Getting rejected by an agent never feels good. But, it is crucial to understand that there are many reasons someone is not offered a contract from an agent. And, it is so important to know that this might say absolutely nothing about your talent, abilities or how far you can go in the industry.
Getting a Referral is the Best Way to Sign With an Agent
The best way to get signed with an agent is to have someone refer you to the agent. Some larger agencies won’t even see actors unless they were referred.
Ask friends from acting classes or other actors who you know if they will refer you to their agent.
Make Sure Your Materials Are Great Before Submitting to an Agent
It is so important that actors have great materials (headshot/resume) before submitting to an agent. You always want to give a great first impression. People will remember negative things, even if you create a better headshot and resume later.
Ask The Agent To Recommend Another Agency
Maybe you are not a perfect fit for the agency. Perhaps the agent already represents too many people in your category. Or, maybe the agent doesn’t get the type of work you are submitted for.
So, if that is the case, ask the agent for names of other acting agencies in your area that might be a better fit for your skills and look.
