Insights into Talent Agents with Phil Brock, Part 4.2

Phil Brock is a former actor and wants actors to be treated as he wanted to be treated when he was an actor. Part of the process of an actor auditioning for an agent, it should just be part of the audition process. If they are auditioning everyday, then no audition should be huge.
Be that actor that walks into the room and lights the room up. Don’t be the actor that sucks out the life of the audition room.

Part Three Insights into Talent Agents:
Exclusive Interview with Janine Jannicelli / Discoveries Talent Agency

Janine Jannicelli wishes you the best in all your endeavors and hopes you eventually hire the “right” agent for your own personal needs.  Janine asks that you keep in mind three things when looking for an agent:
1)  Don’t EVER pay a fee to an Agent to meet with you or sign you on.
2)  Don’t hire the first one you meet.  Interview with at least 3 before making your decision
3)  Make sure you “click” with them and they with you.  Nothing in this business is worse than having an agent represent you that you don’t feel good about, don’t feel important to and don’t feel like “Number 1” with.
