Talent agency fees typically work as follows:典型藝人經紀服務費如下運作：

Talent agencies represent artists, actors, musicians, models, and other creative professionals. In exchange for representing the client and helping them secure work opportunities, the agency charges a percentage of the client's earnings from those jobs.
藝人經紀人代表藝人、演員、音樂人、模特兒及其他具創作才藝之專業人士。作為客戶之代表並協助客戶取得工作機會，經紀人自客戶之工作所得中抽取相當比例報酬。

The standard fee structure is 10-20% of the client's gross income. Larger, more established agencies may charge towards the higher end of that range, while smaller or boutique agencies may charge closer to 10%. The percentage is negotiated upfront in the contract between the client and the agency.
標準收費結構為客戶總所得10%到20%，成立許多的經紀公司或經紀人最終會收取比上述金額還高，然而小型或微型之經紀公司則收取接近於客戶總所得10%。抽成的百分比係由客戶與經紀人間之契約協調而定。

The agency's fee is taken off the top of the client's pay before the client receives their portion. So if an actor is paid $10,000 for a role, and the agency fee is 15%, the agency would keep $1,500 and the actor would receive $8,500.
在客戶取走它們所得之前，經紀人即先取走其抽成的報酬。假如演員因其飾演的角色會有1千元報酬，而經紀人的報酬是客戶演員取的收入之15%，經紀人可取走1500元，剩餘8500元歸客戶演員所有。

Agencies provide a variety of services to justify their fee, such as:
經紀人提供多樣的服務以取得報酬，例如：
- Finding and negotiating job opportunities尋覓工作機會及為客戶協調工作機會。
- Handling contract and payment details處理契約事宜及報酬細節。
- Providing career guidance and development提供職涯發展方向。
- Arranging promotional activities安排提升客戶能見度。
- Managing the client's overall brand and image管理客戶所有品牌及圖像。

The fee structure allows agencies to be compensated based on the client's success, aligning their incentives. Higher-earning clients mean higher fees for the agency.
基於客戶的成功使得經紀人受有報酬並成為經紀人賣力為主之原動力，高收入客戶意指經紀人可獲更高之報酬，自不在話下。
