Agents and Auditions
Fri, 23 July 2004, 10:01 amCould someone please tell me the details of getting an agent, such as:
- how do you become accepted by an agent
- will they accept you even if you do not live nearby
- how do you find an agent that would be best suitable for you,
or does it not matter
- any other details that may be useful
Also generally, how are auditions for television usually run:
- are you given material to become familiar with and perform
- usually how many auditions pieces do you have to do
- any other useful details
- how do you become accepted by an agent
- will they accept you even if you do not live nearby

Agencies standard fee is 15%. This is on any income you make by landing a job through them.
Unfortunately, Australia (as far as I know) doesn't have such a large contingent of auditions going such that it would worth printing a paper to hold them all. Consider England has 80? million people, compared to An australian city of 1-5mil. The key is knowing where to look.
The right agency, local uni noticeboards, local paper advertisements or if you're lucky auditions posted here.
Theatre, on the other hand - there is a directory on this site? At least a post of regular theatre auditions. What you see is what you get.
A good idea would be to contact your local theatre companies and ASK them.
