Intern - Talent Agency

This is a Full Time Unpaid Internship

Agency Internship (Summer or Ongoing)

Ideal Talent Agency, a full service boutique agency, is looking to bring on both immediate start and summer interns. Total of 3 intern positions available. (Any previous candidates, please reapply as we were not able to get through all resumes first go around)

Our agency covers commercials, TV and film talent, writers, and directors.

Internship Assignments include:

Commercial department intern: Duties include answering phones, interacting with clients, filing, invoicing, memorizing our clientele, help with breakdowns, audition notices and bookings. You will be given the opportunity to learn everything about the main commercial websites LaCasting, Casting Frontier, and Breakdown Express. You will also learn how to pitch clients, submit for breakdowns, and discover new talent.

Theatrical Department intern: Duties include answering phones, interacting with clients, filing, invoicing, memorizing our clientele, and helping with breakdowns, audition notices and bookings. You will also be given a broad range of client specific work which can range from PR, to marketing, to updating materials, to identifying additional opportunities.

Literary Department Intern: Duties include script coverage, preparing submissions, and special projects including devising go out lists, marketing, handling side projects and some basics of executive producing.

Possible Music Department / Booking Department intern: This is a nascent area of the company.

As always, there is some filing and administrative work asked of our interns, but this is pretty minimal. Not more than 5% of the job.

Intern needs to be friendly, energetic, personable, knowledgeable with a Mac and interested in learning all about how a talent agency works. Must type 50 words a minute and heavy preference given to those with some office experience.

As a smaller agency, we give our interns more hands on work compared to other internships.

Minimum of 3 days a week, though 5 days a week is given strong preference. Business hours are 9:30 am - 7 pm, but we ask a minimum of 5 hours a day commitment.

Some potential for this to lead to a post school position with our company and we certainly have assisted in placing past interns with companies before.

We will satisfy any requirements for school credit. We are accommodating to those who wish to intern and also need to make auditions - but you must include that information in your cover letter. Heavy preference to those who wish to pursue a job as an agent in the future.

Some preference given to interns from top 50 Universities and Liberal Arts Colleges as well as preference given to those attending local schools.

Plenty of free parking and our office is very easily accessible by metro station (3 blocks from Universal City Metro Station).
