Are You Really Ready for an Acting Agent?

Think signing with an agent is the next step in your acting career? You might be surprised to learn that rushing into representation could actually slow you down. In this episode of The Actor’s Career Compass, we break down exactly how to determine if you’re truly ready for an agent or if you should continue building your career on your own first.

If you’re not getting auditions, don’t know your casting type, or lack professional materials, you may need to wait before reaching out to representation.

On the other hand, if you’re consistently booking work, have a strong personal brand, and are overwhelmed by career management, an agent might be the right move.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• The key signs that you’re NOT ready for an agent and what to do instead
• How to know when the timing is right to start seeking representation
• A specific checklist to help you evaluate whether you should start looking for an agent now or focus on career-building first
