GET DISCOVERED! 5 Week Audition Bootcamp and Agent Showcase Los Angeles June 20 - August 1, 2015

Talent Manager Wendy Alane Wright has released her new e-book “How To Break Into Show Business; Secrets Of A Hollywood Talent Manager.” Wendy Alane Wright is a Hollywood Talent Manager with WAW Entertainment. Her clients have appeared in numerous national commercials, movies, webisodes, short films, and on television networks such as ABC, NBC, Comedy Central, BIO, Lifetime, plus many more. Previous to being a Manager and a Talent Agent at Burn Down Entertainment, she assisted many high profile Managers, Agents and Publicists in the careers of Neil Patrick Harris, Johnny Galecki, Sarah Michelle Geller, The Four Tops, The Bee Gees, Meatloaf, Whoopi Goldberg, Steve Guttenberg, The Cranberries Michael Jackson, Barbra Streisand, Kenny Rogers, and Neil Diamond. Wendy is also a Recording Artist, Actress, Author and Music Producer all  giving her a 360-degree perspective of the industry.

If you are going to be in Los Angeles this summer this 5-week audition bootcamp would be very valuable for your children. When meeting new kids, Agents are looking for kids that know how to speak up, make eye contact, be expressive, not shy and have fun with the material they are given to audition with.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MY CHILD MEETS WITH AN AGENT?

A typical meeting with an agent looks like this. They say hello to you and your child. They ask you to have a seat in the lobby and want to speak with your child on their own. They do this because children tend to hide behind their parents when they are around and this would prevent the agents from seeing how the child does on their own. When a child is going into an audition or working on the set, the parent isn't going to be standing there in the way, so agents have to see if the child can carry on their own conversations without prompts from the parents. 

The Agent typically brings just the child into their office and sits down across from them. The agent will ask your child questions like, "How old are you? What grade are you in?" The child will either answer with lots of energy and look directly at the agent while answering, which is great. OR the child will look down, mumble, speak too softly and not have much personality.  This isn't very appealing to the agent. Shyness is absolutely NOT what we are looking for.

The agent will continue to ask questions and hope the child starts to speak up and get more vibrant. It's a good sign if the child does. It means it only takes a few seconds for that child to warm up to someone new, or new circumstances. That is a great skill because that is precisely what the child will have to do in every single audition the agent would be sending the child on. 

The agent only wants to work with kids who have that skill, otherwise the child will go into the audition room, not  impress the casting directors and someone else will book the job- meaning the agent won't make any money. That's not good.

So the third test will be the Agent handing the child a commercial script and asking the child to read it. That's called a COLD READING. It means the child has never seen dialogue before. There are a lot of professional techniques for doing a Cold Reading that I will discuss momentarily, but for now the most important thing the agent is looking for is enthusiasm and energy when they say the words on the page. 

"My mommy makes me eat Waffles for Breakfast. She smothers them in syrup and gives me a tall glass Alta Dena milk to go with it. I love my mom, she's great!"

So the agent isn't expecting the child to memorize this yet, but they are hoping to see spark of excitement or mischief in the child's eyes, enthusiasm, lots of energy in the voice. Even if they screw up on the words they want to see personality!!  It's the personality that matters first, and then the words. 

They also hope the child looks up at the agent while they are speaking, says it with clarity and means it. They want to see a genuineness. If they see these things the agent will likely be interested in signing the child. If the child is energetic and can speak up great! The agent has just found another kid to work with who can maybe make the agency money.

On the other hand, if the child isn't enthusiastic, speaks kind of monotone, mumbles, or doesn't look up, the agent probably has made up their mind and is ready to send the child back to the parent and say thank you for coming. 

If the agent really likes the child's look he/she may try one more time to redirect the child by saying, "can you say that with a big smile on your face?" And if the child does it the exact same way again, without correcting themselves, the interview is over. The agent will assume one of two things, 1)the child isn't ready and needs more training or 2) the child doesn't have the personality for this business. Either way the agent isn't interested and they have 10 more kids to see that day. In this case you will be quickly ushered out. It's up to you if you go get your child training and try again in 6 months.
 
If your child hasn't been kicked out of the office yet, the agent will sometimes ask for the paper back and ask the child to do it again without the paper. Most kids memorize really fast so they will notice if the child can or cannot memorize quickly, but that isn't critical. Now they want to see if your child has the general jist of what the ad is about and can say something similar to it but again, they are still looking mainly for how much personality the child puts into it. 

The children that show energy and enthusiasm, can speak clearly and have fun with the material are the ones the agent will want to sign. You will be invited back into the room with the agent who will explain they are interested in signing your child. They will explain that your child needs headshots, training and must be available for the auditions they will be setting up for you. If you are interested in placing your child with the agency, they will give you a 1 year contract to fill out and have you create 3 online acting profiles for your child which the agent will use to submit to casting offices. (Actors Access, Casting Networks, Casting Frontier)

You will usually be handed a list of photographers you can go shoot professional headshots with and acting classes you should put your child into immediately. In the interview your kiddo may have done a pretty good job with the Cold Reading but they are going to need to get GREAT at it in order to compete without thousands of other children for the same job. Agents know the kids that nail the personality interviews, who can speak pretty well can learn techniques they need for reading commercial material. They will expect them to grow in their acting classes as they learn how to interact with the products and other actors.

