Act One Talent Agency
Submissions
We love pictures and resumes, but in addition, today's
actor
must have video to compete, so include a link
to your LA Casting, Actors Access, YouTube, etc.
We will not download attachments or join websites
to view pictures or videos. Neither will Casting.
We only accept online video auditions.
(please email resumes in PDF format, photos as JPG - we no longer
accept hard copy, a green trend in Hollywood. No phone calls, please.)
Your video should include the skills you wish
us
to
consider for representation, such as
Commercial
or
Theatrical acting, Singing, Dancing,
Stunts, etc. Home video is fine - 2 minutes is
plenty. Always
slate
your contact info and lead
with
your best,
or we
won't get past the first 15 seconds.
If you don't have video, you are not ready
for our
Agency and should take more classes and study.
Our job is to get you auditions, not teach you the business.
Videos help Casting Directors decide whether or
not to pick you for one of the few audition spots
from the thousands of submissions they receive
for
each role. We select our Performers the same way.
Actors with good demos get exponentially
more
auditions than those without.
If your demo shows talent and promise,
we will offer "test run" representation for a
few
months
to
see
how well we fit together as a team.
We both
get a chance to "kick the tires", so to speak,
with virtually no risk and a huge potential upside.
So if you're a trained, experienced, talented,
motivated
self-starter who wants
to join
an aggressive team, please submit right away.
We are happy to work through Managers and prefer
them for minors and newbies or those with busy careers.
Sadly, minors often make 50% or less of the adult
rate,
but have 90% of the questions. Managers are
better equipped to answer your questions and let us do
our job
which is to get auditions for our current talent.
Minors can submit 1-2 minute home videos -
monologues, faux commercials, sing, dance, etc.
Younger kids can
talk about a favorite toy, food,
cartoon etc. Show
toddlers being animated, cute,
funny,
showing off, etc.
We need
to see their personality and
cuteness,
so remove hats, sunglasses, clothing with logos.
SCAM NOTE: Beware of Agencies who charge upfront fees, require you use specific photographers, training, etc.
We only make money after you do, which is
why Act One Talent selects only the very best, motivated talent.
