4 reasons why actors are being offered an agent’s contract

#1 Reason Why Actors Aren’t Offered a Contract

Most, but not all agents want their actors to already have the materials needed for the agent to submit and promote the actor. That means having an effective headshot and a resume in the proper format that casting directors and other industry professionals expect.

Not all agents are willing to take the time and energy to help explain to the talent what is needed. They might be way too busy trying to get their other actors seen by casting directors.

#2 Reason Why Actors Aren’t Offered a Contract

Some actors want to have an agent represent them, but maybe they need more experience or training. The actor might need stronger auditioning and acting skills before an agent is willing to have them represent the agency on auditions. Some agents are willing to help their actors be better prepared for auditions and have better acting skills, but many want actors who are ready to work.

#3 Reason Why Actors Aren’t Offered a Contract

You might have great materials and are a very skilled actor, but it is possible that the agent already has too many people in your category.
They want to be able to focus on the actors who are already signed with the agency. So, the agent might not want to take you on for that reason.

#4 Reason Why Actors Aren’t Offered a Contract

You could have a great look, strong materials and are very talented and still get turned down and not have an agent offer you a contract. This could be the case if you don’t have the look that the agency needs. Maybe you have a “regular looking person’s” look and the modeling agency only signs and works with actors and models who have very high end looks. That would be another reason you wouldn’t be offered a contract.