Kids usually start their careers in commercials which then leads to small roles in TV and film and then to larger roles in TV and film. Some kids get series regular roles on TV programs while others do voice overs for cartoons and video games. Kids are very busy in this industry training and working. Thousands of kids across the country are trying to break into the business. The better trained and prepared your child is, the better chance they have of getting signed to a great agency.

If you are looking for an agency there are many companies that offer showcases to exhibit your children's talents in front of agencies. But they typically charge thousands of dollars and usually don't offer good enough training. I have seen kids at showcases come out of a 3 month training program and still not know they have to look up from the page when doing a cold reading audition for an agent. That makes me so mad because I know those parents paid $5,000- $10,000 to have their kids trained and seen by agents. If you put your child into 5 weeks of training with me and you'd better believe they will be ready to audition and interview with agents. It burns me up when parents get taken advantage of.
  
That's why... 

I decided I will offer a 5-week Audition Bootcamp with an Agent Showcase for brand new kids. I do it several times a year. Unlike every other place out there I only charge $500. I refuse to over charge parents. I don't believe in it. My next training and showcase is coming up on June 20 - August 1, 2015. If you want to enroll your child email me for more information at wawentertainment@yahoo.com

As always keep coming back to my Blog of insider information. I discover kids all the time, get them agents and get them working. Right now I'm excited because I found this gorgeous 9 year old kid in a rural town Mississippi. I spent a few month developing her skills, working with the incredible mother and now this stunner is signed to BMG Models, one of the largest and most reputable modeling agenices in the world. There are a lot of beautiful kids in the world. but they don't all get signed to BMG. You have to know what you are doing. Well now that I have mentioned her I simply have to show her to you:)

Here is another interesting article from PARENTS.COM
http://www.parents.com/kids/style/modeling/child-model/
 

What Happens If An LA Agent or Manager Wants To Represent My Child?

Every year acting/modeling showcases are also held throughout the country that bring in Managers and Agents from Los Angeles to see the kids. Showcases are also held in California where kids from out of state fly in to California to be seen by Agents and Managers here.

Daily I get asked by parents "what happens if an Agent or Manager from LA wants to represent my child? Now pay attention because this is critical info that many showcase companies won't tell you because they are too busy taking your money and preying on the stars in your eyes.

Typically here is the way it REALLY works. You either submit DIRECTLY to a Manager or Agent OR:

1) You will attend a showcase or seminar. 

2) Your child showcases their  talent by doing a monologue or commercial they have prepared.

3) If agents and managers are interested they will give your child a callback to see them again, typically on final day of the Showcase.

4) At the callbacks,  you will speak to the agents and managers one by one. Likely they will ask you if you plan to move to LA, or be in LA during pilot season for 4 months,? Or they will want to know if you will be coming to stay in LA for 4 months during episodic season September - November?

5) if you say no there won't be very much they can do for you as 99% of auditions will be in Los Angeles. Here you are thinking, I've heard they can put my child on tape for auditions. Well the truth about that is very few roles ever get cast by out of state tapes. More likely you may go on tape for  several projects and as casting gets to know the  children that tape, they will want to meet some of them in person when they come  to LA to stay for a few months.

Fyi kids on go on tape for bigger roles in Film and TV.
Commercials, Co-Star roles and smaller roles in films are always cast in person and THESE are the projects that typically hire new people like your child.

6) If you are serious about pursuing acting with your child 99% of TV and Film auditions take place in LA. So if you are  planning on being in LA for an extended period of time Agents and Managers will ask you to come back out and meet with them again, often to introduce you to other agents in their office. Some agencies make signing decisions as a team. If they like you enough they will sign a contract with you then.

7) You will be asked to create online profile with the casting websites; LA CASTING, ACTORS ACCESS and CASTING FRONTIER. You will most likely be asked to shoot new headshots that are appropriate for the LA market.

8) When you are here in LA for 3-4 months, they will be submitting you on projects. Maybe you will get some auditions, maybe you won't. Maybe you will book some jobs, maybe you won't. No one knows. Every agent and manager just takes a chance if they think your potential can make money for them.

Why do you need to be in LA for LA auditions? It works like this: An agent or manager sees a possible role that might be right for your child. They submit your child's picture. If casting wants to see your child they will ask you to come in with only 1-3 days notice. If you get a callback it could be the following week. Will you fly home in between? Your agent / manager will be submitting you every day- what if you get an audition this Tuesday and another one on Friday, then no auditions for 1 week and then another audition on Wednesday and a callback on Friday then no auditions for 2 weeks and then a callback the following week... are you planning on flying back and forth every week? No.

Agents and Managers expect you to be here for auditions they get you. And the truth is we don't know how many auditions you will ever get. Most people are not going to uproot their entire family for the possibility of having some auditions. People who do this are the ones who realize that their child is extremely special and want to pursue acting professionally for many years. They understand the best place to do that is in Los Angeles as there are more opportunities here, PLUS they have the financial means, or type of jobs which allows them to move here, or be here for extended periods of time.

