How do you get an agent?

I have an agent so trust me this answer is true. You can look into them on the internet, type in agencies on google.I suggest The Osbrink Agency, who I find very good: one does not pay the agent regularly but for every job you get, one pays them 20 percent of what one makes. The way and how much you pay the agent may vary depending on which agency you go for.You can find an agent on the internet. Send them your resume and picture (your picture really should be a professionally taken picture by a professional photographer). If they are interested, they will call you in for an audition, and if they're not, then you may have to try another one- if you are really interested in acting pursue your dream!Remember, act because you love it, not because you want to be a superstar.AnswerIn reference to the answer above - agents get 10%. Managers get 15%. That is industry standard. Anyone who wants 20% is not worth it. They're taking you for a ride.Another way to get an agent is by getting a manager first. Part of their job is getting you an agent because they are not legally allowed to contact casting directors, but agents can. Managers can talk to producers and studio execs, but not casting, and they aren't allowed to negotiate your deals, so an agent is necessary. To get a manager, you do the same thing you would for an agent (see above, and if you have something on disc to send them, do that), plus take acting lessons from a reputable acting coach that also does showcases. Actors who do showcases on their own don't attract managers, but name coaches do. You can also take a "class" with casting directors who will give you scenes to perform and give you notes. How you incorporate their notes into your performance tells them whether you can take direction or not and if the casting director likes you, they may call you for an upcoming role on whatever project they are working on.


What do casting agencies do?

A casting agency works as the middleman between talent/modeling agencies and clients searching for people to fit their projects. Models and actors are notified by their agencies or by the casting agency themselves (if they are freelance) about upcoming casting and opportunities, which they are able to audition for. Many casting agencies provide the space for the casting and auditions to take place and handle the correspondence between both parties.


How much does a casting director make?

The salary of a casting director will vary depending on the size of the project. A casting call directors salary can range from about $300 to into the thousands.

Where can you become an actress for tv and movies?

It starts with auditions. That's where agents are handy. If there are open casting calls in or near your city you can freely go to them without an agent. If a casting director is in town, your agent can set something up. Or you can get your agent to send in your photo and resume to casting offices since they are connected that way. You along cannot send this. Without an agent you are just a face in the crowd and won't be taken seriously or your photo and resume may get lost. And without an agent your safety is not secure, because if you have to put an address, and if you put your address on your resume and send it to casting, if you get rejected and casting throws it in the trash, any weirdo can pick it up. But if you put the address of your agent, you are very safe. Hope this helped.
