Shameless Self Promotion- Is there any one out there who promotes themselves??

Sun, 22 Oct 2006, 05:19 pm

Hi 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

Welcome to Melbouren BMA is not a scam - they are just a little out of the ordinary in the way they deal with thier clients (ie, they neve actually request to meet with u) but they are a legitimate agent. Good luck with finding an agent. And yes self-promotion is a good idea - If I knew how i would do it too. Mariabella Carlos
