Important Talent Agency Information

Image
I just wanted to get some important information out there about talent agencies. I myself am not a licensed talent agent. I work with casting. I have considered opening a talent agency, however it is a daunting endeavor. The $50,000 surety bond required by the state of California is limiting to say the least. I do not take 10% commission or negotiate contracts for my Feature Film Actor Submission Service clients. It is simply a minimal one-time fee. Many actors think that once they do sign with a talent agency, they will begin landing auditions on a regular basis. But most find out quickly that auditions come far-and-few-between through their agent. The vast majority of reputable talent agencies in Los Angeles, New York, and Atlanta actually fill their client roster with a very large number of actors, although it is not easy to get signed with these agencies. The agents do not submit every single client for each role that every client fits, rather they only submit the top working actor...

Study Acting!

Are you an "Aspiring Actor" or are you a "Serious Professional Actor"? There are many "aspiring actors" out there who can be submitted and get called in to audition for major roles no matter where they live, based solely on their "looks" and "personality". Sometimes you need "connections", or a professional referral. I can do that for you. Then there are serious actors who live where auditions for lead roles take place, and have a great resume and body of work. However, acting is a serious profession that requires a constant dedication to learning and studying their craft, keeping their acting-machine tuned up and ready to audition at the highest level. Do not kid yourself into thinking that you do not have to do the hard work and learn, study, and educate yourself. Doctors, Attorneys, Certified Public Accountants, Computer Systems Analysts, etc., MUST constantly study and learn to be able to get hired and keep the jobs they h...
