Talent Agent Panel
As promised, we’re starting off 2019 with our 2nd panel of talent agents on Wednesday, February 13th @ Opal Divine’s Austin Grill. 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 new 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 at this month’s #NAMixer. 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 at least these 4 of our town’s top talent agents:
☆ Claudia Ramon, Managing Agent, Condra Artista
☆ Jason Wasner, Managing Partner, Acclaim Talent
☆ Romie Szal, Owner, K Hall Agency
☆ Tory Christopher, Owner, Tory Christopher Group
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.
Happy Valentine’s Day

We were honored to have our 1st panel of 4 talent agents on January 9, 2019. And were they ever informed, well-prepared and helpful, addressing every question attendees asked. So a million thanks go to these esteemed representatives:
Michael Pruet of Actors Clearinghouse, Erin Franklin of Agence Talent, Lilly Bankston of Bankston Talent Agency, Jessica Hovind of Variant Talent!
See photos here, and more mixer photos here.
Come on the 13th 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.
