Scottish contacts! And Voice agent advice!

Post by whateverlife »

Hello lovely people- long time since i've posted on here.

I am finally going off to university- and i'm moving to Scotland! Woohoo!

I've been trying to look at agents in Scotland- I've found one that I like the look of- but i always think its best to find out as much as you can about agents that are around before starting to try and get representation. So anyone with experience in scotland or advice- please let me know.

Also- I was wondering if any voice artist people might be in the know for any ADR groups that get actors in for ADR work- I currently do this in London and the people I work with haven't really been helpful with giving me names for people in Scotland. Any voice work advice for scotland would be greatly appreciated!! Im about to record a voice real so I'm going to get started with a voice agent.

Correct me if i'm wrong- but i get the feeling its less important having a voice agent close to where you live- as apposed to actors agents where its much better to be close to them. So if anyone has further advice on good voice agents AND whats best to put on a voice real (so far im doing a bit of commercial- a bit of character for my american accent, a bit of story reading) that would be great!! :D

Im very glad to be back here. I've had to leave my agent due to not really being around much at the moment- traveling and stuff just before moving to Scotland- so I want to stay in the loop. :mrgreen: 8)

Can't help re. voice agents, but there was a thread about agents in Scotland recently ... might be worth a look: viewtopic.php?f=37&t=20495&p=222447&hil ... sh#p222447

To be honest, I don't think it matters where your agent is ... the important thing to any agent will be your ability to attend castings no matter where they are ... most likely not in Scotland for TV work.

Hope this helps and good luck with starting university! I went to uni in Edinburgh (admittedly many years ago now) but loved every minute!

Thank you very much!! Yes- I may have an issue being able to hop down to London- considering trains are usually around 50 quid- and that only if you book WAYYY in advance. close to 100 last minute! Eek!
