Posts: 2 11/15/07 20:14:10	Tags : None I'm a SAG/AFTRA member, did a reality Pilot, doing an upcoming ABC game show in 3 weeks and have done a lot of student film/tv work in LA. But I still don't have an agent and/or manager!! * If there were no WGA strike, what would typically be the best month(es) to submit to Agents/Managers? January or May, due to pilot season begin/end. Now? * I have talked to a couple of managers recently and both gave me the response: "we're not taking on any new clients due to the WGA strike." Graciaso mes amigos

When that calms down, they might talk to you. Actually, the best time to talk to them is when they come looking for you. Tough situation to get yourself into, though.

If they have time for you right then, what good could they be, really? Of course, there's it'll be tough anytime. People expect it to be easiest after Easter. I will point out that you don't have anything to lose, really, so you can make the effort now. But between the strike and busy time coming up, just don't expect much.
