Oh ouch, Brice. Sorry to hear about your first agent experience. That would NOT have been a good time.
I'll definitely be careful about that. Thanks for relating your own experience.
As for where you are now, I'm glad to hear that things are moving! Is that agent local to you, incidentally? I think I would probably be looking for agents that were *not* local to me but covered a specific area of the States or Canada, for instance. If they sent me audition requests, I'd have no trouble either doing them from home, or going into the studio I have a relationship with pretty much around the corner from me.
How do you feel about seeking long distance work this way? I'm curious.
Thanks for taking the time to answer, Brice! It's much appreciated.
