TDA Travels - Andrea Bachus in NYC


Andrea Bachus recently traveled to New York City to shoot for a pharmaceutical print project, and made the most of her time in a city known for its creative energy. While there for work, she extended her stay to explore the local culture—highlighted by catching a live performance of Othello. From set days to stage nights, Andrea blended business with inspiration, turning this professional trip into a memorable, well-rounded experience.


Agent Insight: Sabine Krausch Offers Free Community Meetings for TDA Talent


At Talent Direct Agency, we’re proud to offer our performers more than just representation—we provide support, insight, and guidance every step of the way. One of the most valuable resources available to our talent is the free community meetings led by Sabine Krausch, Film/Theatrical/Host Agent.

These sessions are designed specifically for talent signed with TDA and cover a wide range of essential industry topics—from understanding the audition process and building strong marketing materials to navigating communication with casting and booking confidently through the agency. Sabine shares insider knowledge, practical strategies, and personalized advice to help our talent grow professionally and stand out in a competitive industry.

These meetings are a chance to ask questions, gain clarity, and walk away with actionable tools that can elevate your career—not just in theory, but in practice with Talent Direct.

If you’re signed with TDA, don’t miss the opportunity to sit in. When these meetings are announced, we strongly encourage you to sign up, show up, and invest in your growth. Your success is our mission, and Sabine’s sessions are one more way we help make it happen.


UGC Division: A Fresh Focus on Creator-Driven Content


Talent Direct Agency is proud to announce the launch of our newly established UGC (User-Generated Content) Division, reflecting the growing demand for authentic, relatable, and creator-driven digital content. UGC refers to videos, photos, and testimonials created by real consumers and content creators, offering brands a powerful way to build trust and engage with audiences in an organic way.

We’ve revamped our website to feature this division and showcase the high standards we bring to UGC partnerships. Our roster includes vetted creators who produce quality, on-brand content while maintaining strong social presence and professionalism. Whether it's unboxings, product reviews, or lifestyle clips, our UGC talent brings the same commitment to excellence as every area of Talent Direct.


Now Onboarding: Commercial and Theatrical Talent for the Season


In addition to launching our UGC Division, we’re also entering a seasonal onboarding period for select categories of actors and commercial talent. This is a great time to get in front of our team.

We’re actively setting meetings and reviewing submissions across key categories, and we encourage talent to watch our social channels for updates on who we’re currently meeting with. Whether you’re a fresh face or an experienced performer, this could be your window to connect with the TDA team.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your professional journey we would love to meet with you. 


Girls on the Go Take a Pause


The TDA gals are always on the move—booking talent, scouting opportunities, and making things happen behind the scenes. 

But even powerhouses need a moment to unwind! We hit pause for a much-needed day retreat, trading our phones and calendars for cozy robes and spa vibes. A little calm, a lot of laughs, and just the right recharge to keep us going strong.