If you are planning on coming to Los Angeles for 3 months so you can get an Agent and Manager in Los Angeles who can also submit your child for projects here in California

There are 3 options of when to come:

1) Summer:  June, July and Aug

2) Episodic season: Sept, Oct, Nov

3) Pilot season: Feb, March, April

9) VERY IMPORTANT Whether you live here in LA, or wherever you live, acting is  skill that has to be mastered. You should always be working hard building your child's resume by doing student films, short films', webseries and theater. I highly suggest you read my ebook HOW TO BE A STAR RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE to learn the many ways you can build your child's resume and experience right where you live. You can find it at http://www.secretsofahollywoodtalentmanager.com

My company WAW ENTERTAINMENT talent management in Los Angeles is always looking for talented & beautiful kids ages 6-14 for Film, TV, Webseries and Commercials. If you live in Los Angeles or plan to be here for 2-3 months between Feb-July or Sept-Nov. submit Headshots, Resumes and a personality clip to wawentertainment@yahoo.com If I am interested I will contact you.

Please include: Photos of your child, age, height, weight, city and state you live in and a 30 second video of your child talking about something important to them. Sports, friends, school, food, movies etc. You can record the video on your iPhone, upload it to You Tube, mark video as unlisted and include the link in your email to us. If we are interested we will contact you. We want to get an idea of their personality. We look forward to reviewing your submissions.

There are vultures in this business preying on the dreams of parents and children who are entering show business. You can rely on me and my blogs to always guide you in the right direction. I would also like to suggest you get your information from these reputable sources as well: CHILDREN IN FILM, BIZ PARENTS and HOLLYWOOD MOM


Typically these showcases are all very expensive ranging from $2,000-$17,000 and there are LESS expensive ways to do this. Really those kinds of prices just make me see red. Instead read my e-Book "HOW TO BE A STAR RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE."  Spend $21 on the book and save yourself thousands of dollars - and learn how to submit your child to the EXACT SAME AGENTS AND MANAGERS at the expensive showcases. Don't get ripped off.

I have been to showcases to see kids and happen to ask parents... "So by the way, how much did you pay to be here?" I have heard $14,500 I nearly fell on the floor!!! The sad thing is the group of agents and managers at the big $$$ showcases are the SAME EXACT AGENTS & MANAGERS at the smaller $500 showcases in LA at places like ACTOR TRAINING IN LA or TALENT TRAINING AND PERFORMANCE STUDIOS (one of my companies) that take place several times throughout the year. A parent could fly to LA, with their child ($1,200) rent an apt for 1 month, (1,200) do four weeks of acting classes 3-5 times a day ($900) and pay for the showcase ($500) = $3,800 and meet the same exact agents AND get 10x better training.

OR they can simply send their kids headshot, resume and 1 minute personality clip to those agents by email (FREE) and if the agents or managers are interested, they can fly out to LA and meet with them.

BE SMART and INFORMED otherwise trying to get into this business can be very costly and get you nowhere.

Start Your Acting Auditions WHILE you are in College. Dont wait to gradutate!

Wendy Alane Wright is a Hollywood Talent Manager with WAW Entertainment. Her clients have appeared in numerous national commercials, movies, webisodes, short films, and on television networks such as ABC, NBC, Comedy Central, BIO, Lifetime, plus many more. Previous to being a Manager and a Talent Agent at Burn Down Entertainment, she assisted many high profile Managers, Agents and Publicists in the careers of Neil Patrick Harris, Johnny Galecki, Sarah Michelle Geller, The Four Tops, The Bee Gees, Meatloaf, Whoopi Goldberg, Steve Guttenberg, The Cranberries Michael Jackson, Barbra Streisand, Kenny Rogers, and Neil Diamond. Wendy is also a Recording Artist, Actress, Author and Music Producer all  giving her a 360-degree perspective of the industry.


Hey college students! You want to be an actor so you enrolled in college and are taking acting classes or you are majoring in theater. You are probably thinking when you graduate college that's when you are going to start your acting career, right? But let me tell you something that will really help you- Professional acting is the kind of business that works better the younger you start. By the time you graduate college you will be 4 years older other actors will already have professional credits and those are the actors you will be competing with for the same roles.

So here is my very important advice for college students in or around Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta, Dallas

1) AUDITION FOR FILM AND TV WHILE YOU ARE IN COLLEGE
While you are studying in college, its is important that you are also auditioning for film and TV in NYC or LA at the same time - or the closest big city that has casting directors and auditions.

You need to start meeting casting directors as soon as possible so they start to get familiar with you and your work. Do NOT wait until you graduate. Get an agent, go on auditions and start doing some professional work in commercials, TV, film and theater DURING the years you are in college. I'll say it again, you do NOT want to wait until you graduate to start building those relationships. Start as soon as you can while you are young. Do BOTH school and audition at the same time.

2) TRAIN. TRAIN. TRAIN.
Even though you are taking acting in college, you need to take a professional acting classes to develop your cold reading and audition skills. Once these are strong you are ready to get your first agent and start audioning for casting directors.

3) ALWAYS BE ACTING

Do theater productions at college and in the community. Take acting classes in audition techniques, acting, scene study and on camera. Some of your classes will be at collegeand others at professional schools. There is no reason you can't take an acting class in the closet big city 1 or 2 days a month. You need this professional training and so does your resume.

4) SUBMIT YOURSELF FOR PROJECTS

Create an account on Backstage.com upload your picture and create a resume. You can submit yourself to all kinds of acting projects like webseries, student films, short films, and commercials. Do it. You need to get experience and you need the credits on your resume.

5) BUILD YOUR RESUME

You should be building your resume while you are in college by adding a new acting class to it every year, AND by adding acting jobs that you do in short films, commercials, webseries, theater productions, and small roles on TV show etc.The reason I tell you this is the older you are the harder it is in this business. By the time you graduate college in 4 years you want to have at least 2 or 3 TV co-star or guest star credits on your resume.

