Question About Talent Agents?

OK So I live in NJ so I am trying to get an agent in NY. But I want to be on Disney Channel which is filmed in California. If I get signed with CESD or The Gersh Agency in NY would they be able to get me castings in California for Disney or do I need to get an agent in California? And also if I get an Interview with an agent in California for the interview would I have to fly to California? And also Miley Cyrus did she have an agent in California when she auditioned for Hannah Montana or in Tennessee. Cuz I know that she lived in Tennessee until she got the part. So please let me know cuz I love to act and I really wanna be in Camp Rock 2 cuz I know there is castings for it. Please answer all my questions! Thanks!
Question About Talent Agents?
Hey! I have a talent agent and so far it seems like you know a thing or two. If you sign with CESD yes they will be able to get you auditions and castings in other states because casting directors send casting notices out to agents around the country, but you would have to be willing to travel where ever to audition. Most major talent agencies are very busy and dont have time for interviews so normally they ask you ask you to send several head shots and body shots depending on the agency, you can visit any of their websites and normally under get discovered or contact they will have the requirements and instructions on what to do. however if you do get an interview traveling there is an option but its not your only one. Sometimes they will offer phone interviews but this varies by agent. As for Miley Cyrus I am sure she had an agent in California but she probably had one in Tennessee as well. They have not released the official casting for Camp Rock 2 yet but if I come across it I will let you know!





Good Luck!

Hey.





Firstly, good luck with getting accepted by an agency.





Secondly, if you get an agent in New York, then probably most of the castings and auditions that your agent will book for you are probably in New York or the area around. Because it is New York, you might even get an offer for theater cause New York is mostly for theater and tv series - not that much for films, though there are quite plenty of movies going on in New York but not as many as in California.





You agent will probably get you auditions for California films or series too because he/she know that it%26#039;s there that the big budget comes and most of the entertainment world rules. And also probably, yes, you will probably need to move to California for a while if you get accepted into a California movie. If it is a series then expect to move there for, um, a long time. I believe you are an underage so best of luck allowing your parents to let you move to California for life if you get accepted in a series.





Now, Disney Channel. Ok, Disney Channel is unpredictable. You see, if they really like you they will get you at once. If you walk into the audition room and the director likes you, you put yourself in A-List with the hope that you can act. However, this is the Disney Channel. They do NOT want to get people who have no experience in the entertainment industry but - as I said - they are unpredictable.





Your best shot would be getting your agent first of all cause he/she is your key to the audition room. No agent, no audition. Then, discuss with him/her that you want to get into Disney auditions, he/she will probably know a lot more than me or any other people around here about how stuff work in the entertainment industry. However, I wouldn%26#039;t expect getting into Disney without experience. Most people in Disney are people with a lot of experience or the perfect math for a specific character.





What would be best is to go auditioning for ANY role your agent will tell you. Even a role which does not say a single word in the whole movie/series/play etc... Do not expect lead roles from your first audition. Learn to live with rejection. NEVER take rejection personally cause after a couple of auditions you%26#039;ll say %26quot;I will never make it, I quite%26quot;. No, don%26#039;t do that. EVERYONE, literally EVERYONE went through rejection, even the stars of Disney. Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale or whatever her name is.





Best of luck with getting your name out there! It%26#039;s a tough industry but if you EVER say that you give up then just think of Sarah Jessica Parker who was almost ready to give up and she got the lead role in Sex and the city which was a hit for 6 years, got millions of dollars and then came up with a movie last week!





Best of luck!
