After 23 years experience as the owner/ talent agent for the company Performers Management, it was time to branch out.
The podcast came as an inspiration during the Covid lockdown.
How do we connect when we are all isolated and disconnected from the Industry?
It started with volunteering for webinars and zoom calls connecting with actors and finding out what questions were needing answers during this time.
I realized there was a need to connect, chat and give advice about the business as well as share my experiences.
Inside the Agency was born.
It's a place, a podcast, for actors to tune in to get real information about the industry.
Inside the Agency is where you can hear from experts about the blunt truth about the business, what to expect and some hilarious stories.
We will have guests that share their insight, tips and their experiences.
Get ready to get a sneak peak of "Inside the Agency".

We talk, we rant, we mic drop! Literally.
Why is everyone traveling? The rules are just lifting and travel is about to start in Canada.
Yes, the US is really opening up, and travel is happening. We have FOMO!
Let your agent know your away dates and try not to send last minute.
Hang in there, we know it's been a bit slower lately across North America. Hang tight. We should be in full swing by the middle of June.
Make your deadlines! Put your best work forward. We want you to have all possible opportunities and the best chance of booking. If you miss a deadline, casting may not watch your tape. They do a set deadline for a reason. Don't procrastinate or make excuses.
We are doing our job, do yours dammit! Don't miss any great opportunities.
Do you check your paystubs when you receive them from your agent?
Make sure you understand how you are paid, and what you were paid. Accountants are making a lot of errors these days.
Covid tests are no longer commissionable on SAG contracts. It is commissionable on Actra and UBCP agreements if it's part of your wardrobe or work day.
As of May 1st most Canadian covid tests are not commissionable, just for the test. The covid test rate has been reduced as well to $250.00. Keep that in mind. Its no longer a full principal day rate.
Are you on the same page as your agent? Make sure. We aren't mind readers! CONNECT.
Let's hope the Canadian quarantine ends soon in general or for the entertainment industry. We want to keep encouraging the US to come work in Canada.
READ YOUR NOTES
MAKE YOUR DEADLINES
Love your agent! We are working at warp speed with no down time.
Let's go for WIN WIN!