What is a Co Star Credit?
A co-star is usually one day of work on a TV show with 5 lines or under.

What is a Guest Star Credit?
A guest start is usually 3-5 days of work on a TV show.

6) GET INFORMED ABOUT HOW THE BUSINESS WORKS

Read my book "How To Be A Star Right Where You Are." You can find it on my website SecretsOfAHollywoodTalentManager.com

When agents and managers are looking for new clients, we typically start with kids ages 7-19. They are easier to get auditions for. When you become an adult you will be comptering with actors who already have some TV credits. So YOU need to get some too! That makes agents fell more comfortable signing adults. So get some TV credits and build your resume while you are still in college.

Good luck!!!!!

15 Ways To Book More Acting Jobs

Wendy Alane Wright is a Hollywood Talent Manager with WAW Entertainment. Her clients have appeared in numerous national commercials, movies, webisodes, short films, and on television networks such as ABC, NBC, Comedy Central, BIO, Lifetime, plus many more. Previous to being a Manager and a Talent Agent at Burn Down Entertainment, she assisted many high profile Managers, Agents and Publicists in the careers of Neil Patrick Harris, Johnny Galecki, Sarah Michelle Geller, The Four Tops, The Bee Gees, Meatloaf, Whoopi Goldberg, Steve Guttenberg, The Cranberries Michael Jackson, Barbra Streisand, Kenny Rogers, and Neil Diamond. Wendy is also a Recording Artist, Actress, Author and Music Producer all  giving her a 360-degree perspective of the industry.

Every Actor has TWO  jobs. 

1) Get well trained. Train. Train. Train. And when you are the best in your class, switch to a class where everyone is better than you  and train until you are the best there too!

2) Be PROACTIVE every day. Book as much work as you can ON YOUR OWN. With or without an Agent or Manager. Agents and Managers are not responsible for building your career...YOU are.

When an actor is proactive and trains intensely, they become very interesting to agents and managers and can often find great representation who can add to their own efforts. The # 1 question I am asked by actors is “How do I book more acting jobs?” The answer is to hustle to find your own work. Introduce yourself to filmmakers, writers, producers, directors. You must get good at selling yourself.  And when you hand industry people your marketing package it should be top notch.

DEMO REEL
Your demo reel should be high quality HD with great sound and lighting; even if it is only 1 scene.  Make sure it is a strong piece of acting; very funny, scary, or even creepy is interesting. The character you are playing should be layered. It may start out with the character seeming like a sweet innocent person, but turns out they are hiding a terrible secret. Have a character Arc. Make sure your demo reel should is no more than 2 minutes, otherwise people will turn it off. 

HEADSHOTS
Your headshots should be professional, well lit, hair and makeup done, and your eyes should be expressing real emotion. Your headshot should also reflect the types of character you are most likely to play.

RESUME
Your resume should be formatted neatly and correctly. Filled with acting and training credits. I like to see 10+ shorts, student films and webseries on an actors resume. That tells me they have been working.

NETWORK
Finally you want to become exceptional at keeping in touch with people, offering your services, and following up using Post Cards, One Sheets and Castability Sheets. Every time you meet someone in the business that you hit it off with or work with add them to your contact book. Then every 3-6 months send them a note telling them what you booked lately and use your postcards, once sheets or castability sheets. Those are more creative and interesting to look at than a letter or an email. Remember to make relationships about what you can GIVE to the relationship, not what you can take from it. Add value.

Here are 15 specific ways you can get MORE acting jobs.

1. Do many Student Films
2. Do many Short Films
3. Produce your own films, shorts, webseries. Don't wait for other to make your career.Submit your projects to festivals.
4. Produce a Play. Cast yourself in it. Rent a Theater. Invite your friend and industry contacts.
5. Network on Kickstarter and Indiegogo to find directors, actors and writers to work with.
6. Backstage; read it every day and submit there.
7. Do tons of Theatre
8. Read Hollywood Reporter, Daily Variety. Look for projects and network.
9. Attend Film Festivals - Stay after films and meet the film makers. Give them your actor business cards and get theirs. Stay in touch, offer your help on their projects.
10. Volunteer with SAG Charity Programs
11. Join Film Making Groups
12. Create Your Own Film Making Group.
13. Attend Targeted CD Workshops
14. Do Stand Up, Join an Improv Troupe
15. Submit yourself every day to Actors Access and La Casting.

If you live outside of the Los Angeles you can benefit greatly from my newest e-book, "How To Become A Star Right Where You Are."

You do not need to move to LA to become an actor or singer. Times have changed! I'll tell you how:)

HOW DO I GET STARTED ACTING? 5 PROVEN WAYS TO START ACTING RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE

Every day I have actors asking me how they can get on TV or start their acting career. I love that actors have a goal and a dream. But they need to pepper that with a dose of reality too. If you want a career in acting you have to START ACTING RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE. That is how actors start. They start in plays right in their hometown. Whether you live in Florida, Oregon, or Russia you must join a local theater in your own state and town and act in plays. You should be doing plays at your high school or college if you are still in school.

