    Secondary Theatrical Agents

    Question for you all! I live in LA and am rep'd here with both a theatrical agent and manager. While I've had a handful of auditions, work has been slow for me and I know a big part of that is that as an actor with so few credits and studios currently seeming...

    Yes, it is the same story as everyone else’s. I’m from a small town that’s an hour away from any cities. Even the bigger ones have little to no market outside of local commercials (which are EXTREMELY competitive- no agent, no audition). There are five...
