How do I know if workshops are scams or not (since you have to pay to get in)?

[FilmGuyJohn]

@englishjumper123 Look up the casting director to see if he/she exist. There are some huge companies out there that get a good crowd. (Actor's Key, Reel Pros, The Actors' Network, etc..etc..)

@englishjumper123 See who is doing the workshop. If huge Casting Directors and Agents are doing it- then it's worth going. Scam or not, you get some face time in front of important people.

Hey John, I am a 21 yr old actress in chicago and I have been doing theater for 15 years. I am moving to LA in August and I was wondering what agency would be good to take me to the next level in my career which would be transitioning to film/television? I am mixed so I can play a variety of ethnicities and I guess my type would be oive complexion with long curly hair.

@nicaarielle Well it's not really what agent is right for you...It's more about you finding an agent to take a risk on you. When you first get into the business, you don't have the luxury of picking any agent you want. If you have an Agent in Chicago, ask them to 'refer you' to people out here.

Also, pick up the book, 'THE RIGHT AGENT' $10 at Samuel French Bookstores in Hollywood. They have a broken down list of what certain agents are looking for, for their agency. Good luck.

Any new advice? I need an agent to rep a pilot film that I shot for a reality TV show. I need an agent to rep my pilot to networks.

@SevenPlaygrounds The book is still around. It's under a different name (but looks exactly the same). It's called "THE RIGHT AGENT". It's $10. I saw it there just recently.
