ABSTRACT

Agents and talent buyers are more interested in their performing skills and how performers work with a script than their training, unrelated job experience, or their home studio equipment. Most talent agents work on a one-year contract, but many online agents do not require any formal agreement. Once signed—and depending on the relationship performers have with performers' agent—it might be a good idea to keep their agent up to date on their work. Agents are busy people and will appreciate performers' call more if their are prepared and know what performers want. To be perceived as a professional, performers must present themselves in a professional manner. A good agent will probably ask performers to read a script as part of the interview. Interview all their prospective agents as thoroughly as possible.
