  1. 6 Ways To Find The Best Commercial Acting Agent For You Almost every actor needs an agent to represent him or her let it be a role in commercial, film, television drama, theatrical play, etc. Hiring a legal representation could be easy sometimes, but it can also become challenging given the complexity of the project and other professionals involved. Here are some ways you can find the right commercial acting agent for you.

  2. Do Your Research Start from getting out a list of franchised or registered agents from SAG or AFTRA. You can also check out online directories for agents and directors with a nice list of clientele. You may find some agents who are not SAG-registered, but that does not mean they are not reliable and worthy to work with. However, the SAG members can be easily located by actors and are accountable to a supervising body for their work and representation.

  3. Buy Information Resources Buy updated books or get access to call sheets that list and describe the profiles of agents and managers. Study important information regarding the number of agents available in the location; their work history; how many clients have they worked with; etc.

  4. Go Online Go through the websites of agents you have shortlisted. Read about the agency, company profile and history, employees working there, etc. Once you have detailed all the required information and selected the chosen ones, verify your choices from Better Business Bureau to see if any complaints have been filed against them.

  5. Decide Where To Submit The scale and status of agency you are considering to approach depends on where you are in your career. If you are a starter, then you will see that small- or medium-sized agencies are more excited to meet new talent. Whereas, if you get a chance to work in a large and established name, then you should pursue it. If your talent, timing, and agency type is right, you could get going easily.

  6. Submit Your Materials Now that you have finalized some commercial acting agents you want to work with, submit your resume and cover letter. Don’t mail to an individual at a time and wait for their reply, neither go wasting money with mailing every agent in your location. Be selective by mailing to about 15-20 agents. Some agents may call you in a few days or weeks.

  7. If you see that a noticeable time has passed without a reply, then email your second round of choices. Typically, agents will call you to schedule a meeting when they are interested in a submission. If you have some industry contacts, friends, or other acquaintances who can recommend you to your interested agent, then ask them to alert the agent to expect or view your submission.
