Finding Representation
So
you have decided to pursue acting for your child? You've taken
headshots, created a resume and submitted to a few casting calls, but
now you're wondering what to do next.
You
probably know that in order to truly succeed in showbiz, you need to
find representation. Easier said than done, right? Well, Children In
Film is committed to helping you do just that! As a social networking
site whose main goal is to support the positive employment of child
actors by bringing talent and industry professionals together, Children
In Film makes every effort to connect you and your child with the
representation you need. For the first time ever, we're providing a
service where you can easily connect with agents and managers and read their ratings and recommendations left by other members. It's an efficient and cost-effective way to get started on your search for representation.
Here are some suggestions for how to get started:
- Know the difference between an agent and a manager - Although
both agents and managers function similarly, a simple distinction
between the two is that agents negotiate and service contracts, while
managers engage in career direction and the overall management of their
client's career and business. To learn more, click here.
- Learn the proper steps for finding great representation - Read through our KidStart program. It is important to first be prepared with
headshots or snapshots of your child and a resume. We can help you
build a great resume even if you feel like your child does not yet
have experience.
- Do your research - Children
In Film makes it easy to search agents and managers in your area who represent children. You can view
their profiles and ratings, and contact other parents for references.
The list of representation is growing daily, so check back often!
- Submit to open talent calls - Children
In Film periodically features Agents and Managers who are taking
submissions for new talent. Make sure your profile is updated with a
photo, bio and resume information so you'll be ready for the next call!
