AUDITIONS

Local Auditions. D&A Talent works closely with the Twin Cities top Agencies. Without D&A Talent auditions for these agencies would not be as accessible. Submissions for these agencies without D&A Talent would include months of waiting for your information to be filtered through their public submissions. D&A Talent removes those public submissions all together. D&A is proud of the fact that our talent have always began locally, and many of our experienced talent continue to stay local; because many of our talent who have made Minnesota their home, don't wish to pack up and move out of state.

Because of Covid-19 these have been put on hold, because of travel restrictions and keeping with the CDC Guidelines. National Auditions. Perhaps the main reason our talent are among the best. Exposure to National markets is far more valuable than gold itself. Think about it. When you audition for an agent (if you get the opportunity to on your own), how much interaction do you receive? We're betting close to none. Where as if you audition through D&A, you actually get to exchange words and you receive a written evaluation every time you audition. Where else can you get that?
