Whatever the cause, it’s my intention to empower you to be your own agent in that regional market. First, let’s determine exactly what it is you might be expecting from an agent. Then we’ll explore how you can take on these responsibilities in order to own it in your region! Agents build relationships with casting directors and other industry professionals. Over months and years, agents cultivate relationships with casting directors and other decision makers by consistently sending talented, prepared clients who show up on time, are easy to work with, audition well, book jobs, and make the casting director’s job easy. In turn, CDs have certain agencies they’ll call first when they have specific needs, based on good track records with their rosters. How do you do this as your own agent? Attend auditions for projects you’re right for, attend general auditions, take advantage of any opportunity where you can begin developing relationships with casting directors, directors, writers, and other decision-makers.

Signing with a new agent doesn’t mean that suddenly you can sit back and watch top-level bookings arrive on a silver platter. While a good agent should be advocating diligently for you out in the industry, they’re technically only required to get you an appointment that matches your professional experience once every 90 days.
That can mean a lot of downtime. So, do you just sit around and wait? No way! There are still important tasks that you need to be doing on a regular basis to provide your agent with the information they need to do their job. In this week’s #SignWithAnAgent video, Acting and Career Coach Ethan Paulini explains why an agent only makes 10% and what your responsibilities are once you’re signed to ensure a healthy, working relationship with your new representation.
So now that you have your checklist of responsibilities, you may need some help putting a system in place to keep up with everything. Mention “Elise” when booking your first coaching session with Ethan, and you'll get the discounted price of just $20.17. It's a special deal just for our community.

In the search for new representation, it’s important to get to know who an agent is before you submit your materials to them. Yes, you can buy mailing labels for all the agents in town, but don’t let that fool you into thinking all the work is done for you.
If you’re not invested in learning about who an agent is, how can you expect them to invest in you and your acting career? Connecting with your potential agent as a person and not just a means to adding credits to your resume greatly increases your chances of landing a meeting and a contract. In this week’s #SignWithAnAgent video, Acting and Career Coach Ethan Paulini teaches you how to get super clear on what you’re looking for in a potential agent and how to target the specific ones that might be a right fit for you.

Finding an agent is a lot like dating. Just because someone looks “good on paper” doesn’t mean they’re the right partner for you. The same is true for finding that special agent or manager to represent you to casting directors, producers and directors.
It’s important to have good chemistry with your representation, but a lot of actors overlook the big picture when they are deciding on who to sign with. In this week’s #SignWithAnAgent video, Acting and Career Coach Ethan Paulini explains why it’s better to sign with a lower level agent you have a great rapport with than a higher level agent that leaves you feeling frustrated. Get ready to start thinking outside the resume for your next agent! If you’re loving these tips from Ethan as much as I am, check out his special offer just for our community.
