Second Annual Talent Showcase

2nd Talent Showcase

It’s time for The Network Austin Mixer’s 2nd Annual Talent Showcase! Yes, dear friends and fellow entertainers, starting at 6:30PM (earlier than usual) at Baby A’s on Wednesday, November 11, 2015, we will present an interesting cadre of characters with weird habits and colorful attitudes (often known as actors, singers, and artists) ready & willing to expose our audience to their creative energies and expert showmanship.

We have 25 acts booked! Yes, you read that right. Nowhere in town will you find 25 acts for FREE! Everything from monologues to stand-up; belly dancing to gospel singers; and various other sundry acts of bohemian passion. This will be an evening of hilarious fun and insanity, with talent agents in attendance scoping out the undiscovered geniuses before us. Of course, attendance is mandatory (wink, wink) and will (absolutely 100% guaranteed) add 4 years and 7 months to your life!

Needless to say, you will not want to miss this spectacle of human drama, intense and infectious emotions, song and laughter, so we suggest one simple way to make sure you are there to enjoy this once-a-year Talent Showcase: Come and join us on Wednesday, November 11th. Arrive early for a cold margarita, network and meet new friends with like minds, enjoy a fun-filled evening with other guests and enjoy 25 acts before they make super-stardom! And all for free and starting at 6:30PM – earlier than normal due to the number of acts! See you there.…

 

Last Month…

We extend our deepest thanks to Jason Teresi for giving us a very detailed and informative presentation about Breakdown Services & Actors Access at last month’s mixer! Not only did Jason guide us in navigating the website interface, he expounded on the to DOs & DON’Ts, offered professional opinions, and presented his keen insights in a knowledgeable, humorous, and passionate way. Jason then went on to address numerous questions from the audience.

And many thanks to Samantha Levine, Cam Ray, and Pato Elizondo for coming to tell us about this year’s Austin Film Festival and gifting attendees a special discount promo code. Hope many of you caught some films & fun at this annual Austin event!

Panel of Talent Agents

Talent Agent Panel

On Wednesday, February 11, 2015, the Network Austin Mixer will present the 2nd of 2 panels of talent agents — who are about the most important people in any actor’s life. As (almost) always, our mixer starts at 6 and the program begins at 6:45.
Our February 11th panel will feature:

☆ Jason Lee of Acclaim Talent

☆ Erin Franklin of Agence Talent

☆ Cynthia Robbins of BLVD Talent

☆ Heather Collier of Collier Talent

☆ Linda Alcazar of Condra Artista Talent

☆ Romie Szal of K Hall Talent

We may possibly have one more surprise talent agent, as well!

There’ll be a place set up in front of each speaker’s chair onstage for non-represented talent to drop off headshots & résumés, so you’re invited to bring 7 or so with you to leave with the talent agents.

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 expect you to join us on Wednesday, February 11, 2015, at Baby Acapulco’s, 5610 North IH-35, Austin TX 78751.

Arrive early for a “Happy Hour” cold margarita, network and meet new folks with like minds, enjoy a fun-filled evening with other guests, and get the latest about what talent agents are looking for in actors, what current breakdowns and projects are seeking talent, and much more!

Last Month…

We extend our deepest thanks to January’s Network Austin Mixer panel of talent agents which featured Liz Lyons Atherton, owner of TAG, Tory Christopher, owner of Tory Christopher Group, and Veronica Kelley-Albiez, owner of DVA Talent. We had a full house and the agents answered all the questions that attendees asked. Thank you, Liz, Tory, and Veronica!

We at the Network Austin Mixer wish to express our sincere gratitude for the many esteemed guest speakers who have so graciously offered their time and insights over the last 8 years, and to you who attend our monthly mixers, for making them the incredible successes they have become. We will continue to present insightful and up-to-date guest speakers. We are honored to have been an effective “meeting & networking” opportunity for so many in our community. Thanks for being a part of it!

Let friends interested in the media worlds know about our monthly mixers. We put them on to provide opportunities for you to network and get information about acting, films, television, and media.
