Hello eveyone,

I applied in February to a few agencies namely a & j management, abacus, lime casting and mark jermin but I only recieved a response from Lime saying they liked my CV but they only cast more local actors. Does this mean I havent been considered for representation for the others or do you think they are still reviewing? I was dissapointed as I have a fair amount of experience in short films, voice over and theatre. Are they any other good agencies that any one recommends I try out?
Thanks!

Unfortunately there is no way of knowing. Most agencies only tend to contact you if they are interested but it could also just be that they are not taking on at this time. My best advice would be to wait approx 6 months then submit another application to them all and in the mean time try any others. Roughly where are you based?

Have a look at this link to NAPM main site, http://www.notapushymum.com/subpage3.html it is a list of agencies which might help but I don't know what they're like :)

Hi
You could always phone them to ask if they received your application and to ask if they are currently recruiting.

I know people will say not to pester them, but I don't think a quick call would do any harm, and at least that way you would know what to do next!

We are in Bristol and the nearest agent is prob M Jermin, but they are now huge and run their own classes so I expect they are more likely to use their own students as they know them better, but I could be wrong - worth asking though, if you apply to them.

Good luck
