The Actor
SIZES
Please send us updated sizes every 3 months. What’s also good is if you visit us, ask us to take your sizes
LANGUAGES
Please be very clear as to how fluent you are in the languages you speak. If it says you speak French, it means you can audition for a French Film and do a lead role in French. If you did French at school, that’s a different story.
SKILLS
We also need clarity as to the skills you have provided us with. i.e.
Cyclist:
a) Professional – you ride 4 -5 times a week, enter every race and are training for the Tour de France
b) Hobby/Exercise – you ride maybe twice a week
c) You can ride a bicycle
d) You can ride with training wheels
Singing:
WE need level of singing ability: Could you be the lead in Cats? Or the lead singer of Iron Maiden? Do you have ongoing lessons or do you only sing in the shower?
Please please don’t tell us you can do something because you are planning on learning that skill.
CV’s
Please keep us updated with performances you do that we didn’t get for you. We would like to add that to your CV but we cannot possibly keep a record of the festival programmes you’ve done.
Also Awards that you have received that we may not have heard about. It is best to email us this information.
ID’s and Power of Attorney Documents
Please make sure that we have certified copies of your ID’s and copies of your passport. Also that you have signed Power of Attorney Forms and the forms stating that you are an Independent Contractor.
LEAVING TOWN
Please let us know when you leave town, even if it is just for 2 days. Murphy’s law is that something comes up for you and we assume you are around, and then we are left with egg on our faces when we have to phone a casting director back and say you are actually out of town.
PERSONAL DETAILS
Please inform Helen or Priscilla if you have a change of address or banking details.
