Re: Manchester agency

Hi there, I think everyone up North will know the agency you are talking about, infact we were with them until I realised just how awful they were and moved. Agencys should NOT MAKE YOU PAY ANYTHING. You pay for headshots and spotlight and that's that. Headshots don't need to be done by the Agency e...

Re: Brand new agency help please?

Again that is something I would run from. Purple Giraffe for instance want to see what your child can do via a self tape. If they like then they call you. That to me is the norm. Seriously have a word with Louise at PG she will help you and advice you.

Re: Northern Agency recommendations??

Try purple Giraffe. Excellent agency, young, vibrant and really really look after the children, they know them individually which is fab. Far better than the likes of Scream and I can say that having had experience with them.

Re: Brand new agency help please?

We were with one agency which was huge and we had a contract and it was a nightmare. We are with a wonderful agency now who don't have any contracts and its so much nicer. I have heard that Bonnie and Betty don't have contracts either. I guess some do and some don't.

Re: Brand new agency help please?

Did you say you would have to have a years contract with them??? if so then that would be a defo no no for me. Good agencies don't ask for contracts. Do lots of research. Good luck

Re: Advice on agency fees

I have to agree. I suggest you contact other agengies and see their policies and I am sure you will realise that the agency your talking about is not like most. If its the one I am thinking of we were with them for a short while, left once I realised that there was something very wrong and found a f...

Re: Northern Agency recommendations??

my son is with a wonderful Agency up north and has lots of auditions up North and down South. I don't want to be with a London Agency as I cant commit to going to auditions in London every week. Explain to them what you can and cant do and see what they say.

Re: Advice on agency fees

A good Agency does not ask for money. You should only pay out for spotlight and headshots. We were with a big Northern Agency who took money off us for admin, headshots and other various things. I looked into it all and realised its not the best. We are with an amazing agency now they take no money ...

Re: Newbie Top talent agency?!

We were also with scream and it certainly wasn't for us. We went to another big agency after Scream and I felt I was selling my son to the devil and was about to call the whole thing a day until I found my sons current agency who I totally adore. It has few children and because of this they have suc...

Re: Bonnie & Betty or Daisy & Dukes

Hi. The bit of advice I will give is keep the agency small. We were with 2 very big agencies including B&B and it was awful. I find the bigger the agency the less they know of your child. We are from the North West and have a wonderful agency now up North who have been fantastic. We were with an...
