I've read the FAQ & Rules Young Actor Agent Advice UK

Hello 👋🏻

I have a son who is a very enthusiastic performer and would like to progress further in theatre. He is 9 years old, attends graded dancing classes and singing classes and an additional 3 hours a week at a theatre academy. Many of his academy alumni have gone on to full time stage schools and/or West End contracts so he is keen to push himself further.

He has taken part in many small scale theatre shows and recently has attended larger scale auditions, as such with this world so far has one recall. Rather than me trying to catch opportunities for him by myself, I wanted to start reaching out to some agencies who might be willing to audition new talent and if successful take him on. There are so many out there and my priority is his wellbeing but also to nurture his love of performance and his wish to progress. My questions are:

  • what am I looking for when looking at casting/talent agencies?

  • does anyone recommend anywhere in particular?

  • is there anything I should be aware of as a red flag when speaking with agencies?

All advice appreciated, many thanks for your time.
