Apart from the usual talent, skill and passion required to
jump start your career as an artist the importance also lies in your network.
The era of globalization post industrial revolution is already a cliché to make
you understand the importance of connecting with others. The right link at an
opportune moment may spark off what could be a glorious career path. Obviously,
to pass off a break at the acting auditions in NYC or LA as a matter of
fate, is not to believe in ourselves. The right link does help your chances but
who has to toil to get the right connection? It’s you.
These agencies are is one of the strongest links you can have
to the biggest talent agencies. They showcase various resources like tips and
tricks from the highest echelon of artists in the industry. Tools and guide
like how to choose an audition song
or virtual voice trainers etc. They provide a platform to the unknown artists
to showcase their talents and for the talent agencies to select the best from
the lot without going over the hassle to screen them. It is like branding
exercise for the budding talent.
If you have the talent and a profile on any such platform
that provides the access to the talent acquisition firms then your chances of
getting selected are much higher than the naïve strugglers who think building
network is some kind of corporate hoax. Human beings are social animals and the
society exists on getting in touch with each other. When international relations
are build on mutual partnerships so why can’t your career?
