Hello, Yelpers*. My…read morename is Alfonso Faustino, and I am a SAG-AFTRA actor. Recently, I got picked up by RSA Entertainment and Talent Management, and it was one of the best things that happened to me, as an actor, in 2018. Here are some of the areas that RSA Entertainment and Talent Managment excel in: - Auditions: they work effectively to get me auditions. Brenda and Gina have excellent long-standing reputations and connections in the entertainment industry -- both film and television mediums. Each time I go to an audition, the casting director or producer mention they know Gina and Brenda very well and always have positive things to say about them. - Pitch Package: they are experienced managers; hence, they immediately worked on my primary casting circle and created pitch package that hones in my primary casting to my agent (theatrical and commercial), casting directors, and producers; - They work well with my commercial and theatrical agent (Park Artist Group) in making certain that my casting sends out a clear and concise message about my casting; - They return emails and calls in less than 24 hours -- frequently, Brenda or Gina will return my emails or calls within minutes, and they always have an answer for me in their first response; - They are Subject Matter Experts in the entertainment market -- they have years and years of experience in the entertainment industry, and their information is current and also cutting edge. They can anticipate and forecast changes in the industry and apply those changes to my casting; - They are a one-stop-shop: In addition to managing me as an actor, they have reputable and proven team members that manage social media marketing, traditional marketing, and public relations. If I go to a red-carpet event, they have a person that will manage me on the carpet or any media-related event I need to attend. - They are honest and ethical: Brenda and Gina don't tell me the stuff I wanna hear -- rather, they tell me the stuff I need to know. If I see my casting is one way, they will evaluate me, and support my direction if it is correct; or, they will tell me, "no way -- your casting doesn't support that direction at this time." - Workshops: Brenda and Gina will host workshops at their office designed to help me excel in the entertainment industry. - Good People: Brenda, Gina, and the rest of the team are good and genuine people -- they want to help their talent succeed -- they really want the best for their talent and best for their company. These are just several items that stand out in my recent and new experiences with RSA Entertainment and Talent Management. If you're in the market for new management, give RSA Entertainment and Talent Management a ring and schedule a introduction meeting.

I FREAKIN LOVE THIS AGENCY. I came to this agency with no real credits and can confidently say I've…read morebeen in dozens of commercials and print ads. I've even been on billboards. My agent Sueanne is the best. Literally. She reps me both commercially and as of this year theatrically. There is rarely a week that goes by without me going out on auditions. She keeps me submitted and pitched. Not only that but Sueanne has helped me embrace my uniqueness and has taught me how to use these things as an advantage to become more competitive. She takes the time to critique and push every client on her roster in ways that will help them become more professional and stand out from the millions of other actors.

I'm really lucky to have Sueanne not only representing me, but also in my corner. She's always…read moreputting me out there and giving me great opportunities. She's more than an agent and works so hard at building each person based on who they are.

If that's your thing, go for it, but get ready to read some cringe-worthy scripts in broken English, and they'll drop you if you dare to decline an audition that isn't a good fit for you.

I applied for a job through la castings unfortunately, BTS was the third party. I had a question…read moreabout payroll so I TRIED to contact BTS. while going through their website, I realized they DO NOT have a working phone number only a recording instructing you on how to join the company. I reached out via email and was finally contacted 1 hour prior to me having to be on set with a gibberish answer that I'm sure she (Debbie) did not read prior to hitting the send button. as I'm writing this I am still unclear about payroll so I am choosing not to film that particular project since payroll is through BTS. from experience, if you CANNOT contact a company then there is a chance that you will NEVER be paid for your services.

In the early.'80's, my 11 year old son told me he "Really wanted to be in commercials." OK. I was…read moreadvised, by a friend who's son had done a few, to have some "headshots" taken, put together a portfolio of his experiences in entertainment, and send a package to as many agents as possible. One of my daughter's friends was an amateur photographer. She took several shots of him. We selected the "best" one, put a package together, and sent one to approx 20 agency's. About 1 month later, I got a call from CED, (the name of the agency at that time). The agency wanted an in-person interview with him. We scheduled a day and time. After speaking with him, alone, in a separate room, POW!!! He was signed and began almost ten years appearing in local, state, and even international commercials!! Bob Preston, his agent, stayed in close touch and made sure that he worked every appropriate opportunity. He made much more money than we had ever expected, and finally, began to be recognized in public. One of his last, and most successful roles was as "Big Brother," for the nonprofit, Partnership For A Drug Free America. Check it out on "You Tube" or "Reverb Nation." Yes... it's title is, "Big Brother." We were a low-income, single parent family of 5, (3 girls &.1 boy), from the Projects of East LA. This Agency provided the opportunity to discover and participate in several areas which we may have never been aware. My son, Christopher Lopez, went on to create, own, and promote his own independent record label, did health work in a village in Guinea, West Africa for almost 3 years, is a certified chef, worked with Eric Greenspan at The Foundry on Melrose and The Roof on Wilshire. He continues to write music and lyrics and still has an incredibly unique look and personality. Perfect for today's savvy, edgy, aware, diverse audiences. Maybe again...someday. Thank you so much CED/CESD..., we will always be grateful.
