Answers:
The first tools that you will need are an 8 x 10 photo and résumé!. (It is also helpful if you have a "demo reel," which is a short video of clips of your work, but don't worry about this if you are just getting started!.)
Attach you photo back-to-back with an 8 x 10 résumé with staples neatly in each corner, or get résumés professionally printed on the back of your photos!. Your résumé will have your name at the top, then the names of any unions to which you belong!. A voice mail or message service phone number should be prominent so that the agents will know how to contact you!. This will be replaced by an agency once you get one!. Your height, weight, eye and hair colors come next!. Below that, begin listing your credits!. Now you'll need to find an agency!.
Agency lists can also be purchased at Samuel French or from Breakdowns in LA and NYC!. Bear in mind that these are the major markets, meaning that the vast majority of work is in these two cities!.
You can probably get an agent elsewhere, IF you're willing to commute to auditions!.
Now you have your list of potential agents narrowed down, so how do you get them to meet with you!? The most common (and most difficult) way to get an agent is to submit your headshot and résumé, unsolicited, by mail!. The VAST majority of these photos end up trashed!.
The most effective way to get an agency interview is to get a personal referral!. This is often through your singing coach, or someone else in a similar position!. But it may also be through your half-aunt's brother-in-law's college roommate's daughter!. You should explore all possible leads and industry contacts!. If a connection isn't strong, ask your potential contact to take a brief informational interview with you!. Take that person to coffee or lunch!. This is a lot more polite than calling someone whom you do not know, or barely know, and asking them to pull strings for you!. And this informational interview, if played right, will lead to the sort of help that you need!.
As you go about your networking, you must start a file of industry contacts!. This is so you can keep track of who you talked to and what you talked to them about, so you don't make a fool of yourself in case you meet them again!.
When an agency calls you for an interview, it is up to you to be on time, be delightfully charismatic, and to look like a million bucks!. Look like your photo!. Don't forget that the interview is your chance to interview the agent, as well!. Ask them how many clients they have, and what jobs those clients are doing!. Don't agree to spend money in order to get what you want, unless it is clearly a reputable agency!.
Finally, if the agents that you have lined up don't end up choosing you, you should continue your networking!. It's a tough business!. Things don't happen magically!. Good luck!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
