3rd Annual Talent Showcase

Talent Showcase 2016

 

Yes, you talented people, the Network Austin Mixer’s Third Annual Talent Showcase will be held on Wednesday, November 9th at Baby A’s! And again we will feature singers, dancers, comedians and various other entertainers who will showcase their unique talents in 2-3 minute segments.

Our Talent Showcases have always drawn large audiences, and you certainly want to be among us for this fun-filled, inspiring, and hilarious evening of entertainment. So come laugh with us, lighten up and release all that pent-up frustration from whatever has caused it: politics, broken cars, tech glitches, monthly bills, time crunches, irritating telemarketers and/or life’s other numerous and unending surprises and curve balls! You’ll be glad you came. Be sure to bring some friends. They will thank you for inviting them!

 
Note #1: There will be numerous talent agents & casting directors in attendance watching in our audience.

Note #2: We will be starting the Talent Showcase earlier than usual for our guest speakers so as to accommodate all those who have signed up to perform.

Panel of Talent Agents

Talent Agent Panel 2

We promised to start 2016 with a BANG and we are! So on Wednesday, February 10th, we will feature the 2nd of our panels of talent agents as our guest speakers.

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 get the latest info about what’s happening in the biz. This is exactly what our attendees can expect from this month’s stellar panel:

☆   Jason Wasner, Acclaim Talent

☆   Erin Franklin, Agence Talent

☆   Cynthia Robbins, BLVD Talent

☆   Heather Collier, Collier Talent

☆   Veronica Kelley-Albiez, DVA Talent

☆   Romie Szal-Brown, K Hall Agency

The Network Austin Mixer will introduce these 6 of Austin’s top talent agents who will give a brief overview of his/her agency and experience. Then we’ll open the floor to Q&A.

Non-represented talent currently seeking representation is invited to bring 6 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, February 10, 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!

Last Month…
