We’ve long given up trying to figure out what the client’s expectations are until we do the actual VO session. We also try to warn VO folks before they come in to the studio that the project may be different than what we were initially told so don’t be thrown off. Nor should they “rehearse” scripts too much so you don’t get locked into a “mode” you’ll find hard to switch out of once you record.

The wrong agent can take your career in a direction you don’t want to go or can drive your career to a halt. Waiting for the right agent may take some patience, but in the long run, I think it’s better for one’s career.
There are a lot of factors that go into having the right agent too. It’s not just about the work opportunities an agent can send your way. It’s about the relationship you have with them and whether you have a partnership that will grow BOTH your businesses. Do your research and find out which agent is best for you, both at this point in your career and at the next level that you want to grow to. Getting an agent is just the beginning; there’s still a lot of work that YOU have to do.
While it’s not easy to get vo/acting work without an agent, it’s not impossible. (In fact, I have an on-camera actor friend who does very well in SF without an agent and is working on a consistent basis.) And while you’re hustling on your own behalf, you’re also building a reputation and networking with new clients. When the right agent does come along, you’ll take all of that work with you and be that much further along for it.

I’ve employed some of your tactics researching my [first] agency options, but as someone who’s newer to the biz, I wrestle with whether I should try and secure ANY agent or focus on landing the one my research tells me I actually want! I’d like the latter to work out but certainly wouldn’t complain if the former prevailed.
