Agents
Remember the first agents you ever saw? exactly how close to
reality do you think they were? Did they resemble somebody who
would never associate with unless your career depended on it?
Generally what we think of when agents come to mind is an
essentially unpleasant person whose interest is in their own self
preservation more than anything, with the success of their clients
being secondary, only inasmuch as it may determine their own
success.
Agents have a bad rap. Why is that? How many portrayals of agents
have we seen in movies in television that show them as sneaky
slime-balls that will sell you out in two seconds for a couple of
bucks?
Of course, agents can't possibly have a negative impact on your career
unless you let them. The information is out there, there are many
actors with a lot of talent who are willing to advise young up and
comers on which agents are trustworthy, and which ones will eat you
alive.
Agents are just a click away. |
