      Chapter 1

      Your Small Business As a Working Talent

      Down through the ages, every would-be talent has said to himself at the start (or possibly even somewhere in the middle of his career), I need an agent. What often followed was typically a series of humiliations that would have tried the patience of Job and would explain why so many talent pack it in after only a few months and often drift away from their dreams and goals.

      Securing proper representation is key to building your career and achieving your goals as a professional talent and all the more reason why I wrote, How To Get An Agent for Acting & Voice Over. And while it’s important to listen and heed the professional preferences your agent may require of you, it’s important to exercise your own common sense, good judgment, and courteous professional behavior. These skills will serve you far greater than anything else. Ultimately it is your career, therefore it’s imperative you own it and own up to it. You must also run it. Contrary to what you may have dreamed, imagined, assumed, or been told.

      Considering it’s likely that you’re only just starting out as a talent and may lack the benefits experience brings, or you’re starting over and at a loss as to what may be required of you in the industry today, we offer you the keys to running your career in the following pages. May you be wiser and better prepared from what you learn in this chapter, and may your career benefit greatly from applying these promotional processes.

      All of this takes dedication, and some of it may not be what you want to hear or what you might have expected, but if you apply yourself and dutifully follow what you find here, you will have far more control over your destiny than you ever may have imagined.

      First of all, to be clear, there are two separate and distinct forms of promotion:

      One to the various producers and ad agency creatives most likely to hire you as a
