Sound Designer /Editor Agents

Hi. I want to know if anyone here knows of any agents, reps, or publisists that rep sound designers, sound editors, or composers. I have had luck getting some pretty substantial work, but I know having someone actively seeking for you all the time can only help.

If anyone knows of, or has ever used or been recommended an agent or rep. Please let me know.

Thanks

P.S. My personal contact info is: ryan@mcbridesounddesign.com

Any rep that doesn't already have a sound designer / studio on their client list will pick you up.

Let's see if we can get Charles Maynes in here to give his opinion.
I didn't need to contact an agent, I just called Charles directly
when I hired him for the movie we are working on.

Remember agents get 10% at least of everything you do even if
you know the clients!!!

Personally, I think being closer to the source of the work would be better than getting an agent. Especially since most TV and film people want to have the the sound designers close at hand for fixes etc.
Being in Vermont isn't makign things easier.

I can't speak for film sound people, but in the ad world, reps are very valuable. We've gotten plenty of our jobs through our rep that we otherwise wouldn't of gotten.

Hi -

In my experience- Sound Designers are not big enough fish for Agents- I think Leslie Shatz has representation, but most of the guys out there either work through their facilities (i.e. Skywalker or Soundelux) or are just folks who make sure everyone has their number...(which is what I do). For my field recording, my email box is always full of surprise communications from half a world away...

I would love to have a representitive, and it would be worth the premium because it is a distraction to be dealing with new work inquires when deadlines are closing...


If anyone knows any good agents, pm me!
