Should Voiceover Agencies charge upfront fees?

Did you know that in April 2004 the government made it illegal for voiceover agents to charge up-front registration fees?

If you are seeking a voiceover agent make sure that you are not charged a joining or registration fee. Neither should you be charged a monthly or annual membership fee. 

There are a lot of websites which do charge a monthly or annual fee but these are either Voiceover Directories which ARE allowed to charge a fee. 

Or they are dodgy agents who will take your money and not find you any voiceover work.  Ever. They are not bona fide voiceover agents.
