Getting A Theatrical Agent - Part Two

Dear Eric Klass,

I'm glad that your insight on my question may help others in my situation, and I thank you for withholding my name.

I made my envelopes and cover letters stand out. I outlined the edges, front and back, of my envelopes with purple highlighter. My cover letter had a hand-drawn girl peeking out of a door way, and below, a very brief introduction:

"Hey there! My name is ***** and I am currently seeking new theatrical representation. I was hoping that you would be the one to help open the doors for me. Please don't hesitate to call me or my manager to set up a meeting. I look forward to meeting you!"

And all of them were individually signed by me, with accompanying phone numbers for both my manger and me. My manager says that the main reason she can't get me into offices, is the fact that I don't have tape. I have decided to produce my own reel through *******, or by renting the equipment myself. I understand that my not having tape is like being a painter without any art to show interested buyers, so I'm getting on that as soon as possible. My commercial agent isn't getting me out as much as I would hope, so I don't know if I should even ask her about
any possible referrals or suggestions until I have tape.



Eric Klass replies…

Your envelope and covering letter sound very cute and “openable”.

Speaking just for myself, what would turn me off a bit would be the “call me or my manager” statement in your covering letter. What this would say to me is that – if this person has a manager, why isn’t the manager doing the contacting of agents – rather than leaving it to the client. If the manager doesn’t do this – what else don’t they do? Very off-putting – and a sign of possible trouble ahead in working with this manager.

Another trouble sign with a manager (or agent) is their stating that they can’t get you into offices because you don’t have tape. Baloney! Most new people or young people don’t have good professional tape is because they are just starting out and haven’t done much yet. A reputable, credible manager’s (or agent’s) job is to get their clients seen – and in most cases there is no time for tape. What does this kind of manager (or agent) do then?

Another Actor Asks - Getting A Theatrical Agent

Dear Eric Klass,

I am having a really hard time finding a theatrical agent, mostly because of my lack of credits. I have a manager and
a commercial agent, am SAG-eligible, and am young (I'm in the 16-23 age range). I sent out 57 submissions a couple of weeks ago, and still haven't heard back from them. My headshots are pretty good, and I have a lot of training
under my belt for someone my age. Could you help me diagnose the problem?

Thank you,


Dear (name withheld):

It’s difficult to diagnose your situation without seeing how you have presented yourself to these agents (your picture, resume, covering letter – even what your envelope looks like). Don’t forget – these people get vast numbers of submissions from people looking for representation every year, and unfortunately, many of these submissions do not get the attention they deserve. As someone who was an actors agent for more than forty years, believe me, there is an art to be learned in presenting yourself to these people in a manner that will gain their interest (i.e. an attractive envelope, a brief, respectful covering letter, etc.). Don’t be so quick to assume that your lack of credits is the reason you haven’t received replies from these people. Everyone was in that position at one time.

You write that you have a manager. What kind of input have they given you on this matter? Have you asked your commercial agent about suggestions for possible theatrical agents?

Please feel free to write me again if you wish.

Respect And Consideration

In a recent posting, I re-stated a fundamental belief of mine that actors must learn how to get themselves seen, by people who are in a position to help advance their careers, as “distinct individuals of unique and special talents, each deserving of respect and consideration”.

Every consultation I do with the actors who come in to see me deals mainly with this most vital issue – and I have written about it in many of my postings.

We discuss in detail the steps you, the actor, can take to better insure that the information you send out about yourself will actually get to, and be considered in the most advantageous way, by the proper people.

We discuss how you can make better use of the various methods and forms of sending out this information - your pictures, your resume, the general “attractiveness” of your presentation, the internet, etc. In short, what I feel are the ways to get a better response to what you are trying to tell people about yourself.

It is not that difficult, nor expensive, to learn. As I’ve seen in my years of experience, and often written about, the results can be career (and life) changing.

I acquired a commercial agent .Is it a good idea to send postcards to commercial casting houses mentioning this and where does one get a list of addresses .


Eric's Reply -

Firstly, I'm not a big fan of postcards. Millions of them arrive in people's mail
every day, and I don't think people pay any attention to them - plus the fact
that, being small, they always fall out all over the place and are a general pain in the neck.

As you say you just acquired a commercial agent, informing the various casting people
is what they are supposed to be doing, and I would give them a little time to see
if they do their job.

As to addresses of commercial casting directors, I would get a copy of Ross Reports.
They are pretty thorough and update themselves regularly.

