Should I get an Agent?
The answer to this question is undoubtedly 'yes'! Some people can get work without an agent, but in this day and age, if you want a successful career we believe you will need to have a good agent, who will offer you all of the following (and more)- They help find and then secure auditions for you.
- They gather constructive feedback for you during auditions.
- They negotiate a contractual deal on your behalf when you get offered work.
- They do a lot of behind-the-scenes work making sure the right people know who you are, and what you are up to.
- They encourage industry professionals to be interested in you and your work, and invite them to see you perform.
- They fight your corner if a company is in breach of contract.
- They offer support and guidance at all times and help you make difficult decisions about the development of your career,
- They are there to be the 'bad guy' who liaises with producers when necessary, so you only have to focus on performing.
Overall, a good agent will provide you with consistent and valuable support in an industry which is forever changing.
