#agentgoals

frequently asked questions

FIRST, BE ADVISED!

I use the words representation, reps, agents, and managers interchangeably because this system works to attract the right partner to your passion – no matter what type of representation you want (including but not limited to commercial agents, theatrical agents, voiceover agents, print agents, stand-up comedy agents, and hosting agents). 


WAIT, BRIAN! No referral, no reel, no target list? This is 100% the opposite of everything I’ve ever heard.

Yup! You’ll have to give up some long-held limiting beliefs to join #agentgoals. Cuz here’s the deal… you’re talented, you’re trained, you have all the credits you need, and this system is free from false busy-work to just make you feel like you’re doing something. You don’t need to change a thing about your circumstances, but you will need to be willing to see things in a new way. So if you’d prefer to stay where you are, please don’t join me for #agentgoals cuz it won’t work. Get behind it or get behind hundreds of other actors waiting in line for the reps you want. 


Where does this all happen?


All the recorded training videos and action guides live on the #agentgoals course site where you can login from anywhere you have an internet connection. Our 8 live, group coaching calls happen on Zoom and you can access the replay recordings inside the course platform.

Will this really work for me? I’m too young, too old, don’t have credits, etc., etc., etc.!

This system works. Period. This framework has worked for 724 actors. They are all of different body shapes, ages, ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientations, genders, abilities, religious denominations and nationalities. What I really want to say to you is this: stop wasting your time disqualifying yourself from having a successful acting career because of your circumstances (I'm not giving those thoughts any more airtime and I hope you won't either). 


What if I'm looking for reps in a different city/state/country? Can I get reps in a city where I don't live?

Sí. Oui. Ja. Yes!
This process worked in every single state (and country) where an actor used it. If you want a bicoastal, multi-state, or an international career you've just found the exact system that actors living in NYC used to get LA reps. And actors in Denmark used to get UK reps. (Of course they also scored reps on their home turf too!)

And if there isn't a pin where you want reps, that just means it hasn't been tried there yet... please be the first to put a pin on the map in Tasmania!


You talk about casting a wide net, will you give us the lists to pitch to agents and or managers? Where do we pull from?

I got you! As a part of your #agentgoals enrollment, you will have immediate access to our gigantic database of reps.

We have super up-to-date EXTENSIVE agent and manager databases for Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta/Southeast, Midwest, London, Pacific Northwest, Australia, France, Literary, Voiceover, Berlin, Vancouver and Toronto markets.

If you’re searching for reps where we don't already have a stellar database, we've got a simple process for you to put one together without breaking a sweat! 🤗


What if I already have reps? Or I'm just thinkin' about a change...

Terrific! During the course, I will share my 4-step system to evaluate your relationship with your current reps. You’ll have a plan to invigorate that relationship, plus if your rep suddenly decides to close up shop and become a dentist, you'll have everything you need to find a new partner. 


This is an investment. Is it really worth it?

I intentionally designed this program to stretch you in every way. This program is for actors who are willing to invest their heart, soul, actions, and money in smart ways to make their careers better. You have to have some serious skin in the game so you'll continue to show up when things get vulnerable. And I want to make this as easily accessible to you as possible... so I partnered with Affirm to offer monthly payment plans starting as low as $69.


What if I have a reel and other materials I totally love?

Great! We will use 'em. My system works with or without those materials. However, if you do have them, I will show you exactly when and where to use them in the follow-up process so that these reps can decide to call you in.


I’m a voiceover actor, host, stand-up comedian... will this work for me?

This system was designed for actors, but it can work for you too. Just be prepared for lots of actor talk and terminology on the inside (can’t say I didn’t warn you!).


When does it start? Is there a start date?

The entire training is available to you as soon as you register – plus you have lifetime access to all the modules. On top of the training, you can join me and your fellow actors for 8 group coaching calls. They happen every other week, so we’ll have 4 months to talk through any questions you have.


Is this just a bunch of recordings and I do this on my own? I'm worried about not getting it done!

#agentgoals is a fully immersive experience – you don’t just watch a bunch of videos alone with your laptop... I'm alongside you every step of the way. 

Beyond the core training modules, you get: 8 LIVE group coachings with me – plus support from my expert team and graduates to help guide you throughout the program.


How fast or slow can I do this?

#agentgoals is designed for you to go at your own pace.  There is no way to "fall behind" in this course. You are going to go through this program at your own pace (that’s why every single Q&A Call is recorded and uploaded to our special online platform). If you can’t make it to the calls, YOU WON'T MISS A THING.


Can I work with you privately? Can I join #agentgoals later?

A: Sure, but there's a significant difference in price. I offer VIP strategy days for people who want to work with me privately – it's a full day we spend together and the investment is an additional $2500. If you want that extra intimacy and hand-holding, of course I would love to work with you in that way! Just know that I will be walking you through THE EXACT SAME FRAMEWORK I've already laid out inside #agentgoals – plus, inside the program you'll get A TON OF TIME WITH ME: We meet every other week for a LIVE coaching call for the next 4 months! But if you know that a VIP Day is THE THING for you and you're down with the price, email hello@brianpatacca.com and we'll take care of you. And sure, I guess you could join #agentgoals later, but you need an agent now, so why would you wait?


What if I can't attend all the calls? Should I still join?