I hope this helps.

An Actor Asks…

I hear so many different points of view about actors using the internet to promote themselves. What do you tell them?



Eric’s Reply…

When actors come in to consult with me these days, I find we spend more and more time discussing how the creative use of the internet by actors can be of great help in getting themselves seen (in person) by the people they have been hoping to reach.

It does require a bit of a different “mind-set” on the part of the actor from that of just having a website, a reel, or a photo gallery on line - and my thoughts on the subject are as follows:

As we all learned early in life with someone we had a “crush” on - or wanted to be friends with - the best way to get them to notice us was to be someplace where we were pretty certain we would encounter them. This approach can also work “professionally” for the actor.

These days, vast numbers of people watch sites like “You Tube”, etc. and I am convinced this is a perfect venue for actors to be seen – but there has to be a novel and creative approach to what the actor posts on such sites – something that will “get the word out” that what the actor has posted is clever or funny or “special”, and will draw notice to the actor, and the actor’s abilities.

As every actor is different, so there have to be different approaches for each actor (copying something done before is usually of no help - as we so often see with endless “re-makes” of films).

So, this is what we do more and more of these days in consultations – planning and discussing these little video “skits/auditions” tailored to the individual actor, with the aim of drawing a substantial audience and “getting the word out” about the actor – hopefully to the people the actor is trying to reach.

An Actor Asks…

“I always get very nervous before auditions, and as well as I think I hide it (after all, I am an actor) I think the people I audition for can tell – and I think that detracts from the quality of my audition. As a result, I don’t think I am booking the percentage of jobs that I should. Is there anything you can recommend to help me with this problem (aside from telling me not to be nervous)?”

Eric’s Reply –

As you can imagine, this is a very common problem. I have always told actors to play a little “game” with themselves, if they are nervous before an audition. What I tell them to do is say to themselves that they have little chance of getting the part, and just “hang loose” when they go into the audition, and try to have some fun with it. I think that people can “sense” nervousness, and that it detracts from your audition (or meeting) and plants doubt with the people you are auditioning for. I have found over the years that this little “trick” can be very helpful in showing you to the best of your abilities.

An Actor Asks...

When an actor comes in to see me for a consultation, there is a one-time-only fee of $150 – which includes the right of the actor to ask questions of me at a later date, at no additional cost whatsoever to the actor - which I will then try to answer to the best of my ability.

For the time being, I have decided to extend this free answering of questions to anyone interested in getting an idea of what I offer in my consultations (sort of the Baskin-Robbins ice cream “taste” – without the calories, of course).

There is no cost or obligation for the person wishing to ask a question, and I promise there will be no follow-up solicitation of the questioner, by me or by anyone associated with me. I do not even need to know the name of the questioner, if they do not wish to disclose it.

Simply e-mail your questions (no more than two at a time, please) to me at:

All The Money In The World - And More

Early on in my career as an actors agent, I realized that the studios and networks had access to all the money in the world – if they chose to spend it – which they invariably did not. As the years have passed, and studios and networks have been swallowed up by inter-galactic corporations, they now have access to all the money in this and other galaxies combined.

The reasons often given for being very reluctant to spend money on actors (and others, of course) took various forms, some of which were:

“We just don’t have it in the budget” (Meaning – “If my bosses don’t think I am hiring actors as cheaply as possible, I will be replaced by a guy with a crew-cut who will”.) Needless to say, if it is decided to go with “a name” for the part, lots of money suddenly becomes available.

“If we weren’t spending all that money on (star name here), there would have been more money for the rest of the cast.” (Meaning - Think about this one as you wait up for Santa Claus.)

“Everyone else testing for this part has agreed to this money” (Meaning – “If we tell this to everybody, many will panic and accept our initial offer”.)

“I’m not familiar with your client’s work” (Meaning – Strike fear! Go for the quick knockout! Let ‘em think you’re going to laugh in their face if they try to get more money.)

(More of these examples at a later date…)

Also, the meaning of different words and terms became clear to me:

“Feedback” – What they tell you when you don’t get the part.

“Non-Union Work” – You will not be paid for your services. If they did plan to pay you, it would be called “Union Work”.

“Deferment” – Money you will never receive.

“Points” – See above.

“Net Profits” – Ha Ha Ha.

“Most Favored Nations Clause” – Everybody has agreed to work for the same money, unless another party, such as the guy in the next office, decides to gift the star or stars with a Porsche.

