While to everyone seriously involved in the performing arts, it may seem like a no-brainer when we suggest that auditioning talent always be polite and respectful to agents, whether or not you agree with the way they handle their business. The industry, coast to coast, isn’t that big, and most agents are well-connected and often touch base with one another.
Leaving a bad impression with one legitimate talent agent can destroy your reputation with others. And, as logic may tell you, if you make a good impression an agent, whether or not you win a role for a specific project, he/she may recommend you to colleagues — if not immediately, possibly one day in the future when a different project triggers a memory of you and right you may be for a part.
You may not realize it, but many talent agents are creative people as well. Also keep in mind, while they may seem hurried and preoccupied in an audition setting, they are used to the audition process and will remember more about you than you may think. And, last but not least, remember that being respectful and professional in all you do establishes you as someone anyone would want to work with.
