We do not guarantee meetings or representation. For actors, whether an agent decides to meet with you comes down to your training, experience, look, the quality of your materials, and honestly a bit of timing and luck. For writers and directors it's a slightly different game: agents and producers respond to the strength of your script, the work you can share, and whether you're the right fit for their list.
What Get Repped does is take the legwork out of the process. Your emails are sent directly from your own email account, every message is personalised, and our tracking tools show you exactly who opened your email and clicked your links so you can follow up with the right people at the right time. We give you the best shot at standing out, but the rest is down to you and your craft.
If you're an actor, we strongly recommend against it. The vast majority of professional casting in the UK goes through Spotlight, and in most cases an agent or casting director will not consider you without an active Spotlight profile. Before using the platform, actors should have an active Spotlight profile and professional headshots at a minimum. If you're currently graduating from an accredited drama school, that's also a great time to start using the platform.
If you're a writer or director, Spotlight doesn't apply to you, but the same principle does. To be considered by a creative agent you'll want something to offer: a strong script, a finished film, a slate of projects, or relevant credits and experience.
Yes. Alongside our actor databases, Get Repped offers two dedicated databases for creatives: London Creative Agents, covering literary and creative agents who represent writers and directors, and UK Producer Connections, covering producers, script developers, development executives and commissioners at UK production companies. You can buy either on its own or as a bundle, and both come with the same personalised bulk sending and live tracking tools our actors use.
We suggest having an IMDb presence before using the platform. It adds a level of professionalism and gives industry contacts somewhere to verify who you are.
The actors who see the best results tend to have a few things in place before they start their outreach. A Spotlight profile with at least 3 professional credits gives agents something concrete to assess. Up-to-date professional headshots are essential as they're the first thing an agent will look at. A clean, well-shot showreel can make a real difference in showcasing what you can do.
For writers and directors, the equivalent groundwork is a polished writing sample or finished film, a tidy slate or one-pager, and any proof of momentum you can point to, such as festival selections, competition placements or scheme credits. An IMDb page helps agents and producers verify you at a glance.
Beyond your materials, how you use the platform matters too. If you're currently in or have an upcoming show or screening, inviting industry through Get Repped is an effective strategy. Personalising your outreach, sending in batches rather than all at once, and following up with contacts who engaged with your material all increase your chances of making a genuine connection.
Absolutely! Get Repped is designed to be user friendly and intuitive. All the technical work happens behind the scenes, so you can focus on what matters most, writing a standout cover letter and selecting the contacts you want to reach.
We’ve made the process simple and straightforward, ensuring that anyone, regardless of technical experience, can easily navigate the platform.
However you like! But here are some tips based on what we've seen work best:
Send in batches, not all at once. Sending in smaller batches lets you use the tracking features properly. You can see who opened your email, who clicked your links, and follow up with the right people. Send everything at once and you miss all of that.
Don't email everyone at the same company. Pick one or two agents whose roster fits you and reach out to them first. Agents share promising submissions internally, so emailing everyone at the same agency at once just loses the personal touch. The same goes for production companies: pick the right person in development, not the whole team. If you don't hear back, you can always try someone else there later.
Use your Strategy Review. We look at a lot of profiles and outreach emails, so we know what works and what doesn't. Having someone review your materials and help shape your approach has made a real difference for our users. Don't skip it.
Nope. Your credits never expire. Use them at your own pace, take a break, come back in a few months, they'll still be there.
No. Get Repped is a one-time purchase. You pick a package, get your email credits, and use them whenever you're ready. No recurring payments, no monthly fees, no surprises.
Get Repped uses OAuth technology to securely connect with your email account. However, this also means we can only support email providers that offer OAuth integration, currently Gmail and Outlook/Hotmail/Live accounts.
Unfortunately, older email providers like iCloud, Yahoo, AOL, BTInternet, and similar services either don't support OAuth or have limited compatibility, which prevents us from offering secure integration with those platforms.
What are your options?
We prioritize your security and email deliverability, which is why we've built our platform around these modern, secure authentication methods.
We’ve made it easy by categorizing our agent list into three tiers:
1. Top-Tier Agencies – These agencies are highly competitive and typically receive hundreds of emails each month. We recommend applying only if you’re about to graduate from an accredited drama school or have professional experience to showcase. To stand out, you’ll need to bring something unique to the table.
2. Boutique Agencies – These mid- to high-level agencies are known for nurturing talent and often keep their books relatively small. They’re always open to submissions from new actors and provide a great balance of personal attention and industry connections.
3. Up-and-Coming Agents – Perfect if you’re looking for your first agent or are open to working with someone newer to the industry. These boutique agencies have opened in recent years and are actively seeking fresh talent, regardless of experience level.
To help you decide, our database includes direct links to agents’ current rosters (where available). This allows you to see if you offer something new that aligns with their client base.
Due to the digital nature of Get Repped and the fact that you gain immediate access to our database and email tools upon purchase, we do not offer refunds once any part of a package has been used. This includes sending any emails, accessing the database, or using any of the included features.
If you have purchased a package and have not used any part of it, you may be eligible for a refund on a case-by-case basis if requested within 30 days of purchase. To make a request, email support@getrepped.co.uk.
Full details of our refund policy can be found in our Terms of Service. This policy does not affect your statutory rights under UK consumer law.
An acting agent represents you as a performer. They help you find auditions, negotiate contracts, and guide your career. Agents typically have connections with casting directors and production companies, working to get you in front of the right people.
