Actor Growth

So I sent off a message to all of the agencies that I am potentially interested in and believe that will be it for my inquiries for me to decide who to go with. Essentially, I got four responses out of five and the responses have been interesting so far.

One agency is ready to take me on and is just letting me decide and another mentioned that I would be too much of a conflict with their existing roster and to try again in 6 months. Another replied to me, was the agent herself, and asked me what my age was and I haven’t heard anything back since. The last one responded to me with a particular agent from the agency saying while she isn’t looking for anyone at the time, she will pass my information around as a different agent who works there may be interested in me.

In general, I only got to actually meet and speak with one out of the five agencies in-person so far. So now the question is, how long do I wait before I say “These guys are off my list” and to finally make a decision to go with someone? Most people say you should wait two to four weeks to get a response as it could be that they haven’t had time to see your package yet. However, in my case thanks to the Internet I know that everyone saw my package and add that to the fact that someone acknowledge that they are evaluating.

I think I will give it two to three weeks still though unless something crazy comes up where I absolutely need new representation now in which case I will sign with the one that offered representation. Of course, the option is there for me to just keep things the way they are but that would be kind of silly as I wouldn’t be looking for a change if it was working out.

I’ll definitely try to keep myself busy too with things like independent films.
