"My name is Katrina Cook and I am the owner of Katz Casting. I am here on behalf of Expert Village.com to show you some benefits of getting an agent. One thing is you can go out and get jobs on your own through self-submitting and finding the casting notices and searching the different websites. Another great thing and the ultimate deal that any actor wants is to get an agent. I am going to tell you a few benefits about it. From my point of view, it is much easier as far as receiving submissions because they send something similar to this with the actor’s name that is available for the shoot date underneath the characters along with the link to their headshot.