A casting director, on the other hand, is hired by producers to find the right actors for specific roles in a production. They organize auditions, review submissions, and make casting decisions. While they don’t represent actors, they work closely with agents and directly with actors during the casting process.
A creative agent (often called a literary agent) represents you as a writer or director. They submit your work, negotiate contracts and guide your career, much like an acting agent does for a performer.
A producer sits on the other side of the table. Producers develop and make projects, and our UK Producer Connections database goes well beyond the job title "producer": it covers script developers, development executives, commissioners and the many varied roles in that space. That means you can get your material to the person whose actual job is finding it.
Some do, particularly the biggest names, and it's usually less about snobbery than practicalities. Reading unsolicited scripts can expose a company to copyright disputes, and many simply won't open email attachments from unknown senders. Below the top tier, though, plenty of production companies and independents actively want to find new voices.
This is exactly why we built Hosted Material. Instead of attaching your script, Get Repped hosts it securely and sends a link. Every copy is individually watermarked with the recipient's name, nothing lands as an attachment, and you can see exactly who has opened your material and when. It's a professional, protected way to get your work read, and it shows recipients you take your material as seriously as they take theirs.
Get Repped is built for professionals at all stages of their career. You don't need decades of credits, but you do need to be serious about your career and have the basics in place.
For actors, that means an active Spotlight profile and professional headshots at a minimum. If you're currently graduating from an accredited drama school, that's a great time to start reaching out. Our database includes Up-and-Coming agents who are actively looking for fresh talent, so there are opportunities regardless of where you are in your career, as long as your materials are professional and ready.
For writers and directors there's no single credential like Spotlight, and careers take many shapes. What matters is that you're approaching the industry professionally: a strong, finished piece of work you're proud to share, and ideally some proof of momentum such as shorts, festival selections, competition shortlists or development scheme places. We suggest having an IMDb presence before using the platform. Get Repped is built for professional and emerging industry creatives, not first drafts.
Absolutely! In fact, it’s a great idea to start building relationships with agents and casting directors early in your career. Many drama students have successfully used Get Repped to introduce themselves to the industry and invite agents to their school shows and showcases. It’s a proactive way to get on their radar before you graduate.
Yes! Get Repped provides live metrics, allowing you to see when your emails are opened and what links were clicked. This gives you insight into how your outreach is performing, helping you decide when and how to follow up.
For writers and directors, the Strategy Review focuses on your outreach: your emails, your materials, your targeting and your timing. To be clear about the boundary, we don't give notes on your creative work. We won't tell you whether your script is good; we'll tell you whether your approach to the industry gives it the best possible chance of being read.
We're always adding to your toolkit with helpful free tools. Right now that includes Typecast Me (see how the industry might cast you), our PDF Watermark tool (protect your scripts and materials before sending them anywhere), and our Slate & One-Pager Creator (turn your projects into a clean, professional pitch document).
Coming very soon, and we're excited about this one, is Opportunities: a curated directory of open calls, development schemes and submission windows for actors and creatives.
For Outlook users: We have implemented a 50 email per day limit. This is to ensure your account remains in good standing with Microsoft. Outlook monitors sending patterns, and exceeding their recommended limits can result in your account being flagged for spam or temporarily suspended. By keeping within this limit, we protect your email deliverability and ensure your messages reach agents and industry contacts reliably.
For Gmail users: There is no daily send limit imposed by Get Repped. However, we strongly recommend sending your emails in batches rather than all at once. This allows you to make full use of Get Repped's tracking features, giving you time to analyze open rates and engagement. It also enables you to adjust your outreach strategy between batches based on what's working, helping you maximize your chances of success.
The daily limit resets at midnight, giving you a fresh allocation each day.
No, Get Repped will never ask for sensitive private information like your email password. Our platform securely automates the process of sending your emails on your behalf, using encrypted OAuth credentials. Just connect your Google or Microsoft account and you are set. This way, your emails are sent professionally and efficiently without requiring direct access to your personal accounts.
Yes, but only if your custom domain is hosted through Google Workspace or Microsoft 365. These are the only providers we support, as they use the same secure OAuth technology as standard Gmail and Outlook accounts.
If you're using a custom domain like yourname@yourdomain.com that's set up through Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, simply reach out to us at support@getrepped.co.uk with your email address. We'll configure your account to support your custom domain, and you'll be able to use Get Repped just like any other user.
Please note: Custom domains hosted on other providers (such as private email servers, Zoho, or ProtonMail) are not supported, as they don't use compatible OAuth authentication.
What a fantastic position to be in! Any responses from agents, casting directors or producers will go directly to your email, outside of Get Repped. Once you start receiving requests, the best next step is to arrange a meeting to get to know each other better and discuss how you can potentially work together.
Firstly don’t be discouraged, agents and industry contacts receive many submissions. If you don’t hear back after a few weeks, it’s appropriate to follow up with a polite email. If they’re not currently seeking new clients or material, keep building your experience and consider applying again in the future.
Also be sure to use our Request Strategy Review feature where we will take a look at your approach / profile / materials and offer constructive advice into ways you might improve your outreach.
Currently, we’re focused on supporting UK-based actors and creatives, but we’re always exploring ways to expand in the future. Keep an eye on our updates, as we may extend our services to other regions soon!
If you have any specific queries or simply want to know more, get in contact, we would love to hear from you. Send any questions you have to hello@getrepped.co.uk.
