In this 2 HOUR member-only mastermind, Guy reveals exactly what makes him want to sign an actor, reverse engineers 3 real WGM client signings, breaks down the right way to approach agents for representation - and members of Act On This jump on camera for some 1-2-1 coaching too!

- Why having no major TV credits doesn't have to stop a great agent from signing you.

- The questions YOU should be asking an agent before agreeing to representation.
- Why getting an audition is already a WIN - even when you don't book the job.
- How to work with your agent when auditions dry up - and determine whether the problem is your package, the market or something else.

- Why your agent could be doing far more work for you behind the scenes than you realise.
