I’m a dual-national actor based over in the UK. Do you work with international based talent? 27:55 - What are some unexpected green flags you look for in clients? 29:17 - Based on bookings last year, what are your predictions for buyers interest this year? Is the safe read dead? Zany reads in? 32:01 - I am beginning to seek representation. I have some gigs (4 gigs total) that have not been announced so I cannot add all of them to my resume. Do I still have a chance at finding representation? 39:00 - I was referred to you by my producer, as he thought it was a great fit for both of us. Do referrals make an impact on your decisions to respond to inquiries? 41:49 - 1st question: Do you have any tips for standing out in casting? Do headshots and a good demo change the game? Or can someone still be cast before having both? 2nd question: Have you ever represented someone with a visual disability? And are the opportunities the same? 44:08 - Question: As an actor, what are a couple best practices when working with an agency and what are a couple reasons why actors might lose their representation? 49:30 - I’m at work clocking my hours so cannot ask this myself: how much experience/booking does someone need to have before seeking representation or reaching out to be added to rosters? 58:02 - When you’re looking at potential new clients, is it better for them to be focused on one or two areas of VO (ie commercial, narration), or to have a wider range of interests?  ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ 🎙️ 𝗩𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀 🎙️ 🔍 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵?
