I've just had acceptances from, but not sure what to do.

Can anyone advise, what happens as I have a 5 year old and I cant keep taking him out of school, does anyone know what they do, how they work???

Any advice would be grateful

I have sent pic's off of my daughter to 5 modelling agencies, so far she has had provisional acceptions from BizzyKidz, Little Acorns and Juliet Adams, can anyone give me any advice or share any experiances with them? So far it seems that Little Acorns are the only ones who want to actualy meet her before asking for a £120 fee, although I have heard good things about BizzyKidz

Manchester Child Models

Hi, my children are models with a london agency, and i was very lucky in finding a genuine agency with which there was no initial out lay. However it is common for the agency to take a fee from any work carried out by your child, for example 25% which seems pretty common across the board. My agency has now satrted charging yearly but it is still only around £40 per child, and they are an agency with a good reputation.
I would be wary about agencies that claim they provide the children for certain campaigns, most clients book through castings as do Next who actually shoot most of their catologue in Miami with american kids. a casting is like an audition where a client takes a picture of kids that have been pre selected to attend, and then decide who they want, a casting fee is normally paid at around £18 per casting, so if you have to travel you kind of get your expenses paid.
All this said i know nothing of manchester agencies or how it works there, AFAIK most castings and jobs are in London, but then I have no experience of manchester so wouldn't know how it works. Whatever you decide good luck

I've emailed them and asked, however if anyone knows somw closer to home please advise?

The Pat keeling Agency in leicester has a good reputation

they do a lot of bookings for next

It might be worth contacting them for there info on payments etc and what to expect and use that as a bench mark for an agency nearer home for you

Or even ask them if they know of a manchester agency 9you could ask if they have an outlet local to you and see if they offer anything up)

Sorry jumped in and I'm not an expert but admin fee should be minimal and genuinely admin. I idiotically paid about 150 quid.

Janbo25 Tue 13-Sep-05 10:59:05

most charge an admin fee though don't they?

Ericblack Tue 13-Sep-05 10:57:40

Don't know Manchester but do be cautious. The advice I was given was if they ask for money upfront don't join.

Janbo25 Tue 13-Sep-05 10:44:11

Can anyone recommend respectable modelling agencies in and around the manchester area?
