#36 How Angel started her 3rd act with 14 offers for representation
Play • 40 min

Angel hit LA running back in the day. She landed reps fast and worked until... she realized she had no idea how to keep things going and she ultimately got burned out. 

 

After taking a 12-year hiatus from the biz to work as an elementary school teacher, Angel realized she still had an actor itch to scratch… except she had no idea how to get back into things, how to submit to reps, or how to translate her years of experience and wisdom into meetings and finding her team.

 

Now after 15 meetings and 14 (!!) offers for representation, Angel is flying high and taking on the business with a whole new outlook in her self-proclaimed “3rd act”!

 

CLOSER LOOK & TAKEAWAYS

 

  • VO, TV, whatever: Agents aren’t worried about your credits half as much as you are
  • How Angel created an actor accountability group and how it keeps her motivated
  • The challenge of deciding amongst multiple offers
  • How prayer was her big guidance in her process and her life
  • What it really means to be a “good client” for your reps

 

 

 

With this How They Did It series, actors I’m talking to you: I believe that acting is your calling and your purpose on the planet. You use your voice, and your body, and all that you are, to tell stories that remind US what it is to be human. You have the power to change lives.

 

And, we all know that having great representation makes that impact all that much more possible. 

 

But let’s not get it twisted – looking for an agent or a manager sucks. It’s not straightforward, there are tons of people telling you the best-slash-only ways to do it, and it can leave you in a constant state of anxiety thinking to yourself – is this ever going to happen for me? 

 

And that's why in this series of tell-all interviews with my agent goals students – you’ll hear how they did it.

 

REMINDER: Each of these bonus episodes is very different because each of these actors wants different things from their careers: some want to be on Broadway, others have their sights set on tv and film, and still others are creators and want to land reps that are excited by that.
