How can I get a talent agent to represent me in LA?

I%26#039;m a struggling actress and I%26#039;ve been submitting my headshot and resumes as well as my cover letters to various (and legit) talent agencies in Hollywood and LA, and I havent been getting any replies what so ever. I%26#039;ve attended many casting workshops, showcases, acting classes....and still no luck. I will never give up because I%26#039;m extremely dedicated, determind, persistant, and I have perseverance for what is to come. Acting in mainstream entertainment film industry is my dream, but it is a long process and it is a little frustrating with no luck. If anyone has any connections, any more advice to offer, or would be willing to help me out in anyway possible, it would be greatly and beyond appreciated. Thank You.

I%26#039;m with you too so your not the only one. I%26#039;m having the same problem. But remember that a lot of agencies get many many many candidates for this industry all the time. It might take a few weeks to a month to get a call or letter. My friend had the same problem so she just keep sending in her stuff to the same people with a couple of different agencies and she finally got a call now she has many wanting her. That whats she telling me to do and I hope it works. Also make sure that they represent what you want to get into. Some only does theater or some do all. Also if you do get a call from one and then you audition for a role and land it make sure you have a permit in the industry flied you can get one at childrenflims.com. Also just don%26#039;t send your stuff to them sign up on there website if you can. I live in Texas and I almost sent my stuff to one where I live but found out they only do ages 5-15 and I just trued 16 so that was a downer. But keep your head up high. What you want will happen if you want it bad enough like you say you do.

Same principle as with all casting Agencies, perseverence is the key.





But you also need to lead in from the ground up. Remember, casting agencies get hundreds and thousands of applications, its fairly certain you could wait 6 months to a year to hear back from them, and thats IF you have something that interests them. Then you also need to consider the very real possibility that a lot of these agencies will not read through every single applicant. They will look to see if a name is recognizable, and process from there, or add the name to a database and keep track of you from there.





To enhance your chances, move to US and register with any legit agency, and take all the work you can get. Theatre, Adverts. For the main agencies anywhere to sign you, you need to get noticed, but to be noticed you need to be there and be seen. It%26#039;s going to be a long hard struggle, so never give up. Move to US and work whatever legit work you can find. Every 6 months send out your resume and keep doing your best and learning your craft.
