#7 From stuck to surprised, Shawn got 15 offers for representation
Shawn Jain was sick and tired of being nervous to answer the question: What do you do? As an actor struggling to find reps, he wasn’t sure how to respond.
After a lot of hard work on his part and his exploration of himself, he was not only able to confidently answer that question, he scored 17 meetings and 15 offers for representation.
This is part of a special How They Did It series of bonus episodes.
With this series, actors I’m talking to you: I believe that acting is your calling and your purpose on the planet. You use your voice, and your body, and all that you are, to tell stories that remind US what it is to be human. You have the power to change lives.
And, we all know that having great representation makes that impact all that much more possible.
But let’s not get it twisted – looking for an agent or a manager sucks. It’s not straightforward, there are tons of people telling you the best-slash-only ways to do it, and it can leave you in a constant state of anxiety thinking to yourself – is this ever going to happen for me?
And that's why in this series of tell-all interviews with my agent goals students – you’ll hear how they did it.
REMINDER: Each of these bonus episodes is very different, because each of these actors want different things from their careers: some want to be on Broadway, others have their sights set on tv and film, and still others are creators and want to land reps that are excited by that.
