Inside The Agency
Michelle Gauvin
After 23 years experience as the owner/ talent agent for the company Performers Management, it was time to branch out.
The podcast came as an inspiration during the Covid lockdown.
How do we connect when we are all isolated and disconnected from the Industry?
It started with volunteering for webinars and zoom calls connecting with actors and finding out what questions were needing answers during this time.
I realized there was a need to connect, chat and give advice about the business as well as share my experiences.
Inside the Agency was born.
It's a place, a podcast, for actors to tune in to get real information about the industry.
Inside the Agency is where you can hear from experts about the blunt truth about the business, what to expect and some hilarious stories.
We will have guests that share their insight, tips and their experiences.
Get ready to get a sneak peak of "Inside the Agency".

Tip of the Day: Know Your Triggers
It's important for actors to try to heal any pain or blocks from your past.

Tip of the Day: Do You have Questions about your Audition or Self-tape?
Is it after hours or the weekend? Try to respect office hours. Check in the notes, has the question already been answered?
Ask questions when you receive the audition, not right before the deadline. Is it a weekend? Hold that thought or email if necessary.
Do you get bombarded by emails and texts on your time off? Imagine how little time your team gets to rest.
Be considerate after hours and be better with time management. It's a win win for everyone.
