Ep. 109: Is Your Agent Actually Helping You? Why a Manager Could Get You MORE Film Acting Auditions


Listen Later

Are you wondering if an agent or manager could help you land more auditions? The answer might surprise you!

Knowing whether an agent or manager is better for your career depends on your goals and where you are in your acting journey.

Many actors start with one, then add the other once they’re booking more frequently. But as casting trends shift as we head into 2025, the best option may not be what you’d expect.

  • Learn why a developmental manager might be more beneficial early in your career than a high-level agent.
  • Understand how today’s managers access casting networks, sometimes offering the same audition opportunities as agents.
  • Get tips for knowing when the time is right to add an agent to your team.

Listen to this episode to discover if an agent or manager is the right fit for where you are now and learn how to make a smart choice for your acting career.
