Last nyte b4 I went on air, I wrote here that I was a bit put off by two so agents that have done the lack luster degree of attention on being the talent provider for the Knytes-of-Anarchy. Now that said, both have said we’ll come if you pay for the whole damn trip. Here is an interesting thing, long before even such greats as Carrie Underwood, became a mega star, American Idol/FoX never pay for the audition part. No body pays their ticket to where ever the audition is taking place, or motel, food bill. The same goes for when the bar chain Coyote Ugly is looking for new talent, you show up on YOUR own, you pay for your own stuff until your hired.
Now then, after your hired its different, then in a way your now part property of the production company. Think not? Look at the crap the network goes through if somebody does something not in character of the show. Damage control soldiers go out in droves.
You can be the best, most talented singer, model, actor, actress whatever if you can’t sell that talent or your agent, piss’s off a production company, big or small, you better have a good fast food service job in reserve. Cause your done. All you need to do is say you worked for such & such agent, or agency, and if that agent or agency, pissed off a production company, your resume goes into phile 13 and your not going to ever get a call back, infact might get blackballed.
While our grand state of Idaho, does proclaim by default the lowest wages in America, thanks to some serious head in the sand attitudes, still there are, albeit few, but medium sized video and media production companies here, one being Confederate Steele Media. That’s the parent of HazzardAyre , Dixie-Diesel, Highway Hooker(tow-truck) Radio, Dixie Diesel TV, HazzardAyre TV, and Farm Kountry TV.
So we put those philes, in the back cooker, go down to Salt Lake City, get the talent, book, pay shoot. Be done with it.
My Mom taught me not to put my eggs in one basket, I did, with Emma Leigh and Castro, I’m expanding searches for the kinds of talent such production projects as ours demands and requires.
Like I said, maybe find out who EasyRiders and Rat Rod Magazine books their talent through. Who cares if its from Hollywood.
