Are You Ready For Representation

As an actor or actress there comes a time when you feel you need to be represented by an agent. Deciding when that time is is up to you. But how to find the perfect match should not be trial and error. Finding an agent that is the best for you takes time and should not be rushed. The same efforts you would put into any relationship should  be considered here as well. An agent will only represent you if he or she truly believes you have what it takes. They would most likely be familiar with your work and be aware of your talents and skills. Those are things that make the manager/actress(or) relationship a better one and more likely to last.

Ask your teachers and mentors in the business for ideas. You could try some meet and greets, and perhaps find a representative that will work with you. This is sometimes a good way to find a representative because most junior agents who attend these events are required to bring in new talent. Since these junior agents will have a hard time enticing more established actors, the meet and greets provide them with opportunities to discover new talent like you.

Good luck searching for your match.
