How to be your talent agent’s best client. Use these tips.
Agents Love Parents and Actors Who:
• Are always REACHABLE within an hour by phone, text or email.
• Within 2 hours (of an audition notice) confirm the date & time of auditions in the manner the agent has requested.
• Can find their own directions. Have a GPS.
• Commit and stick to the audition time.
• Arrive 15 minutes early to auditions!
• Do not MISS auditions!
• Know how & update photos & resumes promptly to casting sites, LA Casting, Actors Access etc.
• Be kind professional & practice GOOD MANNERS at all times. This includes the parking lot, audition room, lobby, and especially on-set. Anywhere you are in contact with other professionals or performers be polite.
• Minors MUST bring WORK PERMIT & School work to set.
• Renew WORK PERMITS on time.
• Keep contracts and other important paper work handy and organized.
• Prioritize staying available for their agent.
• Emails instead of phone calling to get answers to simple questions.
• Immediately let their agent know of any dates you are not available to audition. Vacations etc. This is called BOOKING OUT!
• Know how to book and sign up for their own photo shoots, classes, etc.
• STAY in ACTING CLASS so you are audition ready to book the job!
