LOOKING FOR AN AGENT?

Hi,
So sorry for neglecting you on here.  It's just that the Casting platform really has taken off.

Finding an Agent?

Why wait for an Agent to put you forward?  That is if you have got one.  Many people find it hard to find an Agent. There is that Catch 22 situation where the so called 'good Agents' won't accept you on their books unless you have a track record or experience and you can't get either unless you have an Agent.  Do you really need an Agent though?

An Agent? 

When you do eventually find an Agent, how good are they?  If you are lucky and have a good agent anything you do for yourself can only propel your career.
If you have not got a good agent then you have to take more control of your situation.

One of my Agents looked after a lot of TV and radio presenters.  When one had dropped out of favour and he could no longer market them, he would turn his attention to the others in his stable that he could.  I was in the office on occasions when a job came in that I knew I was suitable for. I wasn't offered that opportunity. The Agent choose the safe bet, the guy who was most marketable at the time. Understandable isn't it?  So I had to find my own work through my own contacts.

What becomes of you, the Artiste, if after a period of time nothing is happening?
You may discover that the Agent has handed over your file, your future, your career to some intern in their office to take care of!  It happened to me.
I signed to an Agency  for 3 years. After 3 months he left to become a partner of another Agency.  My 'file' was passed to someone else in the office to be taken care of, someone less quailfied.  After 2 months I left, but not before having to pay him off with £7,000 for the release of my contract.

Ross 'Braveheart' King

Whether you are an established artiste or a newcomer to show-business there is only one answer.

Control your destiny. Be your own Agent

There are a few people from my era that did that. You know who they are, because they are still working.  Ross King is one of them.  He and I worked parallel careers for many years during the 80's and 90's.  Both fitting a similar criteria in radio and television presenting, then Ross took charge of his future.
A true professional, a very good negotiator and a good businessman. He represents himself. His career has gone where he wanted it to go.  Ross, or 'Braveheart' as I call him, now lives under the letter D of the Hollywood sign in LA, in a great house, with a pool, his own radio studio and his lovely lady. He is doing what he enjoys and on his terms.

The 'Agent', as we once knew it, is a dying breed. It's a dated concept.  Times have changed and now there is an approach that could see you living next door to Braveheart, under the letter O.  A new medium has made it possible to cut out the middle man and end handing over a percentage of your hard earned money.
The 'Internet' has opened up a new way for you to be seen and heard and to find the jobs that Agents used to only have access to.  My casting platform displays auditions and opportunities that are updated daily.

Nino Firetto Casting  posts Presenting and Acting jobs in TV, film, theatre.  

From my contacts, I have made work in the entertainment industry accessible to everyone. Newcomers, Actors and established Presenters. Instead of paying an Agent, being tied to a contract, missing the opportunities and waiting for the phone to ring, it's time you controlled your career.

Be your own  Agent.  First build your CV, add your photos and details on what is your 'personal Profile Page' and then apply for any of the listings that you feel suitable for.  Control your future.

By the way a lot of the postings I used to add here I now put on the Nino Firetto Casting Facebook Page, please 'Like It' .. I promise not to leave it so long till the next time.
If you would still like to give 15 or 20% of your earnings to an Agent here is a list of them that you might like to try with their contact details  click on -> Leeches

MY DAYS AS A MOVIE EXTRA

Written by Jadie Troy-Pryde for Yahoo

Ever wondered what it's like to walk around a movie set, chatting to directors and acting in a film alongside some famous names? Growing up I was lucky enough to do exactly that. As an extra, you're not always given the opportunity to pull out all the stops for that Oscar winning performance, but it's a fantastic way to get to know what it feels like behind the scenes. And it's a pretty big deal when Steven Spielberg introduces himself to you …

If you think you have what it takes, take a look at what you can expect from life as a movie extra.
Big names
When I was 11, I was an extra in the BBC series, 'Band of Brothers'. I was told that David Schwimmer and the casting agents had chosen me specifically from my agency for a scene at a beautiful location in Hertfordshire. Once I had finished in hair, make-up and costume, I was taken to the set. I remember a man with glasses coming over to me and shaking my hand. 'Hello, I'm Steven,' he said. 'I'm Jadie,' I replied nonchalantly, and turned away. It was only later when my Dad told me who it was that I realised - I had met Steven Spielberg, and I didn't even know it! I've met tonnes of celebrities from working as an extra, from Helen Mirren to Paul Whitehouse. Being an extra is a fantastic way to meet some of the biggest names in film and it's a great way to make yourself known by directors, producers and casting agents. Just make sure you know who you're talking to!
Looking the part
Perhaps it's not everyone's idea of fun, but one of my favourite things about being on set was getting ready for filming. You may be under the impression that as an extra it doesn't really matter what you wear or how your hair looks - WRONG! The director is trying to create a whole scene, and you are a part of that. I once filmed a scene for a movie called Sam's Circus which was set in the 40's, and everything from the bobbles in my hair to the socks on my feet was chosen specifically by the styling and wardrobe teams. It's a great way to experiment with different looks, too - and it provides you with access to a vast number of outfits!
Meeting people
The most rewarding part of being a movie extra is talking to exciting people. Shooting scenes often takes much longer than you'd imagine, and when you're on set for up to twelve hours you start to realise how much time is spent getting to know other extras and actors. Don't disregard the people who are doing the same job as you just because you'd rather try and network with the film crew. Between takes is the perfect time to get chatting to 'Man 6' who is standing next to you because you never know how much experience they have had and you can always learn from other people. He may be 'Man 6' now, but in two years he could be the next Russell Crowe.
Last but not least… eating!
Shooting could start at 6:00 a.m. and finish at 10:00 p.m. It's a tiring job, and you're often feeling rather hungry once you've walked through the same hallway for the 78th time. Luckily, being a movie extra means that you'll never go hungry on set. Often there are several tables, pop-up tents and food vans not too far away that are always happy to provide you with a decent, hot and the best part - complimentary! - meal. You're sure to find something to eat whether it is morning, noon or night and you will always be well looked after. If you're filming a scene in a kitchen or food hall, your plates will be topped up at the beginning of each take for consistency. I remember filming a dinner scene where my 'family' and I were eating a roast dinner. Every time we started filming, I went straight for the chicken, and every time we started the scene again fresh chicken was put on my plate! After the third take, however, I was so stuffed that I stuck to nibbling at the vegetables ...
Getting extra work
There are so many agencies around that it's often difficult to decide who to go with. Look at an agency's client book to see what kind of people they represent and enquire about how much work is on offer for you with regards to your age, gender and 'look'. As an extra, I could earn anything from £100+ for a few hours work. You may not have the lead role, but always be the three P's: professional, punctual and a pleasure to work with.
