I mailed off some headshots last week in my pursuit for commercial representation. Having done a decent amount of commercial work before leaving Atlanta including one major national spot and several more targeted spots available nationwide, I'm hopeful that I will retain a quality agent soon. Starting tomorrow, I will be helping out at the management company I mentioned in the last post for two half days each week over the next several weeks. Additionally, I will be doing some work in a casting office next Friday, which could lead to a similar engagement there (though only once per week). Both opportunities afford me some experience with the side of the business many actors do not understand fully. I hope that the work gives me additional insight and turns out to be engaging.
Of course, immediately after I commit to those schedules, the temp agencies start calling. I took these positions on Wednesday and got two temp-job offers on Friday. You get nothing for weeks and then bam! Well, I turned them down despite the need for income. A commitment is a commitment, and I'm here to focus on MY business. Now part of that does involve staying alive financially, so I picked up another job with an event staffing company. I worked my first event Friday night, and although it's relatively thankless work, it felt good to be working.
