The following is a list of agents I believe would be suitable and relevant to aid towards my professional development.

Why These Agencies?
- Previously represented graduated from the London College of Music – They would recommend them as an agency.
- There are not many actor’s on their books who are similar to me. I therefore believe I would bring something unique to their agencies.
- They represent clients within Film, TV, Stage, Radio & Commercial and are not just limited to Theatre. As I wish to explore different potential avenues upon graduation, they would therefore be suitable.
- Well represented and established agencies who have received positive reviews from their current clients.
Stevenson Withers
Studio 7c
Clapham North Arts Centre
26-32 Voltaire Road
London

Why This Agency?
- Having looked through their list of clientele, the majority of actors/actresses seem to be of the older generation. There is however a fewer younger actors on their books. For this reason, I maybe suitable if they are looking at building up their list of younger clients.
- As with the previous agencies, they represent clients for a wide range of roles within the entertainments industry. This is good as it is not limited.
- Suitable connections with TV through the BBC and ITV also appeal for possible TV acting work as well as film companies such as Working Title, Warner Bros etc.
