Agent Life

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.

@JoseemeRollin Smashing! SAG/AFTRA strike is well and truly over 🙌

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

[Agent Life @AgentingLife]

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”

[Agent Life @AgentingLife]

@RobertRhodes160 @BotchedTV These people are not worth a second thought, they make money off the weak & insecure. They can’t recognise true beauty & strength.

COVID-19 has made me an introvert. I need a minimum 3 G&Ts to feel like my old self & 3 days to recover from the anxiety

@natalie00law @JoseemeRollin Congratulations!!!! Shame to loose another incredible Agent, we need more of you.

[Agent Life @AgentingLife]

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
#BitchPlease #OOO #wah

[Agent Life @AgentingLife]

@TimFrost23 @EquityUK Supposed to

[Agent Life @AgentingLife]

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

[Agent Life @AgentingLife]

@VoicecallOnline H) convincing clients to not work for free so
i. You don’t have to too
ii. Doesn’t set precedents

[Agent Life @AgentingLife]

@thebakingagent More than welcome to add! I ran out of characters

[Mary Liz Management @MaryLizMgmt]

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.
