ACTORS ~ How to find/keep a great Agent! (Skillshare)

Actors, artists, musicians... this is all the information you need to: Best way to find a new agent if you do not have one; If you already have a good agent, this course will ensure that you and your agent are working TOGETHER; Most professional way to "break-up" with your Agent. (Unfortunately happens to most everyone)

If you are looking for a new Agent:
Project A ~ Download the attached documents and follow the step-by-step process for securing a meeting with an Agent and then follow the template for "Meeting with a New Agent".
If you already have an Agent:
Project B ~ Contact your Agent and schedule a meeting as soon as possible. Download the attached files and follow the step-by-step process for "Meeting with Your Current Agent".
NOTE
If your Agent is reluctant to meet with you, or if when you do meet you feel that there is no synergy between the two of you, please watch the two BONUS videos
"Are You Walking Dead with Your Agent"
"How to Serve Notice to Your Agent"
I truly hope you do not need the bonus material. However, it's called "Show Business" for a reason. You are the CEO of your career. In order to succeed you must be willing to take care of YOUR show business.
