The most basic way to approach agents or managers in your entertainment career is of course the mailed-in submission, which consists of a cover letter, résumé, and headshot(s). You may also include a reel, if you have one. When it comes to assembling your packet, it's generally best to keep things simple. After all, agents and managers have seen every gimmick in the book - from food to party favors - and these gimmicks usually end up in the trash. But if you're in a play or showcase that spotlights your talent particularly well, invite reps to see you.
