where do you find a acting agent in bakersfield ca?

Answer 1

You don't. Living as close as you do to the mecca of talent agents, you make the drive. There are plenty in the San Fernando Valley, that's where you go if you're really concerned with who's closest to you.

If you want to find a legitimate agent to represent you for commercials, TV & film go to Sag.org. Use the dropdown menu on the right labeled 'resources' and choose 'agent information'. On the next screen, on the left choose 'Find a SAG franchised agent' and follow the directions.

Then you can send them your headshot, resume, and a cover letter stating that you are seeking representation and wait to see if they call you in for an interview. NEVER CALL, only mail.

Once you have an agent, they will get you the auditions, but until then you can check out actorsaccess.com. For theatre, you can go to backstage.com or http://www.actorsequity.org/castingcall/... If you find the audition on the Equity site, you still may be able to go, as long as their not taking appointments from equity actor's only :-) On backstage.com you have to pay to get all of the info, but the initial search is free and you may be able to see enough info to find out the rest on your own without paying.

good luck

Answer 2

If none are listed (Talent Agencies) in the yellow pages, you will have to go to another city. Since you do not know how to find an agent, it is quite probable that you are not ready to have an agent anyway. Agents do not just sign up everyone who comes to their office seeking representation. They are only interested in the most beautiful and the most gifted talent.
So until you become one of these, forget it. But if you have the potential to become one of these, you should immerse yourself in experience, in plays whereever and whenever possible, in acting classes and by reading plays, and books on acting. But you dont get talent from a book. You have to be born with it.
