Читать книгу Breaking into Acting For Dummies - Larry Garrison - Страница 19

Although you certainly can work as an actor for years without an agent by joining different online sites and submitting your resume, head shot, and stats, an agent can be more crucial in finding obscure roles that you may never hear about otherwise. We reference the different Internet sites in Chapter 7. An agent can also introduce you to casting directors who may be looking for someone just like you (if they only knew where to find you) and handle the business end of your acting, such as making sure that you get paid on time and making sure that you get paid as much as possible for your work.

Because an agent can help your acting career enormously, Chapter 8 explains how to find an agent who may have relationships that you can benefit you. The agent can also negotiate big contracts and be there for your protection.
