Need a talent agency? Tired of braving the elements to get out there to the post office or pass by the various production companies in the area to distribute your resume and head shots? Why not consider using an Internet submission company to help you gain access to opportunities to act and perform? A talent agency can and will only do so much, and using the Internet and the power of instant communication of information is a great tool that you should learn how to use.
All of Canada has different opportunities to get into the entertainment field and acquire more acting work, and a talent agency may seem like the only way to get it. How can you access all of this information when you are in an isolated area or are located in one city that has limited resources for actors looking for work? When you use a talent agency exclusively, you may be, and probably are, limiting yourself to only the little bits that they toss you here and there to find out about auditions and casting opportunities.
A talent agency is limited to only using the connections they have for getting you work. They may only have a few resources for this kind of information, and they tend to lean towards favoring a few of their top people when they are doling out auditioning opportunities. If they have gotten paid before by using these people, they will continue to use them, and new clients have a bit of an uphill climb getting into this circle of the favored few. Keep your talent agency if you have one, but don't be afraid to branch out and use other resources at your disposal.
