So, I have a commercial agent meeting tomorrow, and I was wondering if anyone had any tips for me? Just what it will be like, what to do.. not do, I know the idea is to just be yourself, but any other words of advice would be great. Thanks!!

I would definitely bring a couple of head shots and resumes with you. They will most likely talk/interview you and give you commercial copy to do. Be upbeat and yourself. Good luck. Who are you meeting with?

Thank you! Yah, I just have to keep in mind we are in a sense interviewing each other. So, that can only calm nerves. I usually am okay under pressure. If she doesn't want me, It's not the end of the world, nothing ever is.

Thank you! Do you think she will have me read copy? Is that standard?

This may be too late.

I came in for print and was briefly introduced to her at the time. I don't know if she would have you read copy if you're in specifically to see her, but at least you know it's a possibility.

this is probably too late too, but for commercial agencies they look for upbeat people, they look for training that has to do with commercials, or improv, cold reading, etc.
wow they with your personality. commercial actors have to exaggerate things to sell the product. sell yourself to them!

Thanks for all your advice. Today went well, it was a "tell me about yourself" type interview, asking about the school I studied at and some of the things on my resume. Basically she wanted to know if I got them on my own through actors access. I said yes. So, all and all, she is going to start sending me out for commercial and print. A great day Smiler Thanks again!
