I am actually talking about a TV hosting demo (and I am also an actor) but I haven’t found any hosting subreddit so I am asking this here because it can be pretty similar. In my demo, I have a good variety of different hosting gigs: scripted, vlog, interview...

Referral from a friend?

So recently I became friends with an actor I met on a short film set. He’s been giving me great exposure and has given me a great opportunity in a really unique YouTube video with lots of exposure. Would it be too much to ask him to refer me to his agency?

Is Albuquerque New Mexico a good place to move to start auditioning?
