Panel of Talent Agents
Happy New Year! And we are starting 2016 with a BANG! On Wednesday, January 13th, we will feature the 1st of 2 panels of talent agents as our guest speakers! Our first panel will be on Wednesday, January 13th, the next will be Wednesday, February 10th, and you should attend both Network Austin Mixers.
Talent agents are those hard-working people who represent us in the industry in order to set us up for auditions with casting directors, negotiate contracts and work hard on our behalf, plus getting the latest info about what’s happening in the biz. This is exactly what our attendees can expect from this panel. Each agent will be introduced and give a brief overview of his/her agency and experience. We then will open the floor to Q&A. This is a very important Mixer that you do not want to miss… so join us! Our panel will include the following talent agents, listed in alphabetical order by agency:
☆ Liz Atherton, The Atherton Group
☆ Linda Alcazar, Condra Artista
☆ Debora Duckett, dB Talent
☆ Tory Christopher, Tory Christopher Group
Non-represented talent currently seeking representation is invited to bring 4 headshots & resumes and/or demo tapes to put on the stage floor in front of each of our speakers, before the panel starts, so that they will each have submission packages to review when they leave.
Make sure your headshot and resume are the same size and stapled back-to back.
Come join us on Wednesday, January 13, 2016, arrive early for a cold margarita, network and meet new friends with like minds, enjoy a fun-filled evening with other guests and get the info you need to know about these talent agents, what they do, what they are looking for, landing the roles, upcoming projects and more!
