As an actor seeking representation, it may be tempting to target the large, well-known agencies in the hope of being one of the lucky ones they decide to take on. Undoubtedly, there is a lot to be said for this in terms of their connections and status. However, could a boutique agency actually be a better fit?

Here at Freedom Talent Agency, we are proud to be a small, tight-knit team who offer a personal touch to all of our clients. Both Ollie and Rebecca are actors themselves and have a true understanding of the challenges faced by their clients. Freedom Talent Agency was born out of a passion for performing as well as the desire to bring a supportive, nurturing touch to the industry.

Why be represented by a boutique talent agency?

The personal touch

Unless you are a household name, it is unlikely that your career will be overseen by the director of a top-tier agency. Your point of contact is far more likely to be an assistant, and while this in itself may not be a bad thing, it is no substitute for being under the care of those who run the agency. At FTA, every client is personally managed by the Directors, Ollie and Rebecca, benefiting from their acting expertise and industry knowledge. This level of attention fosters a positive relationship between agent and actor.

Tailored strategy and development programme

With a small talent pool, it is possible for each client to have an individually tailored pathway designed to accelerate their career. We work with you to develop a career plan, advising how to achieve your goals. Whether that be through acting classes, portfolio changes, a targeted social media strategy, or updating your showreel/headshots, we are on hand to give invaluable industry insights.

Less internal competition

Unlike a large agency with hundreds of clients all being submitted for the same job, within a boutique agency, your chances of being selected for submissions are, of course, statistically higher. That, coupled with the fact that your agents know you on a personal level (and thus can submit you for the most suitable roles), means your chances of success are increased.

Being part of a community

Freedom Talent Agency prides itself on offering a nurturing and supportive community. We have a platform for all of our clients to advise, support, and celebrate our successes – big and small. We regularly hold social events for our talent to network and create long-lasting friendships.
