It is 10 Actors, meeting 10 different Agents, 9 minutes with each one across 90 minutes to get as much advice as possible!
Each agent will have your spotlight ready to go and will give you as much advice as possible in that allocated time slot as well as answer any questions you have.

Disclaimer: This event is not intended as a 'Pay to Play' and should not be treated as a representation meeting. Feedback provided by agents is intended to be constructive and honest. Any critiques are given with professionalism and kindness. Additionally, please refrain from signing up if you find it challenging to handle feedback. We encourage participants who can engage with critiques in a constructive manner.

Please note that sometimes agents may drop out last minute but we will do our best to replace them with other reputable agents.

Please note that refunds will not be issued in the event of dissatisfaction with provided feedback. We appreciate your understanding of this policy.

Lastly do not contact the agents beforehand to say you are attending etc as the agents have said they find this annoying. You should only contact them after the event if you wish to do so.
