Going it alone

Now that actors can subscribe, for free, to Spotlight Link by themselves if they have no agent - has anyone tried it and found that it works for them?

all the best for 2008

Well, how do you KNOW they dont intend on casting people without an agent?

I ahve gotten auditions simply becasue I was right for something etc.. and at the time, I auditioned for 42nd street, and a couple of other things, despite the fact taht i had an agent who I have since left.

For Tv and flm a reputable agent is crucial, but otherwise, you need to plug on.

Gone with the wind was a selective casting and I suspect its going to be "clone" casting- for people who match Vivien leigh and Clark Gable. they are icons, after all.

So it may have been just that you did not get cast cos of look.If you were PERFECT and they found you in a pile of CVs, they WOULD see you- trust me. Their jobs depend on it.

Sadly thats what MT is going towards, and i hate it just as much...

Fair play, then - I'll just keep ploughing on - was just interested to hear if anyone else had been seen for anything from the Spotlight breakdowns in particular.

I'm happy to admit it most probably isn't my lack of agent that meant i haven't been seen for anything, I'm not that arrogant to think that just because I thought i was suitable for something, the casting agent thought the same! I realise my post could have come across that way, but it wasn't meant to, honestly!

Do you know how manmy actors who ARE suitable dont get seen? You may very well ahve been suitable as well.

Im playing catch 22 but ultimately, in a business that is so over saturated, its anyones guess why you werent seen... and its a new production so they want names to carry it. Its prob more about that than anything.

Keep going- get into a showcase and write off for an agent- step by step.