(More of these examples at a later date…)

And let us not forget:

“Restaurants” – Down through the centuries, they have provided employment and shelter for struggling actors. So, if they want to serve trans-fats and 4,000 calorie hamburgers – I say “let ‘em!” – we owe them at least that much.

The Scams And The Rip-Offs - How Much Have They Cost You?

It is an unfortunate fact that a significant percentage of the money spent by actors in pursuit of advancing their careers winds up in the pockets of individuals who cannot and do not provide the services they advertise.

The problem for the actor is how to distinguish the legitimate providers of services such as representation, advice, acting classes, workshops, etc. – from the others.

One thing to bear in mind is that if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

Another good general rule to bear in mind is that just because something is more expensive, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it is better than something less costly.

The most important thing in such situations is to verify what is being offered you, and also verify the actual qualifications and backgrounds of the people offering it. Aside from the way they describe themselves and the services they offer, the actor must seek out independent verification of who these people are, and what their backgrounds and qualifications really are.

Before you spend your money on such services, you need to know as much as possible about the people you are dealing with.

Doing due diligence before will save you a lot of anger and frustration (and money) later on.

Cold Reading Workshops

More and more often these days, the only direct access that many actors have to people involved in the casting process, is by participating in so-called “cold-reading workshops”.

There is a very long and distinguished history to theatrical casting, which continues to this day. However, these days, quite a number of casting directors, and/or members of their staffs, participate in so-called “cold reading” workshops, classes, etc. – a relatively recent phenomenon – in which actors must pay in order to audition or be seen by them.

Stated simply, people employed in a hiring process should not be taking money from people seeking to be hired by them. It is, at best, a conflict of interest. Many actors feel however, rightly or wrongly, that to be seen by casting people these days, there is little alternative but to pay and attend these workshops.

Perhaps one day, the studios, networks, production companies, or advertisers who are the
direct or indirect employers of the casting people who are benefiting financially from this process will be brought into the debate, and will have to decide – under public scrutiny – if this process is something with which they wish to be associated.

A Comment -And My Reply

I received this comment the other day. This person raises a good point which I think deserves a detailed reply.
Here is the comment and my reply -


anonymous said...
What really makes you such an expert? will the advice you give for $150.00 make that much of a difference and if so how? It is the producers choice who to pick for the job, will this info make an impact on him/her?
March 22, 2007 8:11 PM


Eric Klass replies...

I am always very careful not to describe myself as “an expert”. What I tell actors is that what I am giving them are my opinions, formed over more than 40 years as an actors agent - opinions they are free to question, or even, disagree with. I always tell them to beware of people who claim to know everything - and I welcome their thoughts, questions, etc. about the advice I give them.

It is true that it is the producer’s job to decide whom to pick for the job. The big problem for the actor is how to become one of the possible choices. One cannot be picked for the job, if one cannot get in to audition for the job – and that is where my many years of representing actors is of great help to the actor.

There are many people out there, promising many things to actors, often at great and continuing costs to the actor. The actor must make the often confusing choices as to whom to listen to. My 40+ years as an actors agent has given me a lot of experience and success in getting actors in to be seen by the people who have the power to hire them.

That is what I offer actors today.

Establishing An Overall Game Plan For Your Acting Career

Since I started conducting one-on-one consultations with actors - after many years as a talent agent - one thing has become very clear to me – that many actors lack any semblance of an overall game plan toward achieving success in their chosen career.

As we know, actors are faced, on a daily basis, with a multitude of choices and decisions to be made regarding their careers. It can be very confusing and frustrating – decisions and choices such as:

Finding good representation – agents, managers, publicists, etc. – deciding who you should be contacting, and finding the best ways of contacting them.

Getting auditions – why do most of your auditions come from you and not your
representatives? Also, should you be paying to audition, and if so, who?

Acting classes, photographers, etc. – There are so many to choose from. How do you find the right ones for you?

For you, the actor, it is a question of learning to step back and look at “the big picture”,
and then being shown how to chart the path best suited to you.

It is not as difficult as it sounds. It is something learned over many years of representing actors – and it is something that you can learn to do in a short amount of time – usually about one hour.

There are no “tricks” or hidden costs here. You and I have a private one-on-one session,
with a one-time-only fee of $150 (which also allows you to make follow-up calls to me at no extra cost).

I’d be happy to answer any questions you might have about the above. Please feel free to
contact me via my e-mail: eklass@earthlink.net. I will reply.

