SEEKING REPRESENTATION 

• MUST BE WITH IN COMMUTING  DISTANCE OF  ANGELES OR BE WILLING TO COME OUT  FOR AT LEAST 2 TO 3 MONTHS.
•  E-MAIL OR MAIL PICTURES OR HEADSHOTS TO US  INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING ON EACH PICTURE WITH ALL OF THE CHILD'S INFORMATION ON THE BACK OF EACH PICTURE, INCLUDING PHONE NUMBERS AND ADDRESSES
• WHEN SUBMITTING TO US or e-mailing to us,  PLEASE PUT THE CITY AND STATE THAT YOU LIVE IN.
• WHEN SENDING PICTURES THROUGH THE MAIL, PLEASE SEND A SELF ADDRESSED STAMPED ENVELOPE and put your phone number, dob, age, parents name and child's name on the back of each picture. 

CHILDREN 3 YEARS OLD AND YOUNGER

• We work on a commission basis.

• SAG principle 15% , 

•  extra, non-union, and print work 20%

• We do not usually place the children under 3 with one particular Talent agency, unless an agency refers them to us.  We do them freelance. Most talent agencies do not take children on until they turn 4.  Some will take them on at 3. The agencies will call their managers when they have projects for children under 3 and we do the leg work for them.

• PICTURES MUST BE PUT ON LA CASTING( 1ST PICTURE IS FREE) and BREAKDOWN SERVICES (ALL PICTURES ARE FREE)  

• YOU CAN MAKE YOUR PICTURE SHEETS TO TAKE IN ON AUDITIONS OFF OF THE RESUME ON LA CASTING..

• Please  include an additional picture of  parents and siblings together on LA casting, as we sometimes have commercial auditions that want real families

• Updated pictures must be sent to LA casting on January 15, April 15, July 15, and October 15. 
  * One reason we have a cut off date is because we make books out of the current pictures and take it to some of the casting agents.  If you don't have the pictures in to LA CASTING  by the cut off date you will not be in the book.    We can not get your child out on auditions with out pictures.  Casting directors pick from our picture submissions for 99% of all auditions.  This saves you from going on senseless auditions, if your child does not fit the part. Please Send them on time.

• Please send copies of current work permits and trust accounts to us for our records.  

• You must constantly update sizes and abilities, etc. in LA CASTING AND BREAKDOWN SERVICES.  PLEASE PUT THE DATE YOU UPDATED YOUR INFORMATION IN LA CASTING UNDER HOBBIES OR SKILLS IN LA CASTING RESUME SECTION.
  

• Pictures are very important. These pictures are submitted to casting directors, either through LA Casting or by hard copies that our office prints up. We do not charge you to print up pictures for submissions for younger children. We do this at our expense. The casting directors  look at these pictures to determine if they want to audition your child or not. It is like a pre-audition.  Please get the pictures to LA CASTING on time. You must call us when you notice that they have actually put it on the web site, so that we can paste it into our database.  It looks very bad for you and for us, if we do not have current pictures on file to submit with. We have started putting books together for some of the casting agents.

CHILDREN OVER 4

• You must make money for us to make money.  

• We work on a commission basis.

• SAG principle 15% , 

•  Extra, non-union, and print work 20%

• We need professional colored  headshots or composites for children over 4. We will suggest photographers for you to use. You do not have to use them, but they are the ones that the agents we work with like to use.  We do not make a profit out of these pictures.  They are a necessity .The prices will vary from photographer to photographer and from print company to print company.

• We do children under 3 freelance, but for the children over 3 we place them with a SAG Agency.

ACTING CLASSES

• ACTING CLASSES are a must  for children over 6, unless we feel that they do not need them.  Some children under 6 need classes, as well.   Every one must work at their craft. You do not have to take classes continuously. We will refer you to acting coaches that our agents recommend.

• We do coach our children on theatrical scripts for free, when they have a theatrical audition.  You always have to be coached for theatrical auditions, either by us or another professional coach.

• The advantage of having a manager is that you have a support system for you and your child. We do a lot of extra things for you that an agent does not have time to do. We work with over 14  SAG agencies. You have a better chance of getting your child an excellent talent agent and of getting out on auditions, if your with us.

BELOW IS INFORMATION ONLY FOR THE TALENT WE REPRESENT, IF YOU ARE SEEKING REPRESENTATION PLEASE GET IN TOUCH WITH US.

RULES

Your child’s welfare is of the up most importance to us and of course, comes first. Please call us if they are sick or you are going out of town, so we can replace them on an audition. We will also stop submitting them until they get well or you come back. Babies might go through " stranger anxiety" and Toddlers go through the "terrible two’s". This is normal. Let us know when this happens, so we can "book them out" until it is over. If you commit to an audition then you are responsible for going. If your child is sick, then you must call us in time to replace him.

Notification of Auditions:
I work until all of the audition times are given out for the day, even if it is 11PM.  You must call us back immediately to confirm or you could loose the audition.   If we are given the call the day of the audition you will only have a few hours notice (sometimes these are the best ones to go on, as a lot of people will not be able to go) and we would like you to try to make it.

Prepare in advance for emergencies.
Please make alternate plans to get them to auditions if you are: working, if your car is with your spouse for the day, you have another child who is ill, your car is in the shop, and etc., etc. It looks bad for us as well as your child if you cancel auditions.

Twins, Triplets, Quads, etc.  I do call the twins Club Talent Liaisons when I don’t have enough children for certain projects, but that is for approximately 5% of the calls that I get.

Take my phone number, (818)980-2900, with you at all times. Call me if you are late to an audition, so I can notify the casting director. You must keep a record of the agent I sent you through and what your child wore to the audition.

Commissions:
There is a 15% commission on principle projects and a 20% commission on non-union, extra (back ground work) and print work . The SAG Talent agent on record for the project gets a 10% commission on principle projects and a 20% commission on print work. This commission is out of all monies received.

OFFICE HOURS  FOR TALENT are between 10 AM and 5:00 PM.
Please do not call before 11 am or after 5:00 unless it is an emergency or you are calling to confirm an audition. You must call to confirm an audition at any time of the day or night. The answering machine is always on. If you get the answering machine during business hours, I am either busy doing a submission or taking a booking. If you call and the phone rings, but no one answers, I am on the other line and I can not get to you right then, so please call back. Only call the main number (818)980-2900, never call any secondary numbers. We do go to lunch  between 1 and 3. (everyone has to eat)

10) If the trust is established in the US. It must be in a financial institution that is insured by one of the following:  Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF) or their respective successors, or with a company that is and remains registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. 

11)The trustee may transfer funds between accounts or another savings plan at the same financial institution or company, provided that the funds transferred shall continue to be held in trust.

Please allow for this as this could mean the difference between good pictures and bad pictures.  You only get one try.  Please make sure that the child is in a good mood to get their pictures taken.   If they are not, then ask the photographer if they can do it at a different time.
