BABY STEPS

Been a minute, but I'm still here. I was reading an online publication from SAG by Laurie Records about following casting directors on TWITTER(I'm on there by the way...FOLLOW ME!!!!) as a way to get your face in front of them more. So, I'm coachable...I start following some of the casting director in Los Angeles that I can find. The most active ones on Twitter that seem to even have a personality and something to say are LemonLime Agency(Robin and Chaim) two funny as hell people. I don't know them, but they are on their game!!! Killian McHugh is also on his game.
Well these two get together every month for a Q & A. It is amazing how many people say they want to get in the business or are in a slump, but won't sign up for a FREE Q & A!!!! Being out of the game for a minute, this stuff is like oxygen to me. I was soaking it up and was brought up to speed about this business. Man, I have to say.....this business has changed significantly over the years.
You know the internet has made it so that agents don't even have to be good at their jobs and promote their people anymore...it's kinda sad. That's the only down part...but my goodness...that is the best part!!! 
An agent that is great at creating relationships has the biggest and best agency. The internet is killing SALES(in the commercial/print business)!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Every other aspect is the same....you better know SOMEBODY!!!!!
