head-shot, profile, mid-length and full-length images, and lists the file-size limit and styling guidance for the pictures, so candidates know what to prepare. Its contact page gives a central business-district address, a phone line and a general enquiries email for clients and applicants.

5. TCP Media Group

TCP Media Group, trading as TCP Artistes, says it began as an interest group in 2006 and became a full artiste management agency in 2011. It describes working with the national broadcaster and production houses in Singapore, and with public-relations and marketing agencies on digital campaigns for its artistes. The site lists a bilingual roster that spans actors and digital content creators, and says the agency expanded into Malaysia in 2024 and entered a co-management arrangement with another regional agency that year. This is an agency for hosts, actors and creators rather than catwalk work. Productions and brands can use the contact page, which publishes an artistes email address and a Geylang office address, or a short form for enquiries.

6. FLY Entertainment

FLY Entertainment says it was founded in 1999 by actress and host Irene Ang and describes a roster of more than 60 artistes, including actors, hosts, content creators and speakers. Its enquiry form lets clients choose a job type such as event hosting, online appearances, motivational speaking, commercials, acting, presenting, voice-overs or theatre. The services page also mentions artiste-led social media campaigns, micro-drama production, studio rental and small-group masterclasses, so it covers more than booking talent. Separate email addresses are published for general enquiries, acting and hosting engagements, and business partnerships. The footer on the pages we read shows a 2024 copyright, so confirm availability and the process directly. It suits brands and event organisers wanting recognisable on-camera or hosting talent.

7. Hello Group

Hello Group describes itself as a Singapore casting and talent management agency that places talent in films, series, music videos and commercials. Its about page lists casting, audition, talent scouting, coordination and management as services, and says its database holds more than 10,000 talents, including actors, models and even animals. It also advertises two sound-proofed casting studios and a photo studio that can be rented, which is useful if you need a space for self-tape sessions or auditions. A join-us page invites performers such as actors, dancers, singers, musicians and presenters to send their details by email, and a works section lists commercials, series and films it has cast. Productions can contact the team through its published general email, with a Tai Seng office address.

How to choose

  • Decide what you are casting for before you enquire. Fashion, runway and print work, commercial brand shoots, hosting, acting and film casting are different jobs, and most agencies lean one way. Read each site's divisions, such as boards, juniors, artistes or production, and ask which part of the agency would handle your brief.
  • Ask how talent is represented. Some agencies say models sign exclusive contracts, while others place talent for single jobs or through direct-booking lists. If you are an aspiring model, read the contract terms closely, ask who pays for training, portfolio shoots or courses, and be cautious about any request for upfront payment.
  • Check how applicants are scouted. Several sites describe an open casting call, a submission form or an email route, and the requirements vary by agency and year. Follow only the process published on the agency's own pages, prepare the photos it asks for, and never send sensitive documents until you have confirmed who you are dealing with.
  • As a client, send a clear brief with the date, location, usage, number of people and look you need. A reply from the booking team should confirm availability, the working hours and what usage is covered. Ask for those terms in writing before confirming, rather than relying on a chat message or a verbal agreement.
  • Confirm the details are current. Rosters, casting calls and contacts change often, and a few sites show older copyright years. Message the agency using the contact route it publishes, ask whether it is taking bookings or applicants, and compare two or three agencies before committing to a shoot or signing as talent.
