Should I leave my agent?
For context, I have been with my agent for almost three years now. They reached out while I was in drama school, we had a meeting while I was meeting with other agencies and I decided to go with them in the end because I felt like they had shared values and they specialise in diversity. They have quite a good reputation, but I don’t know much about them as their client list is private. The only time I’ve met other actors with my agency are through jobs, and I haven’t met anyone else with my particular agent in this agency. I don’t really have a strong relationship with my agent, we speak maybe once a year or if I get a particularly good audition, but overall I’ve only met them in person once and had a few calls. I mostly interact with their assistant. During the past few years, I have gotten some really good auditions through this agency for really big projects and been seen by big casting directors so I’ve overlooked the fact that I’m not particularly close with my agent. However, this year for whatever reason I feel like I haven’t gotten many auditions at all for things that aren’t commercials. I’m wondering if I’ve been forgotten about or if that’s just the state of the industry in general. But though I’ve gotten these good auditions, I haven’t actually booked any good projects with them, only commercials. I have a fear that because of this, either they will drop me or they have forgotten about me. So I’m wondering if it’s better to leave now and if it is smarter to leave while I still have an agent or if all agents talk and that puts me in a bad light. Any advice would be helpful.
