Represented
I have a new commercial agent! I left the theater in June with the intention of booking commercials, TV shows and films. I've had a few successes in the past couple of months, and this week I feel like things have moved a big step forward. I had already done a mass mailing to casting directors with a cover letter and four brand new headshots in each envelope and was preparing to do the same for agencies when I got a call from my friend Dino, who is an assistant of this particular agent. He had recommended that she take me on as well to help out, and I jumped at the chance. Not only would it be an opportunity to learn about the business from a different perspective, but there was the possibility of making a little money at it. But when I met her, she immediately had me audition and ended up taking me on as a client. Now, I know having a great agent doesn't mean I get to stop working. Well, the whole point is for me to work more now, right? At least now I feel like I have more people on my side, and that's a very good thing. I don't know what I'm going to do with all those agency mailing labels I printed, though.

Congratu-*freaking*-lations!!
-Sorry about the tmesis, it just felt so appropriate. Hey, does this mean when telemarketers call, you can tell them to 'talk to your agent'?
Thank you! Interesting idea, but I don't think I would have an agent for long if I did that.
Cheers,

PS: At the risk of seeming ungracious, I don't think that can be considered tmsesis because it doesn't break a compound word into parts. It would be safer to call it an expletive infixation.
PPS: No one out-freaking-pedants me, mwah-ha-ha!
PPPS: Even though I did have to look up tmesis to find out what the hell it meant.
Very happy to hear that things are going your way, Keith!
