Agent Matters

Getting an agent can feel like one of the biggest milestones in an actor's career—but what happens after you get representation? In Episode #442 of Casting Actors Cast, casting director, author, teacher and former actor Jeffrey Dreisbach takes a practical and sometimes humorous look at the actor-agent relationship. This isn't an episode about how to find an agent. It's about understanding the professional relationship once you have one: franchising, communication, commissions and residuals, transparency, industry connections, management skills, expectations, warning signs—and the actor's own responsibilities in making representation work. Jeff also offers a simple five-part Representation Check-In built around Trust, Communication, Transparency, Strategy and Professionalism. Because representation isn't validation. It's a business partnership. Visit CastingActorsCast.com for more episodes, free actor resources, Booked It! The Actors Playbook for Getting Cast, and the Next-Level Auditions course.
