It’s a common misconception that if an actor has an agent, then they don’t need to be on Fishpond. They think their agent receives all the breakdowns that go through the pond. Well, think again!
Casters donβt share every role with the entire pond. They search and reach out toΒ specificΒ actors through their profiles. If youβre not on Fishpond, they wonβt find you and your agent will never see the brief.
ApproximatelyΒ 1/3Β of the roles on Fishpond are cast through these searches. Thatβs a lot of work that your agent wonβt ever see, and you will miss out. Fishpond helps your agent, as well as you.
Casters will often opt for a search as opposed to a posting if the role is part of aΒ high-profile,Β confidentialΒ project. And those are exactly the projects you want to be considered for.
Casters may also choose to search and reach out to actors if the role is veryΒ specific. So, you could be missing out on roles that are absolutely perfect for you.
On your profile, simply add your agentβs information, and any messages sent to you from casters will also reach them. So donβt worry β theyβll always be keptΒ in the loop.
Your agent works hard β but they canβt pitch you for roles they never see. Being on Fishpond means you are seen for more opportunities, and more of the roles youΒ reallyΒ want.