"The Actor As Unique Individual - Using Your Head Instead Of Your Wallet"

Actors often find themselves in the midst of a “carnival sideshow” – populated by individuals offering to sell them costly “information”, “programs” or “services”, which claim to be of help in advancing the actor’s career.

The choice for the actor among all these claims is often difficult and confusing.

There is, however, a very simple program in which actors can participate – to help them understand the nature of the acting business (and the industry at large) – and this program is absolutely free.

It is called “doing one’s homework”.

Actors must educate themselves as to the field in which they attempt to participate. It is a very simple process – as simple as watching television – or attending movies or theatre, to learn, and familiarize themselves, as to who the other players “in the league” are (particularly the working actors) and then finding out, through legitimate sources (websites such as imdb.com - or reliable interview sources, magazine and otherwise), what the backgrounds of these working individuals really are and how they actually got their starts.

Gaining such information can also be a healthy “dose of reality” – as well as an antidote – against the often outrageous (and costly) schemes being offered to actors.

As actors strive to learn and to succeed, they must learn to protect themselves against those who would take advantage of them, and also learn to avail themselves of far less costly information which is available to them.

"The Actor As Unique Individual - Learning To Stand Apart From The Multitude"

All people are unique individuals. Just as our DNA and fingerprints are unique, we ourselves are all unique. Acting, more than any other profession, makes use of this uniqueness in the way that actors perform, each in their own way, no two being exactly alike. When we see successful actors, we rarely have trouble telling them apart. We know them by their uniqueness.

More and more often these days, with the advances in electronic technology, actors unfortunately find themselves as “peas” in a very big electronic “pod”. Also, these days, when actors are presented with the opportunity to audition for individuals who are part of the casting process, the actors often have to “line up” and pay for the privilege.

Actors must learn how to use their own talents and uniqueness to stand apart as individuals – and be seen and recognized as such by those who can help advance their careers.

"The Actor's Career - A Battle On Many Fronts"

Any individual seeking to establish a career as a working actor faces major battles on many fronts.

The primary battle the actor faces is the continuing struggle to find work - and all that struggle entails - the proper preparation and training, the struggle to be seen by the people who are truly involved in the hiring process, also including, but not limited to, achieving legitimate representation to help in gaining access to these people.

Another major battle the actor faces is against those I refer to as "The Profiteers". Their ads and solicitations are everywhere. They look too good to be true - and invariably they are. Individuals such as these are always found in situations where many people compete for few "prizes". These "Profiteers" take advantage in such situations by charging usually exorbitant sums for promises on which they cannot deliver - and for services that they are incapable of providing. They prey on the desperate and the frustrated - and the actors life, unfortunately, is often one of desperation and frustration.

These are not the only battles the actor faces - but they are the best areas in which to begin any discussion of actors and their careers.



OTHER POSSIBLE FUTURE DISCUSSION SUBJECTS INCLUDE -

"Getting Seen By The Right People" - The "do's" and "don'ts" of presenting yourself to the right people - those who can actually help you get work.

"How To Spot The Scammers and Profiteers - And How To Avoid Them" - also,
how to find the individuals who can legitimately help you.

"Checking The Credentials" - of the people who are seeking money from you (for their advice - or other services they claim to provide).

"How The Internet Can Help You" - and how it can also work to your disadvantage.



Your questions and opinions on these - and other such subjects - are invited. Let's hear from you.





Copyright 2007, Eric Klass Consulting. All rights reserved.

"Finding The Right Agent"

There is a lot of information "out there" regarding agents. Unfortunately a lot of this information is not kept up to date - or is just plain wrong.

A case in point -

My partner, Mike Belson, retired from the agency business in June 1994, and at that time Belson & Klass Associates became The Eric Klass Agency - until I closed my office in April 2006. That, now in January, 2007, I still receive pictures and resumes addressed to The Eric Klass Agency is understandible. That I still receive pictures and resumes addressed to Mike Belson at The Eric Klass Agency is not. Not only is there misinformation out there, apparently available on a large scale (Mike still gets lots of envelopes) but this misinformation apparently states that, not only didn't Mike retire 14 years ago, but that he now works for me!!! (A fact I remind him of every time we speak).

My conclusion:

Verify your facts before you contact people. Things like the correct spelling of their names, their addresses, etc. Also, use an envelope that looks like it might be interesting to open (nicely and neatly addressed). Don't write things on the envelope - like "Seeking Representation", etc. Believe me, they already know what these envelopes contain - and it's not pizza. (More on these envelopes and their contents at another time).

