ARCHIVE INTERVIEW 2
- Liz Fell (Agent)
*********************************************************
It is a risky business but a rewarding one just the same. One such person who is throwing herself into the murky waters of entertainment representation and management is Liz Fell.
I spoke to her recently about the ups and downs of working in a unpredictable arena:
******************************************************
A. WHAT COMES AS A SHOCK TO MOST ASPIRING PRESENTERS?
******************************************************
LIZ: When they sign with an agent they think that
everything will happen immediately. Overnight success takes years of work. There are more hours of sitting around and waiting than actually working. The waiting will often kill off people's energy and enthusiasm.
*****************************
B. WHAT SKILLS DO THEY NEED?
*****************************
LIZ: A good showreel is imperative. A good showreel that is well produced will go a long way in this business. In fact it will often outdo a good audition if you can prove that your on camera presence is strong.
*******************************
C. YOUR ADVICE TO PRESENTERS?
*******************************
You need to be persistent and be determined. You
also must be prepared to turn rejection into a
positive result. Always ask what you can do better
- ask why you didn't get a job or audition!
