How do you get an acting agent without a referral? If you’re an actor trying to get an agent but don’t have industry connections, referrals, or someone willing to introduce you, you can still build relationships with talent agents and managers yourself.

In this video, Hollywood Talent Manager Wendy Alane Wright explains how to get an acting agent without a referral by researching the right talent agencies, connecting professionally with agents and managers, and building genuine relationships BEFORE you submit for representation.

If you want to get an acting agent, don’t assume your first contact with an agent has to be a cold submission asking them to represent you. You can research talent agents and managers, learn about the people you want to approach, follow them on social media, engage authentically, identify genuine common interests, and gradually become familiar to them.

I explain how talent managers notice actors online, what can make a representative curious enough to look at an actor’s headshots, resume and acting clips, and how building a professional relationship can eventually create an opportunity to submit your acting materials.

I also share the story of an actor whose consistent interaction caught my attention and ultimately led me to put her directly in front of a casting director.

If you’re searching for how to get an acting agent, how to get an agent without a referral, how to find a talent agent, how to submit to acting agents, how to approach an acting agent, or how to get representation as an actor, this video will walk you through a relationship-first approach.
