A particularly well-articulated point: "An agent can't change who you are. If you can't talk/charm/impress your way into a casting room, then how do you think an agent is going to? They can't and certainly won't try to change the facts. They can't fabricate credits, relationships, skills they don't already know about... It's up to an actor to create some kind of story for an agent to tell."
good point.
Hits the nail right on the head
The plain truth. So very few can handle it.
Very logical !
