Agents, Managers and auditions are at no cost.

Because this is how the business works. You Cannot cancel at the last minute on bookings or just not show up and/or be late to auditions, call times and interviews. You are going on their time now and not yours. Once you commit to a booking you must follow through on your end and be there on time and as expected.