And now, back to the chase...

So, be skeptical of the information you see. My personal advice is to check with people familiar with the day to day dealings of various agents. I think the ideal people to speak with about agent recommendations for you, are people you know who work in Casting. Casting Directors and their staffs work with agents on a daily basis - so if you have such a friend, ask them for their advice.

At last - a meeting with an agent!

As an agent, whenever I would interview an actor for possible representation I would want to know things about them, other than what I had read in their resume, and seen in their picture - how they saw themselves, what they hoped to achieve as actors - essentially their "view of reality". I would briefly tell them about myself and my "view of reality", as it pertained to the people I represented, the business, etc.

I always tell actors that all they can expect from an agent is a common bond of understanding and a willingness of both parties to enthusiastically work hard on making the relationship successful. There are no magic formulas. There is only hard work.

(More on this subject at a later date)

A Footnote To My Earlier Post

As a "consultant", I charge a one-time fee of $150 with no additional or hidden costs - or sneaky "kickback" things - like referrals. For that, the actors get a one-on-one private meeting with me (which usually runs about one hour) regarding them and their specific situations, along with my opinions and suggestions as to the best way for them to best navigate their way through the business - in particular with regard to the way actors are financially abused today - along with the many other "roadblocks" actors must overcome - just to be seen.

That fee also gives them the right to call me (at no additional cost to them) with further questions which might occur to them the next day, the next week, etc. - sort of an "extended warranty".

In these sessions with actors, I can also be a lot more frank and blunt and specific about things (that I might consider to be extortion, fraud, false pretenses, etc.) than I ever could be on line.

My point in laying out these questions was (and is) to let people know that someone like me is very aware of what they go through on a daily basis, and - if I may be very blunt - that there are ways of dealing with (and getting around) the bastards out there who are trying to "stick it to them".

"Getting In Through The Front Door" - Tips On Your Picture And Resume

Over the many years that I owned my own talent agency, I personally opened, and looked at, every picture and
resume that had been sent to me. Over that period of time, I formed definite opinions as to what I thought worked
to the benefit of the actor - and what didn't.

Your picture and resume are such an important part of your life as an actor, that whenever an actor comes in to
see me in my capacity as a consultant, it is the first subject that I discuss with them.

The unfortunate fact is that most pictures and resumes immediately wind up in the "recycling bin" - or are immediately
disposed of by the dreaded "delete key".

The fact remains that your picture and resume are the most direct way of introducing yourself to people who can help
you get acting work.

What can you do to get your envelope opened, and its contents read by the right people?

What kind of picture, and how many different pictures should you include in your submission envelope?

Your resume - what I think helps, and what I think turns people off.

Your covering letter - what I think are the most common mistakes actors make with it - and how to avoid these mistakes.

And - most importantly - what I think are the best ways to "get through" to Casting Directors, their "assistants, "associates", etc. - in their capacity as paid employees of the casting process - rather than having to pay to be seen by them in their extracurricular activities as self-proclaimed "teachers" in the so-called "cold reading workshops" that seem to be everywhere these days.

About Eric Klass

I was an actor's agent for more than thirty-five years. For thirty-two of those years, I was owner of my own talent agency in Beverly Hills, California (Belson & Klass Associates, later, The Eric Klass Agency). Prior to my moving to California in 1974, and opening my own agency, I had run the New York office of Peter Witt Associates, a very prestigious independent New York agency.

Clients of mine over the years have included Sir Anthony Hopkins, Robert Duvall, Don Johnson, Ed Begley, Jr. and Eli Wallach - among many others.

My former partner, Mike Belson, and I never sought fame or notoriety for ourselves at our agency. Our clients were the focus of our attentions. When Mike Belson retired from the agency business in 1994, I continued on alone - until April, 2006, when I, too, decided to retire from the agency business.

One thing that I have seen change dramatically over the years is the increasing financial victimization of actors. In other words, more and more these days, actors have to pay to be seen or auditioned - often by people involved in the hiring of actors. It makes actors lives a lot more difficult - and a lot more costly.

As a working actors agent, it is very difficult to speak out about such perceived injustices - out of fear of reprisals - particularly toward one's clients. Now, as a "former talent agent", I am able to vigorously address this issue - along with other such issues which face actors these days.

I will be posting further on similar subjects of interest to the actor in the near future. Meanwhile, I will be happy to reply to any questions or comments you may have.
