1. Get text alerts when your agent emails you.

Last week I got an email back from my agent saying, “Thanks, Speedracer!  Fastest confirmer in the West. I love it.”

I was able to respond so quickly because I get a text every time one of my agents emails me.  The quicker you can confirm an audition the better it is for you, your agent and the casting offices.

Here’s how:

 

In Gmail, go to “settings”, “filters”, then “create new filter”.

In the FROM section put @stewarttalent.com or whatever your agency’s email is. You don’t have to put the full address- just the end. This way ANYONE from that agency can email you from any email address and it’ll alert you.  Click “create filter with this search.”

Then choose “Forward to” and put your phone number in email version. I have Verizon, so mine is 5555555555@vtext.com (that’s obviously not my phone number.)

If you don’t have Gmail or Verizon, you’ll have to do some research (aka Google it) to find out how to do this for yourself.
