Question
Pls don't mind my e-mail that's a nick-name my
parents gave to me
Back to my message I want to know is it safe
to enroll yourself in three acting Agency well
the first one we never really got a response
from it the second well there alot delayance
and well the third were planing on applying for
that
So what do u think I need a professional
opionion about this

Answer
You can only be represented by one talent agency normally, but you can sign up with more than one background performer agency.

Did you actually sign anything with the second agency?
To be safe, you could write to that one and state that you will not be represented by them from the date of that letter.

Apply to the third one and tell them about anything you signed with the second, and the later letter you've sent to be sure it had been cancelled. That will guard against any trouble blowing up in future.

No need to apologise for your email address! There are plenty more embarrassing than that!!

This is the place for Canadian answers! My company runs "The Advisors", a Toronto-based career-power network for performers, producers and entertainment artists of all sorts. I am a performer, and I have not had a joe-job in the last thirty-odd years, so I must be doing something right. I can talk about career moves, self-promotion, self-production, and the business sense that turns your art into a living.
