Lucky to be an Agent to VIABLE, brilliant, talented & sometimes confusing artists. These thoughts are a result of a days grafting rewarded with too many gins.
ACTORS, calculate the commission you’ve paid to your agent since lockdown. Chances are that’s their total income for the last 4 months. Difference is, they have not stopped working because you have.

When I see people write comments like
‘It’s a tiny role’ Or ‘blink and you miss them’.
It literally brings me out in hives.
It takes the same level of talent (lord above if not MORE.) to play a fully developed character with only one scene of info to go on. Or god forbid
Whether you’re a monarchist or not a family, a country & the world has lost a lifelong figure of grace & duty, a woman who sacrificed her life to fulfil her responsibility until her dying days.
It’s not the time to speculate or fight but a time to be respectful.

There’s lots of poaching going on at the moment. If you’re being approached by other agencies, ask yourselves WHY.
Why do they NEED to take you on?
Why didn’t they WANT you without credits?
Why would you leave the Agent that BELIEVED in & fought for YOU before being “worthy”
@RobertRhodes160 @BotchedTV These people are not worth a second thought, they make money off the weak & insecure. They can’t recognise true beauty & strength.
We are heartbroken to say that we will be the final ALRA South third years. Our school has unexpectedly closed. Any industry PLEASE help the students who haven’t been signed yet. We have missed so much with covid in 1st/2nd year and now the closed school. Alra south 2022 xx
When there’s a post “I haven’t had a day off / holiday in so long” you start to feel for them… before scrolling & see they’ve bragged about multiple hols in a year & even travelled overseas during a pandemic…
Sympathy is underrated when undeserved

Why some Agents get moody -
A) Working 7 days a week
B) Working whilst on “holiday”/“annual leave”
C) Tapes coming in out of hours
D) Tapes due out of hours
E) Tapes with less than the #equity 3 day min time frame
F) Working on commission/below the poverty line
Please be kind
TOP TIP - Self tape deadline is a cut off point NOT a TARGET. Sod's law - you leave it til the last minute, and you'll get another urgent one with same deadline. And your poor agent will have to juggle all at same time.

When you see posts celebrating immoral, creepy, dishonest, fraudulent Agents & Casting Directors.
This industry isn’t regulated. Do your research. Ask around.
