Actors Reps is a way to get started
by Melody C. 4 Actors Reps Of Ny
It takes hard work, persistence, and determination to make it in this industry. A gig will not be handed to you and we all have to start some where. My experience with actors reps has been a wonderful learning experience. It is a great way to get your foot in the door and learn the necessary traits of what it takes to be successful in this industry. I've worked directly with Ray Weir and he was extremely supportive of helping me get started. He taught me how to put together a resume and he even contacted me first hand with upcoming projects that they were getting in the office day to day. On the flip side, because this is a competitive business it was very hard to get through on the days that clients are supposed to check in for work. Eventually, if you want to further develop and grow as an actor, you do have to seek better representation. Actors Reps is an excellent place to get started just to ""learn the ropes"" so to speak. As for head shots, you will have to pay for them regardless that is, if you want them done professionally. I thought the asking price was fair, and you even have the agents Richard or Ray sit down and review all of your shots and choose the one that best represents you. I was very pleased with the out come of my head shot and I still use it today. Although I never got work through actors reps, I only hold myself accountable for not being available as I should due to other major responsibilities in my life. It's all about timing and luck. For some, actors reps can be a great avenue to bring them into that big break they've always dreamed of; for others like me, a great learning experience. I extend my thanks to the crew at actors reps. Some day while I'm accepting my academy award, I will think of you.Melody
