Agents, Reels, and Other Soundbites from Class

Fantastic. That’s how I would describe this evening’s class. We had another mock cold read audition with some commercial copy. What was awesome about this evening was the postmortem (that’s what my undergrad program called it. Weird right?) discussion.

This evening I learned: which agency I should absolutely not submit to (I’m sorry I can’t share it, circle of trust and all); that there is absolutely nothing to be sorry about when you refuse to do something that you’re not comfortable with; the relationship with an agent is a partnership he/she is not your boss; and you need to market the hell out of yourself, agent or not.

Also a theme for the evening, and something you’ve read a few times here, create your own content.

A few more tidbits: you need a website; the reel may be on its way out, clips are on the cusp of being the “it” tool.
