Hello, how can we help?

Casting directors often see hundreds, sometimes thousands, of performers for each role, and unfortunately, they don’t have the time to provide individual feedback. In the rare instance that we do receive feedback, we will, of course, share it with you as soon as possible. 

If your child is offered a job the first thing we have to do is notify the council. It is against the law for your child to take a job without being licensed by the council first. The majority of the time there is a short time limit so it is important that you confirm and send us all the neccessary documents as soon as possible!

For an audition it is unusual that a child is required to miss school, as they are usually scheduled at weekends or after school hours.

If your child is successful and receives a job that requires them to miss a lot of school, they will be provided with a tutor whilst on set and will still be required to study.

A letter will also need to be provided from your child’s school agreeing to this arrangement.

Yes! Unless your child’s agent thinks the experience of a job alone would be beneficial, we will only put your child forward for PAID work.

Currently there is no national minimum wage for children under the age of 16, however most casting companies will work with the Equity minimum wage. Although the Equity minimum wage is still quite low, it prevents your child from being exploited.

Singing (e.g., vocal range, styles)

Dance (e.g., ballet, tap, contemporary)

Yes! Hobbies like horse riding, playing chess, or baking can show personality and versatility. Keep them relevant and concise.

That’s okay! Focus on skills, training, and a strong headshot. Casting directors often look for fresh faces, so a lack of experience isn’t a disadvantage.
