Hello,

So I had a meeting with an agent today and towards the end of our meeting, she asked me to drop off about 20 of my headshots off to her office sometime this week. What does that mean? Was she hinting to me that she was interested in signing me? Is she going to send out those headshots to casting agents and agencies or something?... Just trying to read into what she might be hinting at by asking me to do that...


Your opinion please

I met with her too--she's just being nice. She's a business women--if she wanted to sign you, she wouldn't be "hinting." And who uses hs for submissions in this day and age?

CSilvera, did she want to work with?

Did she want to work with you*?

Well 20 is a lot to ask for though. She could be like CSilvera said being nice, or she just want to see how you audition and if your able to book something before she seriously consider you a client. You never can tell with these agents now a days. Most give to much mixed signals. lol !! Just keep the hope up and keep us posted. Knock em' died.

Cslivera... how do you know who I am talking about?

I've been around for a while. . . .

I would prefer to hear from Seceret Agent Man... thanks...

That's a really odd thing to do. If she wanted to sign you, she would've just said so. Agents are rarely subtle.

Also, CSilver's comment is completely wrong about who uses hard copy pictures these days. While that may be true in the commercial world, a lot of theatrical casting directors still request hard copy submissions - sometimes in addition to an electronic submission. Also, for episodic callbacks, most casting directors want a hard copy headshot that they can hand the director. So while it's true that hard copies are being used less and less, they are still ESSSENTIAL in the world of film and television.

And as for the other post, no - the agent is not just being nice. That's absurd.

So why did the agent ask you for the pictures? The more important questions is - why didn't you ask her while you had the chance? Most actors always hesitate to ask questions but this is a stituation where you were well within your rights to ask her for an explanation. It's all in how you pose the question. So consider this experience a lesson learned.

So now what do you do? Does the agent have an assistant you can call for clarification? Or you could just ask her directly when you drop off the pictures.

I hope this helps.

Good luck and please let us all know what happens next!

Completely wrong? I asked a question, Secret Agent Man.