If you want to become a famous actor my advice to you is... Stop waiting to get to Los Angees to be an actor. Stop waiting until you get an Agent. If you really want to be an actor, you should prove it way, way, way before you get to LA. You should be doing as much acting work as you can right where you are. Real actors don't wait until they get to LA. What can you do? Learn more HERE

5 STEPS FOR STARTING YOUR ACTING CAREER RIGHT WHERE YOU LIVE.

1. New actors pay attention - If you want to be an actor, then start to act right where you are. TRAIN. TRAIN. TRAIN. Take acting classes right in the town you live in, or the closest town that has acting classes. You have to start your training as soon as you think you want to become an actor. Only well trained actors usually have successful careers as actors. People don't put you on TV if you can't act. Therefore your training is EXTREMELY important. After you have trained and gotten some experience in your local town, you might move to a bigger city that has better acting teachers and TRAIN SOME MORE.

Think about this. A professional ice skater in the Olympics doesn't wait until they get to the Olympics to start training. An Olympic skater gets to the Olympics because they never stopped training. They started training right in their home town. They worked at it until they got better and better and better. The better they got, the more people noticed. The more people noticed, the more opportunities they were offered. It works the same way for acting.

2. Act in plays right where you live. Audition for local theaters. Do school plays. Act in community theater, professional theater. When you are getting written up in the newspaper for your amazing performances... then you have proven yourself in your own town/state/country. You need to make a name for yourself in the small town or small pond you are from... before you jump into a huge pond like LA. Casting Directors look for the actors that stand out.

3. Make your own acting projects. Put on plays, put together a team of other actors who love it as much as you do - and if they have the professional equipment -  make short films together. Find writers, a director, camera man, sound man and good strong actors. Create your own film making team. Enter your own short films you make in the Film Festivals.

4. Keep taking acting classes wherever you are. You can never stop training as an actor.

5. Read my e-book "How To Be A Star Right Where You Are!"  To learn 23 Ways To Break Into Your Own Market And Start Building An Acting Career  Get the e-book HERE

After you have done all of that for the next 3 years, then you can think about moving to LA. Being an actor is not something you only have to do in LA. If you want to be an actor, BE an actor right where you are first.

Here is a resume of a 16 year old in Kentucky. She is serious about becoming an actor and her resume PROVES it. Look at the training she has had and the theater she has done. How does yours compare?  Click on this to see Alicen's resume. This is what you need to start building your resume into.

ALICEN ABLER - Resume | Actors Access

So again...my advice to you is... Stop waiting to get to LA to be an actor. Stop waiting to get an Agent. If you really want to be an actor, you should prove it far before you get to LA. You should be doing as much acting work as you can right where you are. Real actors don't wait until they get to LA.

Philip Seymour Hoffman said this best:

Follow your dreams.

The Top 5 Way To Make Your Agent Happy!

Wendy Alane Wright is a Hollywood Talent Manager with WAW Entertainment. Her clients have appeared in numerous national commercials, movies, webisodes, short films, and on television networks such as ABC, NBC, Comedy Central, BIO, Lifetime, plus many more. Previous to being a Manager and a Talent Agent at Burn Down Entertainment, she assisted many high profile Managers, Agents and Publicists in the careers of Neil Patrick Harris, Johnny Galecki, Sarah Michelle Geller, The Four Tops, The Bee Gees, Meatloaf, Whoopi Goldberg, Steve Guttenberg, The Cranberries Michael Jackson, Barbra Streisand, Kenny Rogers, and Neil Diamond. Wendy is also a Recording Artist, Actress, Author and Music Producer all  giving her a 360-degree perspective of the industry.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR AGENT HAPPY!

Being successful in this business is NOT about getting an agent and then hoping they submit you, while you sit around waiting around to hear from them. It's NOT about opportunities falling in your lap. That’s not what it is about.

It's about working hard to get roles and build your experience, training, and relationships with people in the industry who can give you more opportunities.

# 5 KEEP YOUR AGENT IN THE LOOP

If you do have an agent, it is your responsibility to make sure your agent gets to know you and the depth of your talent by continually inviting them to see your plays, sending them new acting clips every few months, inviting them to your acting classes and project premieres. If you want them to believe in you and be fighting for you to get opportunities, they really have to know how talented you are and what you are capable of. They don’t learn this in the 15 minute meeting in which they choose to sign you and give it a shot with you. It is your job to grow and nurture that relationship. Same with your manager. Keep in touch with them. Not in an annoying way. Don't ask what have they been submitting you on? Don't complain they aren't getting you out enough. Unless you are with one of the BIG 3 agencies, most agencies have to submit you fifty times before you get an audition. Be sure you and your agent have a game plan and do your part.

# 4 GRATITUDE. BEING THANKFUL AND SHOWING IT
Agents and Managers are happier when they feel appreciated. So be sure to thank them for the work they are doing on your behalf. Cards and Gifts go a long way. (not lazy emails) Hand written Cards.

No extravagant gifts. Stay in the $20-$40 range. Candy at easter, flowers on valentines day, starbucks cards, tickets to plays or baseball games. Find to what is important to them - a dog treat for their dog? These tokens of appreciation nurture your relationship with your reps, and make your agent and managers feel appreciated, which helps to ingratiate you to them.

# 3 BE PROACTIVE
Every agent wants a proactive actor. One who is always busy making short films, indie films, and webisodes. Actors that are collaborating with other actors and film makers to shoot their own projects.  Actors who are continuously and tirelessly building their relationships with Casting Directors, Producers, Writers and other Actors who are also film makers. Agents like actors who are  self submitting relentlessly and creating every opportunity for themselves that they can. That is what working actors do. That's the kind of actor who makes and agent (or manager ) happy.

