Another Q & A with the fabulous Allison Riley

We kick off this episode catching up with Allison and discussing her leading role with Jon Hamm on "Corner Office".

We chat about confirming with your agent, taxes, covid payments, researching a new agent, social media, and self submitting.

Should you Zoom or self-tape when given the option from casting? What are the pros and cons?

We talk about what we love about being an agent, and what we are missing during this bizarre Covid time.

The common opinion, we are missing connection.

Find out how best to connect to your agent and keep that connection strong. Don't panic if you don't talk or email daily or weekly.

Find out what works personally for you and your team.

Till next time....

Tip of the Day: Actors, Do You Know What You Are Taking About?

Our last tip of the day before the holidays! Actors, if you hear about a project do your due diligence before reaching out to your agent.

Don't send an email with a vague description to your agent and expect them to hunt down some "project that may or may not exist".

We are always happy to push for a legitimate and well suited role. Before you approach your agent about a project or role, know what you are talking about.

For some reason this won't just unschedule so I've set it to publish in 2027. Cause I didn't want to delete it and lose the artwork/subscription.
