Searching For A Good Agent

Hello All,

In the past three years I have all but given up finding a good agent to represent me and get me the type of work I've been looking for (i.e. Cartoon/Charater Voice work). I recently sent a demo with a friend whose daughter-in-law is signed with angency in New York(Atlas). She has been able to get great work from her agent and I am hoping to get the same guy but I am not putting all my hope into that one person. So what I really want to know is....does anyone know where I can find a good agent? I find it drepressing to think that my work is still for the most part going un-noticed.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated and remembered.

Cheers guys...... Jason Smile

Hello Jason,

Unfortunately we are not in a position to recommend any agents, but here’s a link to one of our forums regarding a related topic:

Freddie is right Jason,

However, we are still left to ponder on what were appropriate agents for the year of 2006. Can you tell us 20 years from now?

Send me an e-mail in 20 years, so we won’t be left in suspense. Looking forward to the answer to the long unanswered question.
I ‘ll travel in my phone booth to get the answer..

See you in 20 years irre

Hey Jason!

My advice to ya if you haven't already done so is to locate agents in your area, send out your demo, and then follow up. Then, try doing a mass mailing of your demo to agencies across the US. I bet you'll get some good leads. May not be Atlas, or William Morris, but it's a start.

cheers,
Pax

My wife has recently broke into the VO industry, and has been quite successful- by contacting TV stations and studios directly. I do not currently have an agent, and when I did, I was not well represented. My advice is to become as self reliant as possible - first-get a track record-submit your demos and represent yourself. Then, if you need an agent, you will be more valuable and they will take you more seriously-then YOU can pick and choose!
