Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I submit to your agency?

    You can submit through our online form found on the ‘Representation’ page with your headshot, résumé, and reel. We review all submissions and will reach out if there’s a fit.

  • Do I need professional headshots?

    Yes and no. Headshots are the first thing casting directors see. In order to make a good impression, having professional or semi-professional headshots will entice casting directors to take a further look into your profile, reel, and self-tape submissions.

  • Do you charge any upfront fees?

    No. We never charge upfront fees. We only earn a standard commission when you book paid work.

  • Can I be represented by multiple agencies?

    It depends on the market. Some regions allow multi-representation, others require exclusivity. We’ll explain what applies to your category.

  • How do auditions get sent to me?

    We submit you for roles and send auditions through Casting Networks, Actors Access, or via email with clear instructions.

  • What percentage commission do you take?

    Our commission follows standard industry rates (typically 10–20% depending on the market and contract type).

  • Do I need prior experience to be represented?

    Not always. We work with both new and experienced talent. Strong work ethic, professionalism, and willingness to train are key.

  • How often will I get auditions?

    Auditions depend on your look, market demand, skill set, and season. We submit you consistently when roles match your profile.

  • What is expected from me as a client?

    Keep your profiles updated, respond quickly, meet deadlines, behave professionally, and communicate any conflicts or changes.

  • Do minors need a work permit to audition or work?

    Yes. In most states (including California), minors must have an active Entertainment Work Permit before they can work and sometimes before they can audition. Parents must renew it every 6 months.

  • What is a Coogan account and is it required?

    Yes. A Coogan Trust Account is required for all working minors in California. A portion of a child’s earnings must be deposited into this protected account.

  • What expenses should families expect for a child actor?

    Common optional expenses include updated headshots, acting classes, wardrobe for auditions, and occasional travel for callbacks or shoots. These are your expenses, not the agency’s.

  • Is acting considered a job or a hobby for my child?

    It depends on your goals and commitment. Working consistently, attending training, updating materials, and being available for auditions makes it a job-like commitment, even if it’s fun.

  • Who is responsible for transportation to auditions or set?

    Parents or guardians are responsible for all transportation. Productions generally do not provide transportation unless it’s a major project with arranged pickups.

  • Should my child expect to audition often?

    Audition volume varies based on age, market, training, season, and casting demand. Some weeks have several auditions; others may have none. This is normal.
