Talent Showcase Archive

 

Don’t miss Network Austin Mixer’s Talent Showcase on December 13th — which is sure to become the talk of the town when it comes to showcasing the best of the best local talent in our annual virtual variety show!

This year’s response to our annual Call for Submissions was overwhelmingly rich with talent and variety. So in an unprecedented move we’ve expanded the event to feature even more acts. Because of this we’ll be starting the program early. Doors will open at the usual 6:00PM, with announcements at 6:15 and then the Talent Showcase beginning by 6:30.

Photography & Videography:
Still photographs are allowed at our mixers; recording videos is not—except at our annual Talent Showcase! We hope that those in our audience will snap photos and shoot videos galore. However, the deal is that whatever you record you will immediately share with Network Austin Mixer so that we may feature it on our website and/or social media.

So, plan on coming to Sherlock’s on Wednesday, December 13th, and invite your friends. Look forward to entertainment by an amazing array of local talent providing perhaps the most spectacular Talent Showcase at Network Austin Mixer thus far, and benefit by opportunities to mix & mingle with others in our industry!

Talent Agents & Casting Directors:
Come be entertained on December 13th by prospective clients, especially since some performers are new in town and some are not yet represented.

Panel of Talent Agents #2

Talent Agent Panel, February 2017

As promised, we have started 2017 just as we start every year: with a BANG!  On Wednesday, January 11th we featured the first of two panels of talent agents. Our next panel takes the stage on Wednesday, February 8th, and will consist of the following agents representing their corresponding agencies:

☆ Jason Wasner, Managing Partner, Acclaim Talent

☆ Erin Franklin, Owner, Agence Talent

☆ Cynthia Robbins, Owner, BLVD Talent

☆ Linda Alcazar, Owner, Condra Artista

☆ Romie Szal, Owner, K Hall Agency

This is a must for everyone in the entertainment industry, and especially anyone serious about an acting career should make it a top priority to attend our mixer on Wednesday, February 8th.

The talent agents will be introduced onstage at 6:45PM and begin by providing a brief overview of their respective agencies & experience, after which the floor will open to an audience Q&A.

Non-represented talent currently seeking representation is encouraged to bring at least 5 sets of same-size headshots & résumés 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.

 

Last Month

We are extremely grateful to the panel of agents who so generously offered their time and insights to our packed house on Wednesday January 11th. We THANK all of you! January’s panel consisted of owners of the following agencies: The Atherton Group (TAG), Collier Talent, DVA Talent, Tory Christopher Group, Variant Talent

 

Texas Production Incentives:

As Texas Entertainment Industry (TEI) has been announcing and as Heather Page, Director of the Texas Film Commission, informed us during her great presentation on Wednesday, December 14th, funding for the Texas Moving Image Industry Incentive Program (TMIIIP) is currently in consideration by the Texas Legislature, so we must all contact our senators & representatives to make sure they realize the importance of this program and the need for additional funding. Also, contact your friends and family in other Texas cities and ask them to do the same. Funding for the TMIIIP depends to a large extent on feedback from Texans throughout the state. Do your part now to help ensure we keep the incentive program and make it better. Read more here, here, here, and here.Thanks!

 

Come on out and join us on Wednesday, February 8, 2017 at Mister Tramps. Arrive early for a cold margarita or a special cocktail made just for us. 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!
