|
Can I still take community theatre work on my own?
|
Usually I don’t mind but bear in mind that when you sign with an agent, he or she wants you to be available to
them. If you book out a lot because of a theatre show thus limiting you availability to your agent, it can be a
problem. Remember, your agent works on commission and if you’re not available to them, they don’t make
money and neither do you plus you miss out on auditions and getting in front of casting directors worth seeing.

Can I still pursue acting and have a full time job?
|
All auditions take place during the day so unless you have a really easy going boss, the answer would be no. I
require a very flexible schedule and it’s also not professional to make a habit of asking casting directors for a
time change. If your schedule can’t flexibly accommodate auditions, it’s best to wait when it can.

I only have a few student films and drama classes from high school on my resume. Can you help get me a
|
lead part in a feature film or a series lead in a new television show?
Acting, like any other profession, requires you to prove yourself and to work from the bottom up. A casting
director isn’t likely to see you if you don’t have a strong resume. Be realistic about what you can audition for
and most importantly, be patient!!! Nothing happens over night.

|
If I get an audition, do I have a choice whether to go or not?
|
All auditions must be attended. Unless something serious has happened, I expect my clients to go. A missed
audition doesn’t look good on the actor missing it and it’s a chance at money lost.

Do I have to bring my head shot and resume to my audition?
|
For commercials, unless requested by the casting director, you don’t have to. A snap shot
will be taken of you there. For film and television, it’s a must. You have to bring it to all film
and television auditions.
