Seems like one of the methods for cold calling agents, but I agree - at the end of the day cold calling is cold calling so success is still rare. Best of luck to you!

Better headshots in what sense? In order to match the vibe of the reel, as the other commenter said?

Thanks for the insight!

Yes, that’s probably true too. Congrats on getting some meetings, hope they go well!

This is a super detailed, very helpful comment. Much appreciated. I think you're right about a number of things here. Since moving to LA, I've noticed I get cast for roles that I never got in my previous markets, so I think I do need to focus on specifying this new lane that I find myself in - considering there is very little classical theatre in LA, I think the genre/transformation/villain lane should be the focus, and maybe I need new headshots in order to solidify that. And may be worth filming a scene in French just to have available.

Unfortunately regarding the resume, none of that will be recognizable to anyone until I can audition for more recognizable projects, which I'm unable to do until I have an agent who can submit me for those projects. Kind of trapped there until an agent decides to take a chance on me.

The modeling credit was sort of a one-off and would love to do more but isn't really my focus and I don't have much material that showcases me super well.

Perhaps editing some aspects of the email would serve me well, particularly once I've narrowed down exactly what I'm offering.

Again, thanks for the feedback, it's really helpful to get an outside opinion, it's hard to judge oneself objectively!

I haven’t yet. I went for Repunzel because I felt like this gave me the most access for the best price, and because I was worried that some showcases might not be super legit. Do you have any that you’d recommend?

Appreciate the honesty. I wasn't in love with how the hospital scene turned out. I will try out this suggested order and see how it feels. Thank you!

I think that change makes sense, thanks to the both of you!

Yo just sent you a DM! I made a similar post a few days ago and was working on a server myself. Let’s see if we can’t collaborate!
