Go-sees with Agents & Managers

Go-Sees with Agents & Managers at the World Championship of Performing Arts (WCOPA)

One of the most valuable opportunities for contestants at the World Championship of Performing Arts (WCOPA) is the chance to participate in Go-Sees with top producers, agents, and managers from the entertainment industry. These go-sees provide a unique platform for participants to network with key industry professionals and discuss potential career opportunities. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to showcase your talent in front of decision-makers who can help launch your career.

How It Works:

  • Private Go-Sees: Contestants may receive a personal email invitation to meet with specific agents or managers. These private meetings are exclusive and by invitation only.
  • Open Call Sessions: In addition to private go-sees, there are also open call times when all participants have the chance to meet with industry professionals who may not have seen their performance during the competition.
  • Industry Representation: Producers, casting directors, talent agents, and managers from leading entertainment companies attend these sessions, offering invaluable feedback and potential contracts.

Private Go-Sees

During the WCOPA competition, select contestants may receive an email invitation for a private go-see held in a public area with specific agents or managers. These one-on-one meetings offer participants a unique opportunity to discuss their potential career path, ask questions, and explore any opportunities the agent or manager may offer.

How Private Go-Sees Work:

  • Invitations Sent: Contestants receive an email with the details of the private go-see, including the specific table and agent they’ve been invited to meet.
  • Exclusive Meetings: Only those with an invitation are allowed into the go-see area during this time.
  • Structured Setup: Approximately 30 tables are set up where agents, managers, and producers meet with invited contestants to discuss opportunities in the industry.

What to Expect:

  • Personalized Attention: Contestants can discuss their performances, ask for feedback, and gain insights from top professionals in their field.
  • Career Guidance: Industry representatives often provide recommendations and guidance on how to take the next steps in the entertainment industry.

Open Call Format:

  • Networking Opportunity: Contestants who did not receive a private invitation can still meet with agents, managers, and producers.
  • Face-to-Face Time: These sessions allow performers to introduce themselves, ask questions, and network with key industry contacts.
  • Equal Opportunity: The open call ensures that every participant has a chance to be seen and heard by the right professionals, even if their initial performances weren’t observed by all agents.

The Go-Sees are designed to help WCOPA contestants take their talents to the next level by providing direct access to industry gatekeepers.

Open Call Sessions

For those who do not receive a private invitation, there is still the opportunity to participate in Open Call Sessions during the go-sees. These sessions are open to all contestants, providing everyone with a chance to connect with producers, agents, and managers.
