MAX Agency’s Audition Tips, Tools and Requirements

MAX Agency Talent,

We regret to inform you that over the past couple of weeks we’ve received a great amount of feedback from our clients and some of it was not positive.

Our main goal is to help you land as many gigs as possible, offering important tips and tools as indicated on the MAX Agency Policies & Procedures handout and the Audition Info form. It is absolutely imperative that these instructions be followed in order to gain success within the talent industry. Furthermore, when auditioning you not only represent yourself, you also represent MAX Agency and poor representation of both is highly unacceptable.

Complaints received by our clients are as follows; poor choice of clothing, gum chewing,  leaning on desk, arriving late and showing up unprepared.

The following tips will help you appear more professional when in a professional setting and increase the possibility of booking auditions.

Clothing attire:

  • Female talent are expected to wear a black, form-fitting black dress with heels or knee-high boots. Hair should always be worn down. NO color nail polish and NO jeans or accessories.
  • Male talent are expected to wear a black button-down shirt with slacks. Clothing must be neat. NO wrinkles and NO jeans.

Key pointers:

  • Always arrive prepared. You MUST carry your portfolio book, comp card and resume with you at all times when going on an audition.
  • Always arrive 5-10 minutes early.
  • NEVER lean over the clients desk. Sit-up straight.
  • Always be alert, professional and pleasant.
  • NO gum chewing!
  • NEVER discuss payment with the client. It will be handled by MAX Agency.

MAX Agency Talent Books Commercial with Clothing Retailer Mark’s

Great news! MAX Agencys resident cutie, Kimoni D has booked a commercial with clothing retailer, Marks!

Marks is a Canadian clothing company thats been around since the late seventies. It all started in Calgary, Alberta when a former retail executive with the Hudsons Bay Company named Mark Blumes opened the first store. Originally called Marks Mens Work Warehouse, this retail chain has been through several name changes. For a period of time it was called Work Warehouse, but was later rebranded as Marks Work Warehouse when they began selling clothing for women as well (sometimes simply branded as Marks).

Marks initially sold work clothes for labor-oriented jobs but later expanded its selection to business casual clothing and sports attire for both women and men. Marks sells a series of exclusive brands such as WorkPro, Denver Hayes, WindRiver, BluePine and Dakota. They also sell Levis, Lees, Point Zero, Dickies and more.

Kimoni D

We are so proud of you, Kimoni D! We cant wait to see the commercial!
