There\u2019s a load of advice out there about\u00a0how to get an agent<\/a>, but very little about what to do once you have one. How do you\u00a0build an effective working relationship with your agent<\/a>? How often should you email? Should you let them know when you hear about work? And what if things aren\u2019t going well?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve had more than a few agents over the past 15 years. Some that worked for me and some that didn\u2019t, some I got on with and others who would barely answer an email. Generally speaking, there has been a direct correlation between the quality of the relationship and the quality of the results.<\/p>\n

For the past few years, I\u2019ve taken pride in saying that I count my agent as a friend, and from the looks on the faces of other actors every time they hear he\u2019s been over to dinner, I know that\u2019s not as common as it should be. As a consequence, I have a few things I recommend to help improve this most crucial of partnerships, whether you\u2019re starting afresh or working to rebuild where things have broken down\u2026<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Don\u2019t be a Stranger<\/h3>\n

Most agents, great ones included, will mostly only get in touch when they have something to talk to you about \u2013 an audition, a contract, or, on those very kind days, an offer. If you haven\u2019t heard from your agent for long enough that you\u2019re feeling forgotten about, drop them a brief email to say hello and ask if there is anything you can do to help them. Is there anyone you should be writing to? Perhaps there is a casting director they\u2019d love you to be seen by, but are having difficulty convincing? Or a production they know is coming up and for which you could lay some groundwork with an introductory letter to the director? Once a year or so, suggest a coffee or a drink to catch up. The better your agent knows you as a person, the better equipped they\u2019ll be to represent you.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Don\u2019t be a Stalker<\/h3>\n

Yes, stay in touch and remind them you exist if you feel like they may have forgotten, but don\u2019t be the client they get Caller ID to avoid talking to. There is a very simple way to know when you\u2019re taking up too much of their time: do the math. Ask yourself how many clients your agent has, and what would happen if they all called\/emailed as often as you do. Would that inhibit them from doing their job to everyone\u2019s satisfaction? If the answer is yes, push the keyboard away, put down the phone and go for a walk. Trust me. You need to go for a walk. Go for a walk.<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> Know What They Do<\/h3>\n

The more you understand what your agent actually does, the less likely you are to tread on their toes, insult or undermine them. In general terms, our agents are there to try to get us in the door to be seen by the right people, and to help us get the right type of work. That said, it\u2019s important to know specifically what your agent sees as being their responsibilities with regard to your career. Clarity about this at the beginning of the relationship will make things much easier for both of you going forward. If you\u2019re unsure, and you don\u2019t feel comfortable discussing it bluntly, try asking them what you need to be doing to assist them.<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> Know What You Do<\/h3>\n

While much of this is dependent on the gaps left once you know the limits of your agent\u2019s responsibilities, some things are universal. You are the actor. You can\u2019t complain about how hard an agent is or isn\u2019t working on your behalf if you aren\u2019t working hard on your end of the bargain. Imagine unsuccessfully submitting a client dozens of times, and when a meeting eventually does come in, you get feedback to say your client was late, ill-prepared or anything other than a joy to be around. Not good, eh? Plus, it\u2019s in your interests anyway: you\u2019re auditioning for the next audition\u2026<\/p>\n

5.<\/strong> Do More Yourself<\/h3>\n

Having established a division of labour where you\u2019re clear on what your agent does and of what is expected from you, get to it. The feeling of helplessness that often leads to you becoming an annoyance to your agent will be much reduced if you take control of whatever you can. It may be a clich\u00e9, but at least try to do one thing every day for your acting career, and be honest with yourself when you evaluate your efforts. If you feel like nothing\u2019s happening and have an urge to call your agent to check in, only allow yourself to do so if you\u2019ve been keeping to the daily routine. Start off gently: watch a movie, research a theatre, read a play…<\/p>\n

That\u2019s all for now. It should be enough to be getting on with. It\u2019s not rocket science, I know, but hopefully, it\u2019ll save you from making some of the same mistakes I have. Like that time I resolved to call my agent every day. Or that time I left an agent and just didn\u2019t bother to tell them. Or\u2026 you get the picture…<\/p>\n
