I WAS DROPPED BY MY AGENT!!
Sat, 11 May 2013, 12:07 amI was just dropped by my agent after a discussion!!!
I had asked her (the agent) why I was not getting requested for the roles that she was submitting me for (she always checks to make sure if I'm available, interested in the project etc before suggesting me...which is probably sensible on her part).
I told her that she may not be pushing me enough as friends of mine with other agencies are getting auditions (my friends are also with good agents, mine is very well known and has a roster of "stars" on her books).
She responded with:
"Honey, when was the last time you met those Casting Directors and when did they either request you back in for another audition or book you?" "To be honest, If you have already met them and haven't got asked back in,they either think that you're not right for the roles they are casting for OR you're just not a good enough attempt at being an actor!!!
"Proof is in the pudding Darl- you have not even booked a "50 worder",it says a lot about your "Talent", I dont have time for your moaning, but I have 2 words for you "Your Dropped!!"
Great start to the weekend! Whats a fifty worder?

Well it's been a rough couple of weeks, one old school agent has closed down after 52 years when a long term employee jumped ship to another agency, a 'medium sized' agency just dropped over 20 actors (in their words-they cleaned house), another small one dropped approx 10. I guess it's Winter cleaning time.
I haven't got any meetings with agents on the cards-none will take my calls, I was told by a Casting Directors office to stop calling and emailing them, 'We'll call you, you're staring to annoy us!!'
So,all is great. Would you like a family sized Pizza with a free bottle of....
