There were lots there from Raz, i hadnt heard of them before but they are clearly huge! Yes being the parent of a child who wants to do lots of things is very expensive

my DD currently does 8 hours of various classes a week... At some point we r going to have to weed somethings out!

I now am now completely unsure what to do, today I was going to not think about if we go ahead and accept TT and we have had another email from them re docs etc. I've read good things and bad about them and bobe.

Pass on with TT with the chance with of being accepted by bobe?

HaHa! No, not at all

. I'm with Top Talent (well, my ds is!) and we are very happy with them. I was basically saying that you won't make a huge mistake if you go with them. I had some wise advice (thanks Deb) when I was in a similar position, and I was assured that one agency doesn't have an advantage over the others.
Sorry for making you worry

Crikey - do you mean me? I might print this post and stick it on my wall for when my lovely DDs hit their teens. Just to remind them that someone, somewhere, sometime, thought I said something wise. It's all downhill from here

Yes Deb, you are the wise one I mentioned

. Teenagers can go through a stage of knowing everything

so it's a good idea to remind them that mum actually knows a thing or two!

I wouldn't worry to much about choosing between these 2 agencies - both are amazing and have great reputations. They both seem to treat their clients well and are equally good at fielding talented children for auditions as well as securing great roles for the successful children. I don't think you can make a wrong choice and of course you can always change agent if you find you are not suited together. Most people would be extremely pleased to have a choice like this to make.
Don't stress yourself out over it. You'll have a blast no matter which you pick.
Well done and keep smiling

Thanks All, we have been putting off for over a year doing this as we were not sure it was something she really wanted, but she assures us she does. So nothing ventured nothing gained. When she was a toddler many times I was told she should be a child model but we are a busy family and it was not possible. We are still busy but she seems to know her own mind. So we will see, thanks so much for all the WISE words

Now to go rob a bank lol

You could always compromise and take the agent photo/admin fee from her first pay check? With the right agent and right work, it could be covered in no time
Best of luck on your journey and be sure to let us know how you get on xx

Good luck with whatever you decide! We've been really really happy with TT (had fab castings and jobs) and I know someone else who has similar experience with bobe so don't think you can lose. Let us all know what you do and enjoy!
