While the majority of initial casting decisions are now made via self-tape and followed by a Zoom meeting, there is still the possibility of having to travel, often at short notice, to an in-person casting.
These are most frequently held in London and Manchester but could also be elsewhere in the UK.
These sessions may not be funded by the customer, so you may have to cover the cost of the travel up until the point you are offered the job.
For young people it's worth bearing in mind a lot of the work takes place during school time. Young people in Year 11 or below will need permission from their head teacher, and also from the LEA.
Permission is only required at the point you are confirmed for a job and we will arrange the appropriate permissions.
If the young person gets a longer-term job,
such as a film, series or theatre production then on-set tutoring will be provided.
We cannot guarantee our clients work, as the decision who gets the job lies with the casting agents and associated companies, but we can promise you we will submit you for every brief you are suitable for.
We charge a commission on any jobs we procure for you. The rates are shown below. You will be paid within 5 working days of your fee being received from the customer.
Child models / actors must have their own bank account as the fee has to be paid directly to the young person, rather than to a parent or guardian.
We are a non-sole agency. You can be represented by another agent at the same time if you would like to.
