<p>Kevp - It is very bad advice to say she shouldn’t tell the agent she isn’t just taking a gap year. Reputation is all she has right now and by lying she is destroying that. Lying is never a good idea, even in the evasive manner that you suggest.</p>
<p>I did not want to discourage just wanted a dose of reality to counter the “ease” with which some think getting an Agent or Manager might be. Non-union auditions without an agent (student films, digital media, non-paying theatre) is the best to be hoped for and an occasional day or two or three hanging out at the Equity Building hoping to be seen. (Which she may be if she truly looks 18TPY.)</p>
