Will being located regionally hold me back?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>\u201cGone are the days you have to live in London \u2013 as long as you are willing to travel,\u201d says Nicola. \u201cWe work very closely with each office,\u201d including their London branch, she says, but ultimately, they have their own jobs coming in based in the North.<\/p>\n<p>Nicola points to the increasing use of self-tapes and a willingness to travel as your best assets. She also says that there is a change in casting trends at the moment \u2013 often, casting directors want to cast the \u2018real thing\u2019, so if they have a character from a regional location, they will try to find someone actually from there. This means that you shouldn\u2019t try to change who you are. There\u2019s more likely to be parts further from who you are in theatre, but in television and film, it\u2019s much more likely that casting directors will go for someone closer to the character.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>How do you feel about actors approaching casting directors directly?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Nicola says she totally understands the need for this, and the importance of continually \u201cputting your name in the hat.\u201d After all, a casting director won\u2019t know when you\u2019re free so it is fine to remind them when you are.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Is it possible to approach an agent if you haven\u2019t had formal training?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>It\u2019s important to remember that every agent and casting director is different, and it\u2019s vital that you do your research in order to determine how they like to be approached. As for training, Nicola says, \u201cWhen I look at CVs, whether you\u2019ve done a lot of training or a lot of work doesn\u2019t matter. If you\u2019ve been to a good drama school, that\u2019s good. But there are different ways in.\u201d Therefore, training doesn\u2019t have to be the focus, but you should build up work to show your commitment and ability instead. Alongside working, Nicola suggests that you \u201ckeep doing classes, keep getting contacts, so casting directors know who you are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Make sure that when you have work or training to show, you outline things neatly and professionally on your CV and send a polite introductory email \u2013 never ring agencies, there simply isn\u2019t time to take calls! While an email may take time to respond to, be aware that it\u2019s a much better way to get in touch.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What makes for a\u00a0good showreel?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Firstly, Nicola says that if you don\u2019t have much work to show it\u2019s important to create something for yourself to get filmed \u2013 write your own script, just a few minutes, and film it. Make sure it\u2019s linked nice and clearly from your email, but don\u2019t attach huge files. Often breakdowns will say they don\u2019t want suggestions of anyone without a showreel, indicating just how important it is to have one. The quality of the tape is secondary, says Nicola. Don\u2019t include any montage or music overlay \u2013 have something clear, straightforward and which shows who you are and what you can do.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>How can I tell if an agency is right for me? How can I tell if an agency\/agent is reputable?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Nicola says this is very individual, but it\u2019s very important to do your research. Make sure you investigate an agency\u2019s website thoroughly, as well as their social media accounts. At the end of the day, you as an individual have to be able to work well with your agent, and this can be as much about personality as it can be about their quality or prestige as an agent. Investigate the quality of work they receive, and keep in mind the sort of work you want to be doing.<\/p>\n<p>When meeting with a performer for the first time, Nicola says she will \u201cgrill them and ask them to grill me!\u201d The expectation is that you know a bit about your casting type, you have questions ready to ask, as the \u2018interview\u2019 goes both ways. So, remember that the relationship between agent and performer is a two-way street!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image-replace hoverZoomLink\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/spotlightuk\/image\/fetch\/w_1536,c_limit\/https:\/\/spotlight-cmsmedia.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/media\/1614\/day-1-speaker-smiling.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/spotlightuk\/image\/fetch\/w_{width},c_limit\/https:\/\/spotlight-cmsmedia.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/media\/1614\/day-1-speaker-smiling.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><strong>How many people are you an agent for? Is there a limit?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Nicola says she manages around 100 performers between herself and her assistant, though she has 60 performers or so just herself. There\u2019s no real limit to how many performers an agent could represent, but it does depend on what the agent themselves can handle.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Do agents watch shows other than grad showcases?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Yes, says Nicola, and it\u2019s worth inviting agents to watch you perform, regardless of where or when it is. Try not to bombard an agent too much with invitations \u2013 a nice rule to follow might be to try again every 3 months or so.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Do you have certain times of year when you take on new performers? Is there a quota on how many actors of a certain type you take?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>No, says Nicola, there are no set times when new performers are accepted for representation. Of course, more performers tend to be taken on during showcases, but it is generally as and when. As for a limit on certain types of actors, this is not generally a consideration. \u201cIf we see something in a new person, we\u2019d take them on,\u201d she says. \u201cIf I had 5 people with the exact same hair colour, height, etc., we may not take more on, however, it doesn\u2019t happen often.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Are there any key things performers should make sure to do?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Nicola says one of the biggest things to actively do is to be informed about the industry. Know what\u2019s going on in theatres, know what shows are coming up. See performances, write to the directors \u2013 express your interest. It\u2019s also important to reflect on what you\u2019re good at \u2013 make sure you are putting the relevant skills on your Spotlight, as Nicola says, \u201cYour Spotlight is your window to the world.\u201d If there are skills you had as a child, make sure you brush up, \u201cAnything extra is always a bonus and will see you put forward for more things.\u201d Of course, you do actually have to be able to do what you say you can do, so keep skills sharp!<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, make sure you have a headshot that looks like you, keep your credits up to date, and have your showreel and\/or voicereel ready to go. Nicola advises to always keep working at your craft, \u201cIf you\u2019re not doing something all the time \u2013 a class, whatever, you\u2019re not a performer!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nicola\u2019s final advice is to remember that work creates work, and it\u2019s important to remain open minded about your career, as well as reassessing what you are doing thoughtfully.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Thank you again to Nicola Bolton for her advice and giving up her time to answer questions!
