It's often the big focus of many presenters - getting themselves a TV presenter agent.  So do you need a presenter agent?  What makes a good agent?  And does a presenter agent get you work?  

Well the truth is you don't need a presenter agent to get work.  It's not like when you are an actor when you need a rubber stamp of approval from an agent in order to go for castings.  Lots of presenters on TV don't have agents, and they actually represent themselves.  

TV producers like ourselves, and TV commissioners love new talent.  And often new talent don't have agents as it's hard to get an agent unless you have got work already.  Agents tend to only take people on who they know they can make money out of, and often see new talent as 'hard work' as you are not an instant cash cow.  So our advise is to always try adn get your own work and be your own boss - it's good to be proactive and our tv presenter training courses tell you how to do this. 

If you do want to get a tv presenter agent make sure you get on with them.  It's got to be a good marriage where you trust each other and want to work together.  But above all be proactive yourself and never reply on an agent to get you work. 

If you believe The Mirror newspaper story yesterday we have found the new judge for Strictly Come Dancing. Yesteday The Mirror reported that Gary Edwards is to replace Len Goodman as the judge on Strictly.  Well our advise is never believe anything in the papers before it is formally announced!  But what's good here is that Gary came to us wanting to do just one thing - to be a judge on Strictly Come Dancing.  It's was a tough demand and one that we told him would not happen overnight!  But since working with us he's built up his brand, appeared as a guest on the show in America and has been making a noise in front of all the right people.  So whilst The Mirror might be jumping the gun it's nice to see that all of Gary's work and our advise is getting him nearer to where he wants to be!  If Len is leaving we wish him all the best, and if he is we wish Gary all the best too!  And to see Gary in action watch the amazing talent taster tape we did for him right here!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGPp04QkB1o&t=19s
