We give every single application very careful consideration, but we with so many kids applying to join the Bubblegum family, this can take a little time. However, we will certainly be in touch if we need to arrange an interview with you and your child.
Make sure that our emails aren’t marked as spam and that your ‘Thank You For Applying’ email has gone straight to your inbox.
You might also want to make sure that all emails that come from @bubblegumcasting.com.au go are on your VIP list. We don’t want your child to miss out on any opportunities because an email from us was sitting in a spam folder!
We wish we could represent everyone that applies to join us but with 22,000 applicants this year, that’s simply not possible.
In fact, of those 22,000 applicants only 11,000 will come in for an interview and only 10% of those will join the agency.
With that in mind, it really is a good idea to help your child prepare for the interview to give them the best chance of success.
You can do that by following the instructions below. Luckily for babies, this prep work just involves being themselves, but there’s a little more to it for older kids and teens.
No preparation needed — yay!
Learn the line, “I’m a Bubblegum kid” and know how to recite it in different emotions.
We ask that all kids who are aged 8-12 prepare a monologue
If you’re not sure where to start, then we recommend checking out this list of monologues for kids.
Just remember to keep it around 30 – 60 seconds.
If your child has no acting experience, there’s no need to worry. We’ll take that into account during the interview.
All teens aged 12-18 must also prepare a monologue
If your teen is stuck for ideas and looking for some inspiration, then check out this curated list of monologues suitable for teenagers.
The monologue should be between 30 – 60 seconds long and suitable for teens.
Remember that if your teen has no experience in acting, we’ll take this into account during the interview.
There’s no need to learn lines if you are only applying for modelling representation.

At Bubblegum, we represent some of Australia’s brightest young stars, but even so, we’re always on the lookout for fresh new faces and talent.
If your child is aged anywhere from 3 months to 18 years of age, and you think they might have what it takes to shine in front of a camera or on stage, then we want to hear from you.
We’ll set up a quick informal chat where we’ll get a feel for your child’s suitability for working in the industry.
The lucky kids that make it onto our books benefit from in-house workshops and coaching sessions to help them brush up on their skills. They’ll also get great advice and tips from the Bubblegum team, some of whom have worked as child models and actors themselves! We’ll even arrange a portfolio shoot with our in-house photographer.
We want all the kids on our books to have their chance to shine and if that means working twice as hard to make it happen, then that’s what we’ll do!
