"Acting in Los Angeles: How to Get a Good Agent"
Interested in learning how to get a good agent when you are embarking upon acting in Los Angeles?
Just spoke to Meredith from the Osbrink Talent Agency last night. She generously visited one of our scene study classes with one of our members Georgina Carlos. I of course took that opportunity and asked her many questions about acting in Los Angeles. I asked her what is the best way to submit to her? She said, the "Good old fashioned way ... hard copy mailings." I had heard that some agents for acting in Los Angeles prefer Online Submissions now. So, it was actually very refreshing to hear her say that. However, I personally hope that Online submissions will become the wave of the industry. She even said that the receptionist opens 'each submission.' Way to go, Osbrink!
I asked her what would make one actor stand out over another when she is looking over submissions for acting in Los Angeles and she said, "she and the rest of the team will look at the photos and actually discuss each one that the receptionist has separated for them. Then they of course decide which areas they need to fill within the agency, and then they look at the eyes of the actor in the photograph. The eyes have always been the window to the soul and will continue to be. So, when you get your photos done, make sure the photographer has captured your eyes.
