Congrats on landing two manager meetings. That's great. Every meeting is a little different, but here's generally what to expect.

They're going to ask you about you: what experience you have as an actor, and what you like to do outside of the business. They'll probably ask you where you're studying (acting). They may, or may not, ask you to do your monologue. They might give you copy to cold read. If you're a minor, they'll most likely want to speak with your parents as well.

You need to be confident in the room. Ask questions and be engaging. Let your personality shine. Most of all, be relaxed and have fun. This is as much a chance for you to interview your future reps as it is for them.

Good luck!

It could be a script or a monologue...or even commercial copy. Be prepared for anything!
