Question

I have two productions coming up in the next 2 weeks and I was thinking about getting an acting agent, but I not quite sure whether to do it now or wait and do it later in the year. I need to some advice please. Thankyou

Answer 1

I think you should wait.. do the 2 plays your going to be in and if there are any more coming up also try and be in them, build your resume up and then look into getting an agent. Good Luck in your plays :)

Answer 2

Answer 3

You could invite agents to come to your performances (have two tickets waiting for each of them at the box office).



Make sure you research and invite the appropriate agent (children or teen division, it sounds like), and include a short introductory letter and a headshot (and 8x10, usually black and white photo of you from the shoulders up).

If you think you'll be better prepared later on and make a better impression, then wait awhile.

Answer 4

No offense to you, but "ACTING" agent is hardly an accurate title. Used Car Salesman would be more appropriate.

   Apparently many who come here are young, and so many think AGENT is some miracle worker.

   With what you describe, I hardly see anything relevant for what you're thinking. You already have work, use your own credentials to find more work.

   An agent, is someone you might consider hiring AFTER you no longer need one.

Just my 2 "scents"

Added thought. Thank you for the Thumb down. Honesty can be so REAL, and harsh, don't you find?
