Thousands of potential actors, models, directors, producers, etc risk it all and relocate to Los Angeles (Hollywood) or New York every year but only a very small percentage of them actually “make it”. They usually give up after a couple years of tough work as a waiter or other service job while trying to make the necessary contacts and achieve a break through. Of course they hate to give up on their dream, but eventually reality sets in for them, they run out of money and need to return home. And why would they want to quit? Many of them have a valuable talent that’s marketable.

Unfortunately, what they didn’t have is the contacts necessary to give them a fair shot at breaking into the industry. Arguably, it might have been smarter for them to start networking with the people that could launch their career before relocating. While they’re out here in Hollywood working tough jobs to keep food on the table, I hope you take the smarter route and start building your network before taking that plunge. The all-important industry people I’m talking about, are of course, the talent agents. Without an agent, you’ll have a slim to none chance of “being discovered” or ever getting work.

This week Ashanti Middleton opened a website, The Talent Portal where young people can showcase their talent. Singers, actors, models, and sport stars are all welcome to join and create a profile for all to see.  Upload photos and videos to showoff their talent to perspective agents.
