- Step 4 — If Successful, Your Child May Be Signed – If your child is accepted, you’ll receive: A personalised welcome Guidance on getting started Access to casting briefs for TV, film, modelling, catalogues & campaigns Support and training options Optional portfolio/folio pathways if you need them..
Important to Know
No Other Agency Representation
We can only consider children who are not already signed with another agency.
No Agency Can Guarantee Work
Final booking decisions are made by clients — casting directors, brands, and production companies.
Our job is to put forward the right kids for the right roles.
What Parents Should Expect
If your child is signed:
- They’ll be submitted for suitable roles
- You’ll receive guidance on what to do next
- You may choose to book a folio/photoshoot if you don’t already have one
You’ll hear from our team with ongoing support
What Casting Directors Look For
- Confidence (even shy confidence counts)
- Personality
- Ability to follow simple instructions
- Natural charm, humour, spark
- Clear photos and a strong folio down the track
Every child is different — which is why we love what we do.
Parent Prep: How to Get Ready
- Keep your child relaxed and comfortable
- Bring water, snacks, and a favourite toy for little ones
- Dress simply (no big logos, no costumes)
- Practise simple questions like “What’s your name?” and “What do you like to do?”
- Remind them they’re not being “judged” — it’s just a fun meeting
Open castings are a positive, friendly experience for kids.
