Instinct: Poor Sydney Agent
Tue, 27 May 2008, 01:07 pmHere is an e-mail I stumbled across sent out to all the clients of Nick Bonzanic agency: Instinct which charges around $900 up front to join:
UPSET, DISAPPOINTED, LET DOWN, MAD & REALLY WATCHING YOU ALL NOW.
Hello Everyone,
I am sending off this email with allot of disappointment.
I cannot believe that as Manager’s of your careers we are not being listened to.
We know the best training, classes, teachers, and workshops.
I will not let Tom or Craig book anyone anymore that does not show dedication to their art. I will no longer listen to any talent that wants to be submitted for work. I will determine who will and will not be sent for particular auditions & castings. Sorry guy’s but this is my choice from now on.
I cannot have client’s recommending that talent need extra training as they are the ones that know. When the talent think they are “ALL THAT” that is the client’s and my decision. “WE KNOW”
“I cannot believe that these classes have had to be cancelled”.
“I will now determine who is and at what stage you are ready for Musical Theatre, Cruises and all casting positions”.
“I am disappointed in the outcome and you have all left me no choice but to really put energy into those that do care. Those of you that do not will see a major change in bookings and castings coming your way.”
IF YOU DO NOT BELIVE IN YOURSELVES, AND TRAINING. I NO LONGER BELIEVE IN YOU.
I do not and will not represent talent that think they are already good enough. I only want to represent talent who know that there is a hell of a lot of work to do to get you to where you need to go.
Regards,
Nick Bozanic

Hi Odiwe/ Nick, (The agent
Wed, 28 May 2008, 08:36 amHi Odiwe/ Nick,
(The agent of Instinct)
If I were a member of Instinct would I use my real name?
And I've also met plenty of unhappy members. And this story is age old in the business.
Sending people to castings of Disney in Tokyo and requesting actors perform at the dance/pop performance orientated Industry does not constitute being an agent.
Again Instinct agency is not worth joining and you should never join an agency with a upfront fee, if they were getting people work they would not require it.
