Why do agents "honeymoon" you?

Not for myself, but I noticed a few colleagues who sign up with big name agencies. At first I see them posting selftapes or getting roles. Even their agents post their accomplishments on their own instagrams. But then after awhile, nothing happens for a long...

Tom Todoroff Conservatory in NYC?

Has anyone done or thought about doing the 2 year conservatory at the TT Studio? I've trained with Tom before and really enjoy him but I'm not sure the 2 year program is the best choice for me. For one, I can't afford it. I probably couldn't even afford to...
