As somebody who had a band that gained interest from talent agencies, agents are not who you need to impress!. And actually they came to us!. Then we had to record a one song demo (which cost $1200)!. After that they critiqued us and tested our song on the local market!. We ended up with a 2 year contract with one and three records (indie label)!.

How we got this opportunity was networking!. Networking is going out and meeting different people!. Post some vids of your stuff on sites like youtube, facebook, and myspace!. Hit up as many sites as you can!. Meet new people; never know who people may know!. And then hope that somebody will refer to a friend!. Most agency companies will not review your demo as they receive thousands of demos everyday!. The only way they will pay attention is if somebody refers you (such as a talent-seeking agency)!.

Remember, networking is the key!. And if you are really good then somebody will find you, in theory!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Go to college, get more training!.

Then you want to do mailings, perhaps you can do mailings before or during school!. Get a list of agents in the field that you want to pursue and send a headshot and resume to each of them!.

But going to college is the first and best thing you can do!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
