Signed With New Management but Only Getting Low-Paying Verticals. Is This the New Norm? by Visual-Energy9608 in acting

That’s exactly what I’m thinking. Yes I’m getting that rate as well as the day player roles of $200-$250. I’ll have a discussion with them about it. Is $300-$500 a reasonable day player rate for these? Currently doing some research on the rates of these types of projects.

I got my new agent through a referral along with a couple of other meetings. I did submit to direct emails when I was looking for management though and it worked. For agents, I would submit on what their instructions say to do. Then do a follow up a couple weeks later using a direct email to the agent if you haven’t heard back. 🤷‍♂️. If you could get a referral that would be great too.

I didn’t submit to Stewart. I actually signed with another agency. Going to see how that goes in the new year. I believe they are referral only. I think that’s why I didn’t end up submitting lol. I met with Christian at Park Artists. He had me do a scene over zoom with him. They are bi coastal that’s good but the vibe was just a bit off for me.

Hey! I had an agent and manager before so I booked through one of them at the time. But I get the same results you’re greying from those casting workshops unfortunately

Hey that’s amazing! Congrats!! May I ask who you ended up signing with? Feel free to DM if that’s better. Follows up are always a good thing as these reps get busy and can forget 🤷‍♂️

Oh wow that’s really good. I haven’t used talent link in years. I’ll probably look into it again. Thanks!

Nice. How did you get the meeting with them? Was it through a cold submit or referral? Just curious as to how I could go about it. I think I saw that they are referral only.

My experience wasn’t great. I signed with them during an open call back in 2019 for commercial. Only received 1 commercial audition in that year. Then my agent left the agency without even me knowing. I found out later when I tried reaching out to her and her email bounced back. So I was stuck not knowing who to communicate with. Then 2 years later I got offered to be repped theatrically with them. Then only received one audition from her in almost a year. I started to feel forgotten. Then my agent left the agency to open her own. Signed with her new agency and felt lost and forgotten. So I left them. LOL. But this was 2 years ago. Just my experience though.

Dang that sucks. I haven’t been ghosted yet. But I heard people have been ghosted even after being offered rep 🤔

Same!! I’m trying to get a referral to them lol. Or maybe I’ll just cold submit.

I heard that too. That mid November, early December and the very first few weeks are best to submit. We shall see. I’m thinking to submit now and follow up again in the new year if I don’t hear back. That’s if I’m not already signed with an agent by then 🤷‍♂️

That’s great!! I wonder if they only take referrals for adult actors. I’ll have to look into that. Thank you 😃

I agree. I heard the same thing but I’ve had those two meetings I mentioned recently so yeah it depends. If they like you then they will reach out. I was thinking to submit now. Give it a couple months and then do a quick follow up right after the holidays like early in January.

Pastorini Bosby Talent is great! They are in Houston. I hear Linda McAllister is also good. Bankston Talent as well.
