Panel of Talent Agents

Austin Skyline

As 2015 begins, The Network Austin Mixer Core Members Casting Director Donise Hardy and Actor/Writer/Psychic Gary Wimmer, along with volunteers Forrest Walls, Judith Ruder, and others, want to extend our deepest thanks to the guest speakers who have so graciously offered their time and insights over the last 8 years and to you folks who attend our mixers for making them the incredible successes they have become! The Network Austin Mixer will continue to present insightful and up-to-date guest speakers, and we are honored to have been an effective meeting & networking opportunity for so many in our community. Thanks for being a part of it!

Talent Agent Panel, part 1

On Wednesday January 14, 2015, Network Austin Mixer will feature the 1st of 2 panels of Talent Agents — who are about the most important people in any actor’s life.
January’s panel will feature the following esteemed talent agents:

Liz Lyons Atherton, owner of TAG
Veronica Kelley-Albiez, owner of DVA Talent
Tory Christopher, owner of Tory Christopher Group

Talent Agents represent us, set up auditions, and want to see us succeed and get good paying work. So it’s very important to know what the current needs and trends are… which is why we start out each new year with Talent Agents! Soooooo… plan on joining us on Wednesday, January 14, 2015 @ Baby Acapulco’s – 5610 North IH-35, Austin TX 78751, have a cold margarita, network, meet new folks with like minds, enjoy a fun-filled evening with our attendees, and get the latest about what Talent Agents are looking for in actors, what current breakdowns and projects are seeking in talent, and more!

Last Month…

We also want to thank the attendees who pitched themselves and their ideas at our last mixer on Wednesday, December 10, 2014. Well done! We feel sure you folks made some new connections and inspired others to show interest in your talents and projects. And that’s what it’s all about….

Next month, on Wednesday, February 11th, our 2nd of 2 talent agent panels will feature Jason Lee of Acclaim Talent, Romie Szal of K Hall Talent, Erin Franklin of Agence Talent, Cynthia Robbins of BLVD Talent, and Heather Collier of Collier Talent.

Join us on WEDNESDAY JANUARY 14, 2015 @ Baby Acapulco’s – 5610 North IH-35, Austin TX 78751 – have a cold margarita, network, meet new folks with like minds, learn from our panel, and enjoy a fun-filled evening with our attendees!

Let friends interested in the media worlds know about the Mixers. We put them on to provide opportunities for you folks to network and get information about acting, films, TV, and media.

  1. Hi, my daughter & would like to

    attend to the Mixer in January. It said to get tickets and I can’t see how to do that. Could you help me with this.

    Thank you,
    Kelly Rhodes

    1. Greetings, Kelly.

      The “Get Tickets” feature of a Facebook event is just a place to add the website link with more information, whether or not tickets are required. Maybe Facebook will eventually allow event creators to choose from among options, such as “Get Tickets” or “Website” so as to reduce confusion.

      This is why when I created the event on Facebook I specified that this event is FREE. I am so sorry you missed that, and for any confusion.

      I hope you and your daughter ended up attending! It was wonderfully informative. You and she may also like to attend next month’s mixer which will feature another panel of talent agents.

      Are you on our emailing list? If not, you may join near the top righthand of this page.

      Looking forward to seeing you at a Network Austin Mixer. :)

      Regards,
      Judith

    1. So sorry, Mike. Network Austin Mixers always start at 6:00PM, with speakers or panels of speakers beginning at 6:45PM on the 2nd Wednesday monthly, unless otherwise noted.

      Since the time is the same each month, it’s on our front page. Perhaps it would be helpful if I add it to each monthly post to help readers not miss it.

      I hope you were able to attend! And maybe we’ll see you next month at which time there’ll be another panel of talent agents.

  2. Enjoyed the mixer earlier today. Was totally outstanding in that I learned a lot. Have a passion for entertaining and can’t wait to get more and more involved as I attend these mixers.

    Grateful to be a part of the mix…

    1. Really glad you were there and enjoyed this month’s mixer, Stew!
      Did you meet many people, get questions answered, make new connections?

      Hope you’ll come back next month for a 2nd panel of talent agents!
