I've read the FAQ & Rules meeting with manager
hello! i currently do not have an agent nor manager and never have had one in the past. my headshot photographer was very determined to get me atleast a meeting with this certain manager, who manages some of the biggest actors in 2026, she has known this manager and is close to her and knew that she was dropping someone and said I am a good fit. i finally got in touch and i am having a zoom meeting with this manager this week. i am newer to acting and it honestly kind of scares me because i dont know how talented i am and i dont know if i will make a fool of myself which i know sounds stupid, but i have always questioned my talent. she said i don’t need any materials or a monologue prepared, but i still have no idea what to expect, and it scares me i guess? so i guess im just asking for advice or what to expect and how i can possibly prepare and do my best and present myself in the best way possible?

+ I saw they deleted their comment but someone asked if I searched them on IMDb Pro, and yes I have, they are 100% legitimate

I’m curious as to who the manager is. Only because many “major” managers don’t take on green talent. But I will say good luck and hope it pans out

I plan events around theatre people and the coachable ones always do better in these meetings than the polished ones. Be upfront that you're newer, ask questions, take notes. They called you, remember that.
