COMIC & BROADWAY AGENTS... ("Gotta Sing, Gotta Dance or Yuk-Yuk") (For all Tips... Go To Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Filmbay ... Click "LIKES" & "SHARE" -------------------------------------------- New York is actors heaven. NY, the Great White Way (from the many many lights that brightened the street in the 1880s) or Broadway today (aka: Theatre District) runs only 10 blocks, from 43rd to 53rd street with only 4 theatres, The Marquis (43rd), The Palace (47), The Winter Garden (50th) and & The Broadway (53rd) is where. Now let's cut-to actors, agents and New York. First, agents breakdown into basically (1) Talent Agents or (2) Literary Agents who represent clients or (3) Packaging Agents, these are the ones that filmmaker's desire, for don't truly represent clients; they represent Packages (aka: projects with Script, Director, Budget & Stars) and only charge 5% rather than the 10% for solely writers or actors. Now let's cut-to talking agents for actors in NY, Broadway, TV & Screen. Here's the bottom-line...if you are an actor and desire to live on the East Coast (aka: New York) and want to work..."YOU Better Be Able to Sing & Dance". Point. Period. End Sentence. If not, then move to LA. The majority of parts, auditions & roles that are being cast everyday in Manhattan are for Broadway plays/musicals. Yes, of course, New York has Madison Avenues, and Madison Avenue being another name for advertising has a lot of commercials being shot and also 1 or 2 daily soaps but the bottom-line is, "if you desire to be an actor and live in Manhattan, you better be able to (A) Sing, (B) Dance and (C), of course, Act. AGENCY FOR NY ACTORS A couple of Hot Tips ago I posted info on a medium sized, but extremely well-connected agency (aka: "Paradigm Agency") that has numerous Talent & Literary Agents now let me give you the name of an agency, with an office in Manhattan, that is very well connected and represents actors for Broadway...but you better be able to "sing-n-dance". AGENCY: GERSH AGENCY ADDRESS: 41 Madison Ave, 44/F, New York, NY PHONE: 212-997-1818 AGENTS: Talent 1) JESSICA AMATO 2) KYETAY BECKNER 3) RANDI GOLDSTEIN 4) JASON GUTMAN 5) JENNIFER KONAWAL 6) LINDSAY PORTER COMEDY is also a specialty of The Gersh Agency so if you got a "Shtick", got a "gimmick", got at least 20 minutes of standup material and are ready to audition, go on the road, perfect your 20-minutes in tacky clubs sleeping in Holiday Expresses, with cold breakfasts, until you're ready for your 5-minutes of Leno or Letterman or Kimmel, so that you can get 30-minutes on Comedy Channel in hopes of getting 90-minutes on HBO....then The Gersh Agency is very important.
