Shameless Self Promotion- Is there any one out there who promotes themselves??
Sun, 22 Oct 2006, 05:19 pmHi Everyone,
I have moved to Melbourne from Auckland and have been checking out
some of the threads on Agencies etc.
Sounds like theres certainly a few scams out there [read NOTM and BMA].
Having had an agent in NZ, i know from experience that weeks can go by
without hearing from them, you start to wonder whether they have
forgotten about you so its time to give them a call etc.
Is there anybody out there who markets themselves? I have been
thinking about giving this a shot myself and figured I could send
headshots and coverletters to all the local casting agents, has anyone
tried this?
Does it work?
Or are there any casting directors out there who have been approached
in this way, do you find it offensive or not useful?
Let me know your thoughts
Daniel
I don't think there is