An Actor should be acting whether they are represented or not. A singer should be out singing in public and recording their own songs whether they have a record deal or not. I worry about any one who says they are an actor or singer but you can't go watch them do it anywhere. When you are aggressively pursuing your career, you should be out in the world doing your craft every week, every day, anywhere you can. As a singer, I sang with a band in LA bars, recorded with tons of different music producers, sang casuals at weddings on weekends with a booking agency, every week continuously - even when I had songs on the radio.  I was still out singing at every chance I could get, on anything, with anyone. You never stop.

# 2 YOU MUST GIVE YOUR AGENTS OUTSTANDING TOOLS TO SELL YOU WITH

You must provide your agents with top of the line headshots that look exactly like you (on a great day) You need to give them a GREAT demo reel of you. It needs to blow people out of the water. You need to give them a resume that is always growing with acting jobs and acting training. Without these critical tools, agents will have a very difficult, if not impossible time of selling you to talent buyers (casting directors and producers) and people who have no idea of what you can do except what is on your demo reel. A lousy reel wont tell them much except there are better actors out there.

Your materials are a reflection of how seriously you take your career and how well you understand the business and the sheer competitiveness of it. The majority of actors skate by for years on crappy demo materials and headshots, then scratch their heads wondering why its taking so long to get anyone to hire them.

Think realistically about your current tools. Did you skimp on your headshots or shoot with the best. If you cant afford great headshots, wait until you can. WATCH THIS VIDEO:http://youtu.be/NaDI3YLRrnQ

# 1 THE NUMBER ONE WAY TO MAKE YOUR AGENT HAPPY
Nothing takes the place of you booking jobs. Nothing does. You MUST book jobs in order for any rep to be happy enough to keep you.  Be prepared for auditions. Show up on time...which means early. Get coached before auditions. Get call backs. Book jobs. That is what it is all about for agents and their agencies. If you are not booking the auditions you go on or at the very least getting callbacks, you need to re-evaluate what you are doing. Maybe you need better training, better coaching, be in better shape, change your attitude, your energy. It's your job to fix the problem...or go find another line or work.

I'd like you take a moment and evaluate your current efforts. Write down everything you are doing now to build your career. Then write down everything you could also be doing to raise the stakes and up your game. Now go do it.

Advice from Casting Directors On How To Get More Acting Jobs.

Wendy Alane Wright is a Hollywood Talent Manager with WAW Entertainment. Her clients have appeared in numerous national commercials, movies, webisodes, short films, and on television networks such as ABC, NBC, Comedy Central, BIO, Lifetime, plus many more. Previous to being a Manager and a Talent Agent at Burn Down Entertainment, she assisted many high profile Managers, Agents and Publicists in the careers of Neil Patrick Harris, Johnny Galecki, Sarah Michelle Geller, The Four Tops, The Bee Gees, Meatloaf, Whoopi Goldberg, Steve Guttenberg, The Cranberries Michael Jackson, Barbra Streisand, Kenny Rogers, and Neil Diamond. Wendy is also a Recording Artist, Actress, Author and Music Producer all  giving her a 360-degree perspective of the industry.

So you have your headshot, you have your growing resume. And you think I just need auditions. Once I get in the room and the see how great I am and how much talent I have they are going to hire me for the job. I don't need audition training, I am just going to wing it!" Yikes!!! Does that sound like you? I hope not. But the truth is, most beginning actors sound EXACTLY like that.

As a Talent Manager in Los Angeles, I feel it is my duty to tell you that is wrong! And make sure you have a change in your thinking right now, ASAP.

You studied acting in college or with a private teacher or in an acting school. Now that you have graduated it's time to put that that good acting training to use. So you move to Los Angeles or New York and are convinced people are going to hire you just because you are you. But, alas, that is not how it works. Auditioning is a very specific skill set. Unfortunately they do not teach it in college or in most acting schools. But being ignorant of the law, does not abolish the law. And the law of acting professionally means you will audition 90% of the time and act 10%. Therefore you must train extensively to become adept at auditioning. It is a skill you must master if you want to become a working actor.

When someone asks you what is your job? Your answer should be "I am a professional auditioner, who occasionally gets to act, and even more rarely, gets paid enough to pay my bills with it." (Until you are a well paid working actors that is).

So how do you become a well paid working actor? First, you have to get an audition, then you have to get a callback, and then you have to nail the call back (1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 of them) and then you get into the final running for the job and have to book the job! Once you get into the audition room its ALL about your audition skills. It is not about your talent because there are talented people all over Los Angeles and the majority of them aren't booking the jobs. The actors who have a strong audition technique to go along with strong acting techniques book the jobs. The skills go hand in hand.

COMMERCIAL AUDITION TRAINING

How may hours a week do you take On-Camera audition classes and Cold Reading class? How many hours in the last 365 days have you taken On-camera audition classes and Cold reading classes? I hope your answer is at least 1-2 classes per week and minimum of 200 hours per year.

If you are serious about becoming a working actor, then you need to get serious about becoming an expert at auditioning. Don't even think of "winging it" - that's a recipe for failure and you will likely be one of the thousands that flock back home after a failed attempt of trying to make it in Hollywood. Don't let that happen to you. You have talent, don't be ;lazy, cocky, or arrogant and think you can do it without very specific training. You can't, unless you want to be a broke actor who has to make their living from their day job.

