AGENTS
The role of the agent is to find work for actors. Legitimate, reputable agents will only get paid after an actor has been paid, and the rate is generally 10% of the actor's gross salary.
While it is not necessary to have an agent to get work, it would serve you well to find an agent as soon as possible. An agent, with their industry contacts and professional resources, will be able to get you into auditions and interviews that you otherwise may not ever hear about.
In addition to their resources and help in getting you in the door, many agents will also represent you to casting directors, help you in continually developing your career, negotiate your contract for an acting job, as well as protect you and help with any disputes you may have with a producer. For their services, agents will take a percentage of your gross salary, as well as expect you to be professional and committed to your career.
Since agents are paid only when you get paid, it is in their best interest to keep you working. For this reason, you should begin your search for an agent as soon as possible, because it only helps to have an ally in your search for acting jobs.
Remember, reputable agents never charge any kind of fees or dues outside of their stated commission charges. If an agent tells you otherwise, find another one.
While it is possible to get work without having an agent, you will find that you get more opportunities when you have representation.Members of Acting Depot have instant access to a list of talent agents.
