#TipTuesday is a series Max Agency — a successful model and talent management agency in Canada representing men, women and children — will be doing every week where we share helpful tips for the industry! This could be tips on auditions, bookings, and more!

This week’s tip is: Always let your booker know when you are going to be out of town/unavailable!

If you are going out of town or have an engagement and cannot go to auditions (i.e. exams, work, weddings etc.) you must let your Booker know ahead of time. If they are not made aware of these times, they will assume that you are ALWAYS AVAILABLE.

Clients and Casting Directors get very upset if you have been submitted for a job and cannot make the casting. They may become invested in you as the talent, and it can be extremely disappointing to later find out there is no chance of seeing or booking you.

Letting clients or casting directors down like this enough times can ruin relationships between them and the agency. Most agencies will not put up with this and may end up releasing you. This is why you must always let them know if you are unavailable.
