Acting Tips
 Make
sure your headshots and resumes are professional. This is your marketing
tool! Your headshot must be current and your resume updated. Make
sure your resume is attached to your headshot and the agency information
is on your resume. Do not wait for your agent to get low on your
headshots. Send them in every few months.
· Agents must be able to reach you fast. If you do not have
a pager, get one! Please return phone calls & pages promptly.
Don't forget: The early bird gets the worm! When you return a call
or page make sure you have a pen and paper handy.
· Be sure to book out when you are not available for auditions
and bookings. If you are out of town give us a number where you
can be reached.
· You must have all contracts sent to your agent. Keep your
agent's contact information with you. If you receive checks directly
please pay your commission promptly and send a copy of the stub
along with your check.
· If you need to talk to your agent-make an appointment.
That way you will have their undivided attention.
· Please do not call your agent after you have worked inquiring
on how to get a copy of the job. Find out on the set how you can
obtain a copy.
· Your agent must have all your current information including
sizes, hair styles, addresses, phone numbers, etc.
· If you want your agent to look at contact sheets/pictures
please send a self-addressed-stamped-envelope so they can be returned.
· If you are multi-listed you must keep your agents posted
on any commercial conflicts you have. Do not forget to let them
know when you are released.
· Be realistic about what roles you are right for. Remember,
it is the quality of the auditions, not the quantity.
· Remain professional and respectful to your agent. They
are working for, not against, you.
