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 -

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?

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.