If you want to land an agent, you should join. If you can't make it to a live class, no sweat. I record all sessions and share the video, downloadable audio, and companion worksheets with you right away. And you’ll always have the opportunity to get your questions answered by me within the exclusive community group with an extra boost of support and accountability from the other amazing actors in the community.


How am I gonna break through the competition? There’s a fixed number of agents and so many actors.

If you think reps are scarce, then you’ll struggle and hit wall after wall. Actors are reaching out to managers and agents every day. 1000s of ‘em. #agentgoals is a reliable, proven framework that gets my clients open rates of 70% and up to 35% response rates. What does that mean? It means if you send 100 emails you could get 35 responses. How scarce does that sound? And it's got a 99.82% success rate. And has worked in every single city (in the US and beyond!) where an actor used it.

Your specialness isn’t why this won't work for you… it’s why this will work for you.


Brian, there’s no way you’ll be able to give me the personal attention I deserve.

You just might be sick of me by the end of #agentgoals! 8 two-hour Q&A sessions, my editing and final seal of approval on your email, and my ongoing support in our exclusive community group.


If you're thinking you'd rather private coach with me, just know that my calendar is tight and I may not have a spot for you – plus it's at least 4x the cost and will take you 4-5 sessions to implement THE EXACT SAME FRAMEWORK I've already laid out for you inside #agentgoals. I don't recommend it!


I’ve tried to reach out to agents before and it’s never worked for me.

Two options: you’re not ready for reps or you haven’t used a strategy that makes you stand out. Tough love here: if you are confident that you used a time-tested framework that presents your unique gifts as an actor, and puts you on the top of the pile, and reps still don’t seem to notice you... then you’re not ready for reps and you should give up and focus on just being in class for the next 6-9 months.


Or… you’re ready for reps; you’ve been using outdated strategies; and should finally be waking up to trying a new way. And yup, I’m totally should-ing on you right now cuz if you don’t step it up… nothing will change.


But I know I need new headshots, a new reel, referrals, fancy credits, etc. so I know this won’t work for me.

Have you been listening? This framework works WITHOUT all those old-school must-haves. But you DO have to be willing to reach out to reps in a whole new way. Are you willing to give up the old ways?


If you DO have new headshots, or an awesome reel, or referrals in your back pocket, don’t worry, we will use them! The mistake you make is that you lead with those tools and they reduce you to less than your full acting story. The #agentgoals framework positions these tools as part of an irresistible whole picture of you.


Maybe I should commit to really going for it on my own first before I get help?

I wish you tons of luck – and I don't say that glibly cuz I really want you to have great reps. But let’s get real, I am the Indiana Jones of finding reps. I explored ALLLLLL the ways and discovered the ark of the covenant with the #agentgoals framework. It took me over a year (and tons of experimentation) to develop this course – plus it’s based on the experience of helping 724 actors get reps.


Do you have that kind of time to waste on testing and experimenting on your own career? If so, PUHLEASE let me know cuz we should compare notes and teach a course together once you figure it out. But if you want a simple pathway that I've already worked out, #agentgoals is it.


Can you guarantee this will work for me like it has for everyone else?

Nope. I can't 100% promise you will sign with representation – that would just be scammy and gross️. But what I can promise is that you're going to master a radical new way to reach out to reps and present your unique gifts in a way that cannot be ignored.


I can also promise that 1000s actors all over the world are reaching out to reps every single day. With #agentgoals you’ll finally be confident that you’re using a strategy that sets you apart from other actors… get behind it or get behind the 999 actors submitting themselves on the same day.


But really, I don’t have the money.

I priced #agentgoals as low as I have because I want enrolling to be a no-brainer. If you’re ready to finally be in the pool of actors getting auditions instead of looking for reps, then it’s time to invest. And I don't want to make the program out of reach for you, which is why I partnered with Affirm to offer low monthly payment plans... Please take advantage of it.


This is the highest quality actor career coaching available at this price point.


I already have a solid social media following.

That’s great! Is your Inbox full of DMs from agents and managers? Nope! #Instagram and TikTok aren't where #ManagersAndAgents conduct serious #BizNiz. Get amazing reps or get likes, it’s up to you.


What if I wanna get reps in another country, but I don't have a Visa or Green Card yet?

I definitely advise you to start taking steps towards obtaining a Visa/Green Card for the country that you wish to work in.


However! I don't think you need to have this completely squared away before you invest in #agentgoals and here's why:

This curriculum is about WAY more than finding representation: I'll walk you through an intensive journey of artistic and self-development, help you create an irresistible Electronic Press Kit to pitch yourself, teach you effective writing skills so that your messaging stands out from the crowd, and walk you through how to show up authentically and powerfully inside of your meetings for representation.

Start this process now so that when the time comes, you are primed to show up as an aligned and powerful artist who is aware of exactly what they bring to the table...

And whether you've got the right to work or not, you'll use this training to build relationships on your home turf and be totally prepped when you've got that permit! I'm pretty darn certain the skills you'll learn in #agentgoals will also help you with your Visa/Green Card application process!

If you'd like a resource to help you with securing an artist green card or visa, please email hello@brianpatacca.com and we'll get it to you right away.

You deserve fabulous reps because you deserve to work as much as you want to. Period. Nuff said.
