Talent Scout

You've searched for a talent scout, you've come up dry. Why doesn't a talent scout come searching for you, you ask? Well, you have to be doing something for them to scout you. In order to be scouted you have to be involved in a production or play, doing standup or improvisational theatre. Standing in front of the mirror practicing funny faces before attending your umpteenth industry mixer cocktail party sponsored by liquor brand X is not going to make it happen for you.

The job of the talent scout is to get out there in the world and find fresh talent for his agency or casting company. They want people who are practicing their craft, taking the boos with the cheers, scuffing up their knees and getting their hands dirty in the industry. Getting involved in a theatre company can create the opportunity for you to be discovered in this manner, but so can many other things.

A talent scout could discover you while off-duty (although it is more rare), just happening to see you playing tennis or walking on the beach. Talent scouts also do not only work for the entertainment industry. There are talent scouts in sports as well as other occupations. The point is that if your goal is to be discovered by one, do something!
