Hello, how can we help?

Yes, we highly recommend it. Whilst some casting opportunities may come up that allow submissions via email, most will require a Spotlight profile for submissions. We’ll guide you through the registration process if your child is selected for representation.

A Spotlight CV is your child’s professional profile on Spotlight, used by casting directors to assess their suitability for roles. It includes essential details about their skills, experience, and appearance.

• Personal Details: Name, date of birth, height, eye colour, and hair colour.
• Contact Information: Our agency’s details (not personal contact details).
• Experience: A list of previous acting roles, including the production name, role type, and production company.
• Skills: Any special abilities like singing, dancing, sports, or languages.
• Training: Classes, workshops, or schools attended.
• Headshots: High-quality professional photos.

Update it whenever there’s a change in your child’s appearance, skills, or acting experience. Keeping it current is crucial for casting directors.

Include any skills that could make your child stand out, such as:

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

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

Sports (e.g., gymnastics, football, swimming, cycling)

Languages or accents

Instruments played

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.

A clear, professional headshot is mandatory. Additional photos showcasing different looks, age ranges and personalities can also be helpful.

• First Impressions Matter: Casting directors receive hundreds of submissions and often make initial decisions based on headshots before reviewing CVs.
  
• Shows Professionalism: A high-quality headshot demonstrates that your child is serious and prepared for the industry.
• Captures Personality: Professional photographers highlight your child’s natural look, energy, and unique qualities.
• Consistency for Casting: Accurate headshots ensure your child looks the same in auditions as they do in their profile.
• Meets Industry Standards: Experts use proper lighting, backgrounds, and resolution to create casting-friendly images.

Investing in a professional headshot increases your child’s chances of getting noticed in a competitive industry.

Ideally, every 6–12 months or sooner if your child’s appearance changes significantly, such as a new hairstyle or growth spurt.
