Representation
Fri, 11 July 2003, 01:46 pmHi peoples
Question in relation to getting representation (in Perth that is).
I have only been acting (in community theatre) for the last 2 years (and done 7 productions so far) and want to get representation. I have done before (but I would say this company focussed mainly on modelling rather than acting) and unfortunately missed out on being involved in a couple ads (due to receiving the message too late!!).
Do you think it's worth a shot my contacting say Frog or Actors Management even though my repertoire is limited? I have had no formal training (just a few workshops) so my experience is really just learning from each production I've done.
I suppose, most of the replies to this will be, "just do it, you haven't anything to lose". But then, maybe it's a fear of rejection that holds me back......
Cheers

If you want to get an agent then you have to remember there are three "acting" agencies in Perth.
Frog is pretty good but there books might be full.
Actors Management is suppose to be OK however they have a tendency of flooding potential applicants to each audition and this kind of infuriates some of the producers.
There is another organisation called Actors Plus. They're something of an unknown quantity and they were an offshoot of a modelling agency. There was also a problem with payments to actors from this organisation, but that might have something to do with the producers not coughing up.
I suppose you should go with your instincts, but you should avoid modelling agencies if you can.
