Dropping Agent After 3 Months?
I signed across the board with an agency that I knew wasn't the best. I had a few friends with them, and some said they go out every now and then for network roles, and others have said they were with them for over a year without a single audition. I didn't get a single email back from other agencies I submitted too, despite consistently working and booking principal roles on my own, so I figured I'd give them a shot, in hopes of them getting me higher end auditions.
I originally wanted to just sign theatrically with them, but they suggested I also sign commercially with them, cause I'm SAG and its slow right now, and they want to get me as many auditions as possible.
They were very sweet during our meeting, no red flags at all, and we had the same mindset about the industry and being a proactive actor.
But it's been 3 months, and I haven't gotten a single audition from them. I haven't even heard from them. I'm self submitting and getting SAG auditions and booking them, but still I dont get anything from them. I know 3 months is probably too soon to drop them, but my friends who are my same type and with other agencies are getting called in a good amount right now. I know most TV shows are on hiatus now, so I'm stuck in what to do.
Advice?
Also a little background: I'm a very pro active actor. I dont just sit and wait around for an agency to bring auditions. I self submit, I'm in acting class every week, my headshots are updated and strong, I just wrapped 3 lead roles on thesis films for some big film schools out here in LA, and I'm in stunt classes every month. I was thinking of asking for a submission report from them, so I could target some CD's over the summer in workshops, but also use that as an excuse to see if I'm actually getting submitted to stuff.
