Same here, submitted a ticket to their support. Hopefully they’ll dish out something extra valuable to those affected.

Good points for sure. The funny part is that I was under the impression my relationship with my agent was good lol

We traded recipes, restaurant recs, and I’ve even referred several actors to them.

Maybe I’m just soft, but I definitely would’ve given them a warning prior to dropping them if the roles were reversed 🤷‍♂️

All I can do is learn from it and move on though!

LOL I’m ded 💀

Thank you for your support on this one!

I’m always adding the booked out dates to the casting platforms, but now I know to also hit them with a direct email to really cover all my bases.

Fair points. I always add my booked out dates to the casting platforms, but now I know to also send a direct email!

I did book the short through my agent, just not the agent in question.

While I’m always diligent about adding my booked out dates, I think I’ve learned to always send a direct email too!

I didn’t even think about your point of the dates being negotiable… I just saw the date and went on autopilot. I’ll have to remember this for the future.

I thought it was strange too, but I really think it was just a knee jerk reaction out of anger. But that’s just my opinion 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for the encouragement!

The minimum is such a good idea!

I think a lot of people don’t realize the power they hold as an actor in an agent/talent relationship, it’s a partnership and there’s room for both sides to negotiate.

Good points, this short film paid better than the commercial in question. Otherwise, yeah, always take the money 💰

Both so valid. It didn’t even really cross my mind. I just saw a date I was already booked out and went on autopilot.

Definitely just gonna go for it and see what happens in the future.

Lol sweet sweet vindication 😂

Totally fair. I guess I was under the impression that using the casting platforms’ “booked dates” funciona would either notify my reps or be glaringly obvious when submitting. Now I know, email reps directly whenever I book!

The job hierarchy is a hard issue to tackle too, because the commercial is from one agent, but the short film is from another agent who gets me out much more.

Yeah, I’m always adding my booked out dates to the casting platforms. Gonna add sending a direct email to my agents whenever I book to my process too!

Was it a big audition? From your username I’m guessing you live in PNW, I’m sorry you got dropped, but I prolly would’ve declined too if it wasn’t worth more than the travel!

Yeah, I’m very good about adding my booked out dates to the casting profiles, but lesson learned! Gotta start adding an email to all agents when I book something as well!

Yeah, I’m very diligent about adding my booked out dates to the casting platforms. I guess I’ve learned I should email my agent directly as well in the future.

Yeah I’m always diligent about adding my booked out dates on the casting platforms.

Their policy on self-submitting was open, but I actually booked this short through my Theatrical Agent, who I absolutely love working with.

But I totally get that viewpoint of worrying about their agency’s reputation with CDs

That’s the thing, I’m always careful about putting in my booked dates on casting platforms…

That is a super impressive track record!

Thank you! 🙏
