Actress, singer, and songwriter Tara spent 12 years looking for a manager, but she didn’t spend that time sitting around. She was voraciously pursuing her career dreams and goals, all while sending email upon email in search of the illusive rep.   

Then she decided to try a different approach: she looked at how she’d been showing up and after facing the facts, she was able to show up authentically in her reach outs to reps (and with some help from Brian was able to not sound delusional). With this new more honest and vulnerable approach combined with the energy of a supportive community, Tara was able to score her long-awaited representation with the added bonus of a deeper understanding of who she is and identifying exactly what she wants. 

 

CLOSER LOOK & TAKEAWAYS

• Why her old way of sending emails wasn’t hitting and how giving reps a description of what you do but also who you are changed everything.
• She didn’t use referrals, fancy credits, or a reel to get in the door
• How she leveraged her self-tapes to attract reps that were interested in getting her the type of work she wants
• The hard work of reckoning with the stories we made up in our past about why our career was dragging, not taking off, etc.
• How she got so singularly focused on finding the right fit that she was willing to go totally un-repped in order to sign with a real match
• The table-turning moment of having reps pitch themselves to her!

 

 

With this series, actors I’m talking to you: I believe that acting is your calling and your purpose on the planet. You use your voice, and your body, and all that you are, to tell stories that remind US what it is to be human. You have the power to change lives.

 

And, we all know that having great representation makes that impact all that much more possible. 

 

But let’s not get it twisted – looking for an agent or a manager sucks. It’s not straightforward, there are tons of people telling you the best-slash-only ways to do it, and it can leave you in a constant state of anxiety thinking to yourself – is this ever going to happen for me? 

 

And that's why in this series of tell-all interviews with my agent goals students – you’ll hear how they did it.

 

REMINDER: Each of these bonus episodes is very different because each of these actors wants different things from their careers: some want to be on Broadway, others have their sights set on tv and film, and still others are creators and want to land reps that are excited by that.
