New! Zoom: ACTING AS A BUSINESS: Finding The Perfect Talent Agent For You - 3 Week Online Class led by Tony Nation, Professional Actor and Partner, Actors Connection

Thursday, August 14, 2025, 7pm ET / 4pm PT

Whether you're brand new to the business, returning after a break, or already working professionally, finding the RIGHT talent agent can be one of the most important—and challenging—steps in your acting career.

At some point, nearly every actor dreams of working with a great agent. Why?

Because the right agent can open doors to better auditions, stronger opportunities, and greater career momentum.

But before that happens, you are your own agent—pitching yourself, submitting to projects, making connections, and managing your career.

So how do you take the leap from doing it all yourself to finding strong, trustworthy representation?

In this dynamic, interactive 3-week online class, professional actor and AC partner Tony Nation shares insider knowledge, practical tools, and personal insights to help you navigate the world of talent agents with clarity and confidence.

In this class, you'll learn:

• What Talent Agents actually do

• How to identify your brand

• What marketing materials you need

• Choosing the right headshot

• Building a compelling resume

• Writing effective cover letters

• Crafting demo reels and video clips

• Creating and using Casting Director lists

• How to professionally email industry contacts

• Which submission platforms work—and which don’t

• The different sizes and types of agencies

• How to recognize and avoid scams

• How to prepare for agent and manager interviews (both Commercial & Legit)

• And so much more, including bonus tips and career insight from someone who’s been there.

This class is interactive, informative, and fun—designed to help you take control of your career and find the representation that’s right for you.
