As I try to educate the listeners to my Sunday afternoon show, this week we had the pleasure of having a talent agent on the show. Laura Alexander is a member of The Rock Talent Agency with a local office at 159 N. Sangamon in Chicago ( 312-741-3883) and a home office in Wisconsin. Laura answered questions about the business and advised our listeners how they might get into the biz. Yes, the world has changed and with so many Chicago tv shows and movies, as well as other media specialties, such as voice-overs, the demand is great and while we have a supply, there is always room for more.
Part of an agents job is to find the talent, and once they do, nurture it and help them reach their goals. If anyone feels that this is the road they desire to take, she is always there to aid them. the phone number at the Rock Agency is 312-741-3883. You can also make a tape , or do a sound-byte demo or scene or even a video and send it to her at mailto:laura@therockagency.com.
Who knows- maybe you will be discovered and be one of Chicago’s great talents.
