Bonnie & Betty Teens

[HK1]

Hi everyone,

Does anybody have any experience with Bonnie & Betty Teens? They seem to get loads of amazing things for children, but I'd be grateful for any info on their adult/teen department?

Thank you!

Hi, thanks for responding!

What has your experience been like with them?

Hi HK1

Didn't see this until now so a little late but anyway....

My DD was with Bonnie and Betty for a year back when she was 13-14, she's 17 now.
Looking at their website I think their "News Feeds" usually are with jobs for younger children I agree, however when my DD was with the agency she got lots of jobs & auditions- she just never "got" them on her own accord at the audition process. My DD is more of an acting performer, it was just a rare chance of luck she was accepted on to Bo&Be books, so she always felt less confident Smiling for the camera at moddeling shoots ( she hated her teeth back then) apose to acting on stage or screen. However DD got lots of castings/auditions for the likes of; kickers, Marks and Spencer's, Coster coffe, Tesco, Harrods, Films For Disney and Clint Eastwood and TV for "The Rob Brydon show" and disney TV series! Her friends from Bo&Be also for work for Harry Potter, One Directions music video, let's dance for comic relief, cervical cancer commercial/moddeling, New Look, Attack the block feature film and Sainsburys. Although i don't know what happens with the agency now and how many castings the teens get ( as I know Bo&Be put you Forward for everything you're applicable for) - when my DD was with the agency the work came in - it was just she never got the job after the casting (:

I hope that helps - and made sense!

Oh I'm so sorry! I just re looked over you're question and noticed you wrote "adult/teens" - Haha I completely blocked out the word "Adult" in my mind!

Well the adult side of things I don't know as much about but I know from other people with the agency they have been doing well with modelling and tv commercials and lots of film work ( exatras mainly), a few music videos and west end shows such as "Legally Bonde"!

Are you more in to the modelling or acting side of things?

My DD is with them and has had loads of amazing opportunities. Mainly extra work on films the last one being Les Mis but as this is what she wants to do then it suits. Dd 12 so not many casting as seem to be lots for 13+ at mo, if the kids fit the brief they get submitted. The girls in the office are all lovely and very approachable too

I applied around 3-4 days ago and haven't heard back. They say on their website that you will hear back within 15 days either way. Someone told me that if you don't hear back pretty quickly, they don't want you. Is this true or do they just have a lot of applications to go through since their books have been closed for so long?
Thanks x

I don't know anyone who's heard back from Bobe yet, think they will have a huge amount of applications as the books have been closed for so long and have also opened the Manchester branch. Fingers crossed for you, but it may be a bit of a wait yet x

Thanks, I was hoping that was the case Good luck to everyone who applied x

[Nisha101]
