Talent Agent Panel
We’re starting off 2019 with the first of 2 Panels of Talent Agents. As an integral element of our success, talent agents represent us, arrange auditions, and strive to secure us good-paying work. Therefore it’s critical to know what the current needs and trends are — which is why we start out each year with talent agents. Get the scoop about these agencies’ needs and what you can do to get before casting directors and involved in paying projects by joining us on Wednesday, January 9th @ Opal Divine’s Austin Grill!
The Network Austin Mixer can be counted on to present programs led by the best of the best with the most knowledge & experience in our business and fields related to our industry. In keeping with that, at this month’s mixer our stage will be graced by these top local talent agents, and maybe more:
Michael Pruet of Actors Clearinghouse
Erin Franklin of Agence Talent
Lilly Bankston of Bankston Talent Agency
Jessica Hovind of Variance Talent
They’ll be introduced onstage at speakers showtime, initially providing a brief overview of their respective agencies and experience, after which the floor will open to Q&A. Non-represented talent are urged to bring headshots & résumés.
Instructions for Headshots & Résumés: Anyone not currently represented is encouraged to bring several sets (1 for each talent agency, plus extras just in case), with the headshot & résumé stapled back-to-back, for placement at a designated table upon arrival, preferably prior to the beginning of the program, so that each agent can have your submission package to review when they leave.
Stay tuned by keeping up with us on our website, mailing list, and social media.
We enjoyed an exceptionally entertaining #NAMixer on December 12, 2018 when we presented a line-up of 3-minute acts featuring some extraordinary local talent demonstrating their skills as actors, singers, and comedians. More than a few caught the attention of an attendant talent scout or two. We extend our deepest gratitude to all who took part in our 4th Annual Talent Showcase, as well as those who came for the fun & support.

Come on the 9th and bring a friend to network and enjoy the show. While there enjoy Opal Divine’s Happy Hour which lasts until 7, then $3 “Three for Texas” beers the rest of the evening. And don’t cook or go anywhere else for a meal or snacks because Opal’s offers a tasty and largely locally-sourced menu of goodies.
