What to do when your Talent Agent calls
If you don't know what to ask your Agent calls
you with an audition notice, you can use the
following questions as a guide. Be sure to use a
minimum of 4 out of the 10 questions!
Your Agent calls and says:
"We have an audition for you on Tuesday..."
You reply:
1. What or who is it for?
2. Is it for TV, radio, film, commercial, stage, etc...?
3. How much is it paying?
4. Will the Producer or Client be there?
5. Where is it?
6. Is there a map to the audition location?
7. What do I wear?
8. What is my audition time?
9. Is there a script, specific instructions, etc...?
10. Is this a cattle call and will there be callbacks?
These are 10 easy questions to ask your Talent Agent or Manager.
Do not be afraid to ask!
It is up to you to take charge of your career.
Remember!
Every time you pick up the phone from your Agent, it is
costing you money! The wear and tear on your car and
clothes. The gas money to get you back and forth from
auditions. The phone bill, voice mail or answering service
messaging costs. Maybe even time off from your other job.
So? If you are basically paying to go to auditions,
why show up without the intent to WIN the audition?
