Actor-Preneur

The Association of Talent Agents (ATA) is a Los Angeles based nonprofit trade association comprised of over 100 talent agencies primarily located in Los Angeles and New York. ATA’s premiere membership includes agencies of all sizes representing artist clients in the motion picture industry, stage, television, radio, commercials and literary work. It is believed that ATA member agencies collectively represent ninety percent (90%) of the working artists. ATA member agencies collectively employ an estimated one thousand talent agents.

With ATA’s Actors’ Agent Search, you can find the agents for thousands of actors, plus links to resumes, photos and video — updated daily.

You can also use the Free Talent Agency Search form to find talent agents in New York and Los Angeles.

All ATA agency clients are listed for free.

Thanks to technology, actorpreneurs can now live in Münich, Sydney, Dallas or whereever and have a Los Angeles or NYC telephone number! The organization “skype.com” offers anyone a local number in most major cities. This way, as an actor, you can be an actor in London and have a Hollywood or Broadway number - which makes you a local actor. Just be prepared to always be available for auditions, which means catching a flight at the last minute for an audition in Los Angeles or on Broadway. Telling an agent, you can not make the audition, because you are in Perth, will not score you points.

Recently I purchased the Amazon “Kindle”. After traveling with the WSJ newspaper, two of three hard covered books and of course my iphone, blackberry and a few other unlocked GSM mobile phones….and that does not include at least one Mac Book Pro and now the Mac Book Air. I was relieved after waiting two months after ordering my “Kindle” on Amazons web site.

The electronic pad can hold 200 books! Newspapers, magazines, and blogs. All downloaded wirelessly via the A&T GSM network.

Now consider how cool to have all the film scripts you can be reading while you are determining your Film next project!
