Dearest Actors,
I hope this finds you well and happy and firing!
Today I want to chat to you about Agents. Finding a great Agent and having a very successful relationship is so important. How do we do that?
These days its a lot harder to get through the door, let alone make a really good choice. Most Agents will ask for a Showreel, a Headshot and a Biography. Bear in mind they receive hundreds of packages from Actors weekly. So how do you stand out from the rest?
Firstly your work and your reputation must proceed you. If you are performing in plays invite Agents, if you are working on short films for your showreel, put them on your showreel and bio and keep the Agents you are interested in in the loop.
Of course there is nothing like building a natural rapport with your favorite Agent and the best way of doing that is networking, meeting them personally or by introduction through a friend.
Ok great, you have made it through the door. Your Agent works for YOU! In employing the right agent you might like to be comfortable around them yes? You may like to find out how many people they represent, how many people work in the office, do the Actors they represent have work, a profile, for instance? What is the majority of work they get for their actors? If its Musical Theatre and you want to focus on Film and TV, that will hardly work, don't you think?
So here is some food for thought for you. Don't forget to Download my E-Book, THE SECRET OF YOUR SUCCESS AS AN ACTOR right now! Its on reading lists everywhere including NIDA and a Must Read for just $9.95 ok?
Always here to help,
