TV/Film/Commercial
- Experienced Actors/Voice Talent
Actors please submit your headshot, resume and demo reel/clips from on-camera work to michelle@marilynsagency.com or send by mail to the attention of Michelle Reed. If you do not have a demo reel or available clips, you must submit a test read of a commercial and monologue. Voice Over talent should submit a demo CD and resume.
- Seeking Representation with little or no experience for TV/Film/Commercial
If you are interested in acting or voice over work and have little or no experience, it is strongly suggested you receive formal training before attempting to submit to the agency and invest in headshots. The TV/Film industry is highly competitive and unfortunately without training and some experience it is difficult to secure representation. However, there are some with a raw talent, natural ability and/or a distinct look that gives them an edge over their lack of experience. If you are wishing to submit to the agency and do not have an established headshot, resume and demo reel; you are required to submit a digital file by email or DVD by mail of a test read. This test read should be of a commercial AND monologue. PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE AGENCY WITH QUESTIONS REGARDING THE TEST READ.
- Inquires for Receipt of Submission/Response
We regret that we are unable to acknowledge receipt of submissions and provide responses within the TV/Film department due to the high number of submissions received. Please do not call the agency for such information. The decision not to meet with you is determined solely by current TV/Film market needs accompanied by your experience and ability. If interested, the TV/Film agent will contact you within 2 weeks.