If you a have Commercial Agent you should be taking an on-camera Commercial audition class every week with any of following expert teachers: (If it was me I would take one right after the other so in 2 years I would be 100% confident in my audition techniques, which would make my agent 100% confident in me)

THEATRICAL AUDITION TRAINING

If you have aspirations to work in television film (and by film I mean not student films), you need to have SERIOUS audition techniques. That's what separates the big boys from the wannabes. Novices without intensive scene study, audition technique and cold reading training fall apart along the way because they do not have solid audition skills to keep them in the game. A working actor has master of the audition room. They know who they are, what they have to sell, what is unique about them, how to break down a character quickly, how to play the opposites, how to make bold choices, not safe ones (and they know the difference between the two.) They also know the appropriate ways to interact with Casting Directors, how to dress for auditions, for the callback, when to make changes, when not to. Your audition techniques need to be as familiar and feel as natural to you as your breathing.

Here are some of the most common complaints Casting Directors have about actors in the audition room. Quotes are from the book: "Getting The Part" 33 Professional Casting Director Tell You How To Get Work in Theater, Films, Commercials and TV" by Judith Searle

"The biggest mistake actors make sometimes is stating anything negative before they have begun. I have found that no matter what you say thereafter to try and win back favor, the director has formed an impression and most of the time you can not get him (or her) to think differently. And it doesn't mean the person in not a good actor. But half of it is the acting, and half of it is the way the other person feels." - Pam Dixon, Casting Director

It's terrible when actors come in unprepared. Actors don't read the scripts when they are available. "They do not bother to take responsibility. You can make excuses, but you hinder yourself when you do things like that. You're not taking advantage of the things that are presented to you." Al Oronato, Casting Director

"I hate when actors come in for an audition loaded with props." - Barbara Claman, Casting Director

A lot of people are disturbed when actors come in and say, 'do you mind if I have two minutes to prepare for this?' Don't do that. Come in prepared to do it. People are looking at two things in auditions, They're not only looking at your talent, they're looking to see whether or not you're going to make problems." - Stanley Soble, Casting Director

Not being genuine. "The slate needs to be simple. I wouldn't pitch myself, like in music, more than a half step above how happy I feel on that particular day. You know what I am saying? Sometimes people come in and go "hiiiiii!" (With yards and yards of teeth.) You know they don't mean it; you know they're not feeling it. Some directors are so cruel - they just fast-forward from the slate. They don't look at the performance. So you could have given the greatest performance of your life on tape, but if they hated your slate you're gone. -Danny Goldman, Casting Director.

"Don't hang out too long. It's a business. Everybody's got a limited amount of time. Get in, do your thing, get out. Present yourself the best way possible: make sure your clothes are fresh, make sure you have a fresh face on, you are well mannered, you are polite to everybody - and just do your thing. I find it terribly disarming when an actor comes in - in character, because you don't know what that person's like and the camera is not always rolling. And if this person is in character, you have no idea who they are. So I like to see a line of demarcation between the person who comes in and the performance. Probably the biggest mistake actors make is when they start off on a scene, find themselves floundering because they've lost concentration, and keep going because they are afraid to stop. You have to stop yourself and say, "I'm sorry. I want to start again." - Pamela Basker, Casting Director

"They talk too much. I think it's nervous talk. There's never anything wrong with an actor asking a question that is pertinent to the material before them, discussing an approach to the material - making it concise and moving along. But a lot of times actors are too chatty. They are trying to ingratiate themselves and for that purpose, for the audition purpose, believing that saying the words effectively is what is going to get them the job. Seventy-five percent of the time the reason an actor is not chosen for a job has nothing to do with their skills. So most of the time I think your concentration should be on preparing and looking at an audition as an opportunity to act, an opportunity to show (us) that you belong in the business because we do so many projects that if you want it and you're working in the right way at it, it will happen." - Eugene Blythe

Lateness. Never - I repeat, never - be late to read for a casting director in a studio, for producers or writers, because if you keep them waiting they're not going to be in a good mood when you are seeing them. - Robin Nassif, Former Head Of Comedy Casting at ABC, Talent Agent

"I think the biggest mistake actors make is not respecting themselves enough. And that includes trying to do what you think is wanted rather than what your instincts are telling you to do. Caring too much about getting the job has a tendency to undermine your work. I think if you are good your work will ultimately be recognized. I think actors who get into a comfortable place with that in themselves bring that into an audition. They are not apologetic, they are not overly solicitous, they're not angry. They're just good and they know it." - Lacy Bishop, Casting Director

"Not taking enough time to prepare and being late...and being harried and having their minds somewhere else - on the next audition, or the fact they're going to get a ticket, or the fight they just had with their girlfriend. The inability to concentrate on the job at hand - the audition, that moment. When you're dealing with this kind of money, you can't let the fact that you didn't get any sleep the night before or somebody flushed your cat down the toilet or your car is totaled get in the way. Your job is to make these people (in the audition room) feel comfortable. They want you to be good. - Beverly Long, Casting Director

The biggest mistake is not understanding what an audition is. The audition really is about only the part at the moment, and performing at a level that can convince the director you are the person for that role. Auditions can't be attempts. They have to be choices carried out, and you have to give the impression that you can deliver. People who are not known (by casting) have to gain that assurance, that trust." - Jay Binder, Casting Director

Where do I take Casting Director Workshops? (This post has 1,671 views)

Taking Casting Director Workshops is one of the approaches Actors can take when starting to build those all important long term relationships with Casting Directors. It is important for CD's to become familiar with you and your work. But don't start taking these until you have had some acting classes! I suggest you take on-camera/audition classes, acting classes and cold reading classes BEFORE you show your face in front of casting directors. You want them to see you at your best and doing great work, right? Don't practice in front of Casting Directors. That's what acting classes are for. That being said here is a comprehensive list of locations you can take CD workshops for easy reference.

