Online Casting is very confusing, there are many sites available, and it’s hard to know which sites will lead to the most auditions. We send you links to the most respected, professional, and effective platforms in the industry. Signing up with the correct sites will lead to the most auditions.
We help you navigate the legal process required before a child can accept a job. This includes providing the necessary steps and forms needed to get your child an Entertainment Work Permit. This is necessary to work in the State of California.
It’s very important to prepare you for what to expect on set. Not following or being familiar with expected behavior on set can impact your child’s chance of getting hired again.
We provide you with the current labor laws. It’s a lot to review and understand. If you are ever on set and have a question, you can always call us. It can be as simple as “how long is lunch supposed to be” or more technical questions like “how much is overtime pay.” We will do our best to help you.
Classes and training are important. Like any sport or hobby, you need guidance and education. We sometimes offer our studio to industry professionals to do a workshop, so please keep an eye on the website for upcoming events. We also encourage you to find an acting school or class that you like, and always feel free to call us if you want us to take a look at their curriculum. We are happy to review the companies you find and give our feedback.
If you want to get your child on set quickly we network with background casting companies that often get our clients on set while they are learning the industry. This is a fun and easy way to begin, and typically you are cast based on your photos and no auditions are required.
It’s important to get the right agent, or your child might not get many auditions. We provide you with contact information for some of the top agents in Hollywood and are always available to discuss any agent who shows interest in representing your child.
