When to seek a Talent Agent
Actors are always asking when is the best time to seek new representation.
I certainly would not attempt to seek theatrical representation January through April (pilot season), UNLESS you had some sought of spike in your career, such as Grand Jury award for best performance at Sundance, though in that sought of situation agents will be seeking you out.
When is the best time then to seek representation? Any month excluding January through April and Thanksgiving to the end of the year.
For Commercial representation? anytime but stay away from Thanksgiving to the end of the year and 4 day weekends such as a July 4th, Memorial Day, Labor Day. There is a good chance that is when an agent may take off and your mailing will get stuck in the congestion.
