| 1:
Who do you represent, and how can I be considered for representation
by the Mary Collins Agency?
The Mary Collins Agency represents performers who are ESTABLISHED
professionals in the areas of Radio, Television, Film, and Commercial
Print.
2:
I’m an out of town voice actor and have an ISDN studio in
my home, can you represent me?
At this time, we only represent actors based in the DFW area, unless
they began with us and are currently living in another market.
3:
Are you licensed?
Yes, we are licensed by the state of Texas. Our license no. is TALAGY00000123.
4:
Do you only represent union members?
We are a SAG & AFTRA franchised agency. But as Texas is a Right-to-Work
state, and union membership is elective, we represent both members
and non-members alike. Visit the union web sites at www.sag.org
and www.aftra.org. |

5:
Is there a charge for representation?
No.
6:
Why don’t you have a rate card?
First of all, there are different sets of rates for each type of
performance, so it would be impossible to include, much less explain
them all. And, each job is unique, and is based on a certain set
of parameters such as the medium, usage, type, length of use, markets,
etc. If you would like a rate, please review and/or fill out our
Rate Inquiry Form.

7:
Why can’t I tell which talent is union or non?
Because in Texas, it is against the Right-to-Work laws to discriminate
based on union affiliation.
8:
How long does it take for my submission to be considered? Do you
contact me one way or another after I submit?
We receive numerous submissions a day so it does take a few weeks
for us to consider your submission. We strive to let you know one
way or another whether we are interested, by telephone if we are,
by postcard if we are not.
9:
Who does what at the agency? Although
we each have specific responsibilities, we work together as a team
to provide you the very best in customer service. For more information,
please visit our Staff area on the site.
10:
I submitted a photo and resume some time ago and was told to re-submit
at a later time. How long should I wait?
At least six months to a year, but only if your resume reflects
additional credits.
