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".

How are you all??
It's been a while.
We Aren't Dead!
What a shit show it's been. With the avoided IATSE strike, the delta variant and the harsh new protocols for filming, it's been a crazy time!
We thought 2020 was difficult to navigate, well 2021 has been a new kind of crazy!
We dive into the covid vaccination situation. The networks in the US are requiring an actor/crew member to be vaccinated.
Please know the rules in Canada are different. As of Oct 30th a new requirement was announced with an extension till Nov. 30th regarding vaccinations and travel within Canada.
Know your rights, and talk to your agent.
Be patient with your agent, be supportive, make sure to have your materials up to date and make your deadlines!
Try to give your agent a break on weekends, we need our rest!
Help us, help you during office hours unless it's an emergency.
We got you.
