Re: School letter

Pretty normal for commercials. Rare in other types of work I would say. Commercials works on short turn-around times where often the decision on which kid(s) the client signs off on is only made a few days before the shoot. There will multiple sign offs required in the casting process (the director,...

Re: Les Miz Rocks Concert

Jo Hawes posted on her twitter yesterday that she hasn't yet had the nod to proceed with any of the Cam Mac productions she is casting. She will be in touch when she does. Plenty of time yet. They did three weeks of rehearsals for the pre-Xmas shows and the recalls were just over two weeks prior to ...

Re: Moving from Modelling to Acting

Re: Is it ok to say 'no' to audition

Agree it is always ok to say 'no' to an audition. The agent's reaction will probably depend on what relationship you have with them, how frequently you turn down auditions and your reasons for doing. I think you are being realistic about your daughter's Matilda chances but would say the following fo...

Re: Pay question

Based on a bit of experience with ads there are generally two types of payment to expect. You should expect the shooting fees and any other associated pay under the contract (wardrobe, travel days etc) to be paid around four-six weeks after the job. The Agency should be sending an invoice out for th...

Re: Meeting with Head Teacher

I believe these apply whether they are working in the theatre, or doing commercial work. By way of ...
