What will a theatrical agent be looking for?
Well, they are going to be first of all looking at your talent. Your talent level and your ability to book jobs and make them money. Because when you work is when they make their commissions. You always want to see an outstanding level of talent. That will always, always shine through. So if you are a great actor, and you can represent that to the talent agent when they are meeting you, then that is fantastic. If you are a great actor and you sing as well, then that is even better because then you've got this incredible gift of singing and acting and that makes you even more marketable. But I think the thing that they love the best is when you've got what they call the triple threat. That would mean that you are a great singer, you are a great dancer and you are a great actor. When you've got all of those things working for yourself, you've got your Liza Minnelli types out there, or pick a name. Someone who is really, really adept at all of the skills that an actor would need.
