Did anyone attend the Daisy and Dukes agency auditions last weekend? Have you heard yet either way?

I've heard good things about this agency. It's prob more whether there is much work for 14 year olds to pay spotlight, agency pics etc - my 14 year old too tall for musicals now? It's a tricky age

Yes Lola - send her pic! Nothing to lose!

Yes that does seem very tough on exam age students. Best of luck to them both

So glad to find this thread as was wondering when dd would hear.

Talya - are the shows evenings? So he may not need to miss school? What a shame if not - that will surely affect so many students.

We are with Top Talent - lots of castings inc film, to, commercials and musicals - all were suitable for my kids though didn't get most of them! Did get a couple of good things though. I think they are very busy, get lots kids in things but maybe could do more to help kids prepare for musicals etc -...

Thanks arianadrama - I think they hear in May? That does seems ages especially as we want to book holiday

Thanks for the replies. Daughter is 151 cm so that might be the reason.

Our agent charges a percentage of any fees received. The real cost is taking your child to castings etc so lots of train fares!

Does anyone know if there was a height restriction for this? DDs agent put her forward but no audition - seems a shame as she has done west end

Hi how is everyone getting on with this? My Dd went this weekend and despite nerves had a good experience. She found the other actors who were mostly older, welcoming and the 'casting' adults positive. No idea if she will get through to the summer courses but she is glad she went.

Hi think stand ins are very common ŵith young kids say under 6 and with any commercial filming overseas? You can understand why, and also why they don't say - as parent might not take them. It's a grim process commercials... With pencils I think there can be 3-4 for a role and client gets a choice f...

Thank you for replying - sounds like lots of options out there!

Hi

Does anyone have experience of West End Kids? Either the Saturday classes orthesummer intensive? I am wondering if it is worth my 10 year old trying for this or to keep her at her local club which she enjoys but she is now getting a little old for?

I would think your agent should have thought about this before putting you forward so might be worth asking them? They might be reassuring? Some contracts are very specific about you not taking part in ads that are in same territory or for same products - I've seen this on a supermarket ad contract ...

Has anyone been called for Sound of Music auditions yet?
