Auckett Management - Looking for actors
Tue, 1 Aug 2006, 02:57 pmWalter Plinge
Hello! Very interesting reading here!
I have just opened an agency - Auckett Management and am interested in hearing from actors (No kids! Sorry!) working and living in Melbourne.
Now at the outset I am working part time - and am only running a boutique agency - so please, if I represent you, don't _expect_ to get oodles of calls for auditions ( at any rate - my patrner has been a professional actor since she was 15 and has NEVER had oodles of phone calls! So if you know anything about the industry this will not sound unreasonable...)
You are what I am looking for if you:
1. Have something on tape or DVD for me to look at.
2. Have a CV of professional or semi-professional work - ie profit share theatre.
3. Have PROFESSIONAL headshots.
4. Have transport and the ability to make it to auditions.
5. *T*R*A*I*N*I*N*G!!! <---- most important. VCA grads (or kick-outs) St. Martins, National Theatre...etc.
6. NO OTHER AGENT. (If I put you up for something that another agent puts you up for - _you_ will look dishonest and _I_ will look like a fool!)
In line with industry standards, if we agree to work together, I will take 15% of any earnings you make from auditions you get through me. If you are interested please email me (please don't send email pics at this stage)

I will require you to be a member of AT2 - if you are already listed as freelance - that would be PERFECT! If you aren't - and you are interested in working as an actor - YOU SHOULD BE!!!! How else will anyone see you?!?!?
Cheers! Look forward to hearing from you!
Dean
PS No, I don't charge people a fee to represent them! Nor do I request you to get pictures with a photographers I recommed - these are the oldest tricks in the book, and any agent who asks these things of you does NOT trust your, or their own abilities, to get auditions/work. Who needs that knd of a slap in the face? Not me! Certianly not you! If an agent asks you to pay money up front I'd suggest you post their name here so other people can aviod them!
Hope to hear from you!
