All accepted new talent PLEASE make sure you have completed your Actors Access site, 800Casting profile (including all of your information), your NowCasting site and your Casting IT sites. I will send you the codes to link you to the STW ROSTER once you have created your site. Email me that you have completed it so I can send you the codes.
Attach your headshot and resume in an email to me labeled correctly: Update them and resend to STW every time you book something

Firstname.Lastname_resume_STW.pdf for resume (see below for proper format)
All contracts and forms must be on file before you can be submitted for any job through STW Talent. There are four papers that will need to be mailed to me SIGNED in hard copy form. Talent Agreement, Payment Authorization form,W-9 (1st page only), payment agreement form and then email me your contact info for our contact list.
Anyone seeking representation should go to the SEEKING REPRESENTATION PAGE.
Once you are on the sites and have your paperwork turned in, we will start submitting you for jobs. If you are NOT AVAILABLE for any period of time you need to notify the agency so that we do not submit you for that period of time. IF we submit and they request you and you do not submit or go in person for the audition, it is a big waste of everyone's time and looks bad on both of us.
You need to keep PROFESSIONAL HEADSHOTS and a PROFESSIONAL resume up to date at all times. Always keep a Headshot and Resume with you for last minute auditions.
If you are not working then you need to be involved in some way in the industry to stay fresh. Student Films, Independent Films. classes, workshops are all good ways to stay fresh in the business. This is your career and you need to be in charge of it. Be working everyday toward your career. I am here to help you but it is up to you to continue to grow and be up to date on everything going on in the business. Never site back and wait for a call from your agent. Don't be afraid to email and let us know that you are available and ready to work. Let us know what you are doing to grow as an actor and stay in touch.
We submit actors daily for projects but you have to be out there working to build a reputation and build your resume so that the Casting Director wants to see you. BE INVOLVED. The more we know that you are serious and available for work, the more we will submit you.
