DISCLAIMER:
This is not a job interview or audition. The presence of a Talent Agent is neither a guarantee nor a promise of employment, representation, auditions, or referrals for obtaining employment or talent agents or talent managers. The intent of the class is solely educational. Attending a workshop, class, lecture, or one-on-one private session (collectively “classes”) is not a way to obtain employment or representation as an actor. Such contact as you may have with a Talent Agent during classes rarely results in any further contact with that Talent Agent or any company affiliated with that Talent Agent.
