[moonpie]

Hello there, I'm so pleased to have found this wonderful site and wondered if you could help me at all. I'm looking for an Agent for my son in the Manchester area, he has got credits and is raring to go We don't want to go to Scream and wondered if anyone could suggest any alternatives. Many thanks

Does the agent HAVE to be Manchester Based... Most castings & auditions will be in London, have you tried Southern agents???

[moonpie]

We do have a Southern based agent at the moment and have not had a casting since February, so we are open to Southern agents but just thought there may be a good Northern one we could try.x

Most good agencies are sole agencies, which would rule out having a North & southern agent..I can only think of one agent who does allow this, & they are large & have a lot of internal competition, & mainly do commercail work How old is your Ds?? Maybe its his age/....???If hes under 12 id probably be applying to other good southern based agent,as there has been lots of castings since Feb for boys esp under 10s.. Once about 14 ( younger if they are tall/ old work is harder to find)

We are reaching the end of our contract with our southern agent, so now seems a good time to move on x

Hard to advise without knowing age of your DS, & which agent hes currently with, & also your location.. If you have an idea which agencies to try for then id say go for it .. if not if you want Pm me i can give you some names of good agencies to try..

Lime agency are based north and look for actors based near them. You dont have to have one near you, there are plenty in London like daisy and dukes, mark jermin, abacus etc
