A talent agency is a firm which gets jobs for its client. Such agencies put principal talent to feature in among others modeling, video games, internet, voice-overs, commercial, TV, movies and in films. A talent agency company hires commercial actors that represent their performers on a roster normally a list given by clients. Commercial actors are a store that stores talent.
Commercial actors show up when given an open casting call or look for auditions posted either on actors websites or producers. Normally these are non-paying gigs but whether to pay or not is determined after the talent pool is exhausted. If talent is unrepresented, meaning an actor who does not have an agent, they can present themselves online, although this is hard to penetrate alone. A commercial actor who is not represented will always find it hard to get booked for any jobs. But a commercial actor who has an agent has already gone through a process of selection and has been select to do commercial acting after appearing on several callbacks and auditions. This can be hard if you are a newbie commercial actor without an agent.
This means that all actors must have talent agents who are also salespeople to represent them on their roster. Talent agents get commercial actors using direct submissions or referrals to agencies from interested performers. To get commercial actors, you should first determine the type of acting you want to enter into. Decide on the agent that will benefit your career plans. This means that the agency you select should be franchised, licensed, and experienced. You can interview some agents to be able to get a good fit. Finally, establish if they are interested in representing your brand.
There are many agencies and agents who represent various kinds of talent. They look for background and extra performers, voice-over talent, principal talent, and theater actors. Most of these commercial actors stick to a particular agency, specialty, or discipline; however, there are actors to do them all. These are signed up to work across the board, meaning they do everything. Other commercial actors work for more than one agency and get extra work for voice-overs or principal work and others.
Talent agents look for clients who are castable, pleasant, talented, personable, and confident. They look out for persons who when they enter their office or send them an email have that distinct character or look, or something likable about them but they cannot identify it. Look are undeniably crucial for agents to decide whether to take the client or not but not may talent agents can pinpoint what look, are however they can know it when they see it.
