Finding My Dream Job During A Worldwide Pandemic…read more I saw the most perfect job position posted on Indeed by 80Twenty that aligned with everything I wanted with my career. I applied immediately, and checked for the next few days, if my application had been viewed. Knowing how competitive Los Angeles is, not to mention how much more it is now during a pandemic, I searched for the job posting on LinkedIn, hoping I could and a direct message to the assigned recruiter. At the time the job wasn't posted and there were multiple recruiters that worked with 80Twenty. I went through each profile, seeing if maybe they were separated by industry but I couldn't really tell. So I finally sent a LinkedIn direct message to the CEO of 80Twenty, Annika Brytnse. I sat with anticipation, over-analyzing if I had overstepped, if she would even respond, etc. I've worked with some amazing recruiters before, but often it's difficult to get one to respond back due to the overwhelming response of candidates they usually get. To my surprise, she replied back quickly, providing me an email introduction to Larissa Gerlach, Head of Recruitment Services. My experience with Larissa was absolutely amazing. I was able to speak candidly with her, and she communicated with me at every step. She even took additional time out of her day, to let me practice a Go-To-Market presentation, I had created on my own, hoping it would help give me an edge. She provided feedback and encouragement, that gave me the confidence to present for the executive team. When I received the news I had gotten the job from the client, Larissa didn't just email me congratulations, she called me directly! She explained that our connection wouldn't just stop here. She would be there to assist, even after I started the role. I've never felt so supported by other recruiters before. She went above and beyond her job description. In closing, I would reccomend 80Twenty to both potential clients and applicants. Looking at posts on LinkedIn and my own experiences regarding experiences with recruiters aren't always as positive. Lack of follow-up and full knowledge of what the role entails is often frustrating on both the client and applicant side. Such positive experiences as I've had with 80Twenty should be applauded and shouted to the heavens! Thank you so much 80Twenty for helping me find my dream role, in the midst of a worldwide pandemic!

Not only are they professional and very hands-on with me as their talent, the owner is a working model/actor...that makes a huge difference to me because she knows exactly what is going on in the industry, understands the ups and downs and can directly relate to what I experience. Anytime I have questions or concerns, they don't hesitate to respond quickly and I love that they take the time to send group emails with all sorts of information, from workshops we can sign up for to discussion about important topics related to auditioning, keeping our profiles current, etc. Although I am a veteran, I wish I had an agent that took the time to break down the way things work when I first started so I know the roster of newbies at KIT are not only getting opportunities they otherwise wouldn't have access to, they're getting an agent who wants to educate them to ensure they succeed. I've never had an agent who worked so hard for me and who cares so much...with get togethers, holiday parties and other gatherings, KIT wants to be more than just an agent with a bunch of people on their roster. It really does feel like a family and I look forward to continuing to work with them for many years to come. Highly recommend!

Melissa, Amanda, Mariko, and whoever else I missed, are beyond helpful and professional. They know what they are doing, and they do it well. These last 2 months have been so busy, I have had at least 2 auditions a day, some of those callbacks. I booked 2 commercials within a month an a half, was pinned for another just last week, and I just keep getting busier! Getting called in by new casting directors, and am becoming a regular at other offices. The ladies have been extremely flexible with timeframe requests and other questions I ask, even having to book out last minute for Jury Duty. If you're a professional actor, who has put in hard work, and has common sense, Minc is more helpful, patient, and friendly than a lot of other agents I've encountered. I have been signed with 2 other agencies in Los Angeles during my 4 years here, those agencies maybe getting me in once a MONTH if any, with no explanation, or advice for me to help them do their job! I couldn't be more in love with my team here at Minc and am looking forward to many more years being on their roster!

I've been living & trying to act in LA for 7 years. I've spent countless time, energy & money…read moresubmitting to agencies & managers and, in turn, have had some very interesting, pointless & waste of my time meetings & phone calls. I've signed with agencies that promised me things that they never even came close to fulfilling. I've been given the run around by so many people in the industry who claimed they 'know' what they're talking about and promised to jump start my career within a year or less, promised to land me roles on 'insert current popular show here'. I've gone to casting workshops, I've taken 8 years of acting classes, I've gotten new headshots over & over & over & OVER again. Anyways, my point is to let YOU, whoever is reading this, know that I've experienced pretty much any kind of crappy situation this industry can throw at you when it comes to trying to secure decent representation. Janine is nothing like the above scenarios I mentioned. She doesn't promise anything but to work hard for you & believe in you & your career. She's actually unlike any manager I've ever met in this industry. She has morals. She doesn't believe in taking money from her clients unless it's a percentage off of a job that she actually helped you book. She is supportive & encouraging. She submits you constantly & spends countless hours on phone calls to CD's, pitching her clients. She takes any meetings she can & is constantly networking to try & meet more people who may possibly be able to help her clients get work. Not only is she extremely professional as a manager but she also takes a general interest in you & cares for you as a person. She has never treated me as a number or made me to feel 'beneath her' or 'a waste of her time' like so many in the industry do. Each of her clients are treated by her as an individual who matters. She sees your potential as a person, as well as an artist. Trust me, if you sign with Janine, you'll be signing with a manager who sticks by you through thick & thin. She's awesome!

Hello! I've had so many agents in Los Angeles and Pittmobile…read moreis the first agency that really was able to market me in the way I needed to be able to break into the most prestigious casting director offices. I used to be the one who could only get myself auditions until I landed a relationship with Pittmobile. I would highly recommend my agency for representation or review their talent pool. Pittmobile Talent Agency is very dedicated to their clients and has an exceptionally diverse roster both with actors and writers. They are of the utmost professionals when dealing with the entire casting process of booking their talent from auditions to negotiations to seeing the projects come alive after production. Their positive attitudes and community they've created for their talent really sets up everyone for success. Veterans or Newbies should strongly consider working with this business. I also appreciate how communicative and responsive they are whenever you have questions or feedback. Double thumbs up!!

I hope they could take this in consideration
