"In Agents on Actors, author Hettie Lynne Hurtes gathers all that know-how into one book, profiling over sixty agents in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Seattle, Miami, and other cities where theater, film, television, and commercial work exists. Together, these agents provide comprehensive information on the behind-the-scenes workings and ins and outs of the business.

They detail just what they look for in actors seeking agency representation and share a wealth of career advice on, among other things, how to interview, how to pick the right agent, and what makes the most effective audition both for agents and casting directors.".

"Agents on Actors, also profiles, and offers specialized insights from agents who represent certain specific niches of the business - including ethnic, children, seniors, soap operas, and television commercials. Plus, a wide spectrum of agents is covered, from those at the big super-agencies, such as William Morris and ICM, to small independents.

A chapter on Internet casting resources rounds out the book, making it a truly up-to-the-minute and useful tool filled with valuable information for every actor."--BOOK JACKET.