This list was written by Bonnie Gillespie and originally published by Actors Access at http://more.showfax.com/columns/avoice/archives/000275.html

Act Now: “Act Now offers three-week classes with the same casting director and the classes are fairly evenly priced with other workshops (working out to about $50/night) but my manager was on my case because she doesn’t feel that I’m meeting enough CDs since each class is almost a month long.” “Every one of the CDs I’ve met at Act Now has called me in and Dana Olson recently called me directly and booked me for an U5 on Passions.” “They have consultants that call to let me know which workshops are going on.”

Actors Alliance (NY): “I chose Actors Alliance because they are very discerning about both the level of talent allowed in through auditions and the level of honest interest from CDs in actually meeting talent with the intent of possible future contact.” “I’ve gotten so much info and insight from most of the sessions I’ve attended that it has been worth it.” “Also in New York, I’ve heard great things about the workshops run by Bob Lambert. I know a few people who have booked U5s on All My Children from his workshop alone.”

Actors Co-Op Group: “I love Actors Co-Op Group because I get cold reading practice with very good scenes brought in by CDs and the level of our group is very high. I get to begin long-term relationships on which this whole wacky biz is based for $95/four-pack (nonunion actors pay more) and it’s fully tax-deductible. I know they’re not for everyone, but I’ve enjoyed our workshop so much!”

ActorSite: “I was informed, going in, that without a satisfactory audition with ActorSite, I couldn’t become a member. I was not given a sales pitch or induced in any way to join. I feel that attending workshops along with the other things that are available as a member have been well worth the cost.”

ITA (In the Act): “ITA offers discounts to members for referrals who are accepted (since an audition is required).” “In one year, I have gotten ten auditions that are a direct result of having met CDs through the ITA workshops.”

One on One: “Of the auditions I’ve gotten as a result of meeting CDs at One on One, so far I have booked three jobs.” “They audition actors and not everyone is accepted." One On One in New York.

Reel Pros: “I think the best way to judge is by the talent in the room. Reel Pros has good actors doing good work.”

SAG CAP — Casting Access Program (NY and LA): “I’ve only been doing SAG workshops for a few months, but I’ve learned quite a lot. CDs are just people. My cold reading skills are getting better. I’m gaining confidence.” “The NY SAG CAP session I recently attended was well worth it.” “I am fortunate enough to be a member of both SAG and AFTRA. These unions have opportunities for their members to attend free workshops. Although there are restrictions on how often you can attend the performance workshops, I think any actor would benefit by taking advantage of these wonderful workshops from their first day in the union!”

WHAT ARE AUDITIONS REALLY FOR? Talent Manager Tip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xc7_oxWSD8g

Here is a great take on Casting Director workshops from Valerie Adami, Dir. Weist Barron in NYC.

Actors are understandably angry and frustrated. Unfortunately nothing can change simple facts. Ever since the industry became so irresistibly glamorous a few decades ago hundreds of thousands of young hopefuls having been trying to find a way to their big break. Every year Colleges, conservatories and private acting schools are training leagues of talented newcomers to enter a business already saturated with talented professionals.

Managers and Agents cannot rep thousands of actors, nor can a casting office see all the actors submitted for a project. Walls have gone up. There are no more 'open call' days at agencies. Mailings are mostly futile. Referrals can work, sometimes. Actually being seen in a showcase has always been the most effective marketing tool. So it was only a matter of time until entrepreneurs got the idea of creating 'pay to meets'. For a certain amount of money you are guaranteed face time with an industry professional. 

Has this business gotten out of hand. You bet. Guests are requiring $400 to $500 (or more) to teach a two or three hour workshop. Newcomers with little training or experience clutter workshops bringing down the quality of the event for everyone. Do some guests come just for the money? Yes. Do most actors get no results? Yes. Do a small number of actors get a positive result? Yes. That's the carrot that keeps the machine turning. 

Is there a better solution? Possibly. Make your own work. Create your own web series. Produce your own film. Do hundreds of shows at UCB. Become a Stand-Up. Produce your one-person show. Become an on-line casting junkie. Create a YouTube video and hope it goes viral. Pursue celebrities and ask them to mentor you. Drive your family and friends crazy begging for money for your projects on Kick-starter. The truly horrible truth? This business costs money. Money for classes, photos, unions. Money for wardrobe, for transportation. Money for websites for demos. Actors will also work for little or no money just in the hope of making a contact. Is there anything that can stop the madness. If you think of anything please let me know. This is a business of Dreams. In our business Dreams cost, time, energy and yes money. - Valerie Adami Dir. Weist Barron NYC.

---------------------

So there you go! I agree with Valerie. Make your own breaks. Do great work and get noticed from that. All actors should understand CD Workshops are PART of the bigger picture. Actors need to get training, theater experience, work in commercials short films and student films, as well as create your own material: webseries, theater and short films. Workshops are simply ONE way of STARTING a relationship with a CD that grows over time.- Good luck! - Wendy
