How do you get an agent?

Whether you're a young performer or an adult, having an agent is an important part of becoming a professional.

In this episode, we'll discuss why it isn't so important for young performers to have an agent. We'll also give you an insight into how you might get an agent in the future. It's important to note, you can have a successful career without having an agent. However, agents will have access to resources that you don't and can open doors to opportunities that you might not have known about.

Key Points from the Podcast:

• You don't need an agent for 'open casting calls'.
• You can't join Spotlight as a young performer without an agent
• You'll have the chance to perform for agents at your 3rd Year Showcase at Drama College/University 
• Ask an agent if they're taking on new clients, if they're not... ask them when they will be.
