- 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:

Hi,
I noticed that you are in Brisbane and so am I. In regards to Agents a good agent as everyone says should not charge you an upfront fee.
There are some in Brisbane that does not charge fees this, e.g. Natalie Hall won't charge an upfront fee. V Management, Spotz are ones who will charge you, which should not in my opinion. If you go to the Media Entertainment Arts Aliance www.aliance.org.au website you will see what constitutes a good agent. I am actually involved with them, and what we are doing is trying to stamp out these agencies who are basically ripping off people like in this way. As I said and others, a good agency should not charge you any fee, and they should only take a commision as payment in securing the work for you.
Also by the way what does www.erik-the-red.com have to do with this topic?
Feel free to e-mail me, or you can conact me on 0409 590 936 and I will give you a run down on what the Brisbane market is like.
Cheers
