Want to be a child actor?
There are a few things to consider when applying for your child to become an actor, we have tried to cover the common questions below. If after reading through the list you still have questions, please do drop us a line!
What age children do you accept?
We work with 4 year olds through to 18 year olds.
Do I need my child to have a professional portfolio?
No! However we do ask that parents send in a clear headshot against a plain background that can be used on the site. Please see our page on Photo Hints and Tips. Children are also able to attend our studio days and have their photos taken, for an additional small fee, for use on our website which we hold every few months.
How much will it cost to join your agency?
Nothing! Unlike other agencies, we do not charge ANY fee to join or be listed on our site. We make our money by charging a commission to the clients for every child that is booked for a job. There is a fee to join Spotlight for the year, which is payable directly to them.
What type of roles do you get?
We work with a variety of clients and are pleased to offer opportunities within television, film and stage.
Can you guarantee me work?
Unfortunately not, which is why we will also not restrict the number of agencies you join. However we will actively market out your information to our clients (subject to your approval).
Should I live within commuting distance of London?
Not necessarily. Most of the work that we get is in and around the London area and the Home Counties, so living within a commutable distance is preferable, however we do also cater for the rest of the UK. Please also note that a large number of clients hold castings prior to booking, so you should be prepared to travel to London for these at short notice.
What happens next?
If you are interested in joining KW Actors, please contact us by emailing us with a clear photo and a short monologue. We will aim to respond to all applications within 14 days. Due to the large number of applications, if you have not heard from us, then unfortunately you have not been successful.
What if I have more questions?
That is no problem at all. Please Contact Us and we will be happy to speak with you.
