How can I get an acting agent?

How can you get an acting agent without having to be totally rich?

  • Acting agents are hard to find and how and where can you get one without being rich?

  • Answer:

    Our company does sponsorship, where we select about 20 a year, and basically do there PR and such for free. We normally sign people at shows such as Natpe, Narib, La-Erotica, AVN,MTV awards, Bilboard and such. Get a great portfolio together, because you will be competing with others. Have a dvd or cd of your different pic, talent and such. Do Not, absolutely, do not, try to bulls**t at a sponsor, because it will be followed up and I have seen talent get blacklisted... trust me, it sucks to be blacklisted. Good luck.

Why do you have to be rich to get an agent? Depending on where you live, it's just a matter of the talent you have. LA and NY, you probably have to be established before an agent will have a meeting with you. Most other cities, all you have to do is call a Talent Agency and get an appointment for a meeting. If they want money up front, call a different agency. You don't pay an agent up front. An agent takes their pay out of the paycheck you get for a job. If you are not in the union, the agent can get up to 20% of your paid gig. If you are in the union, they get 10% of your paid gig.
