No,they do like the child to be in regular training and they put on some workshops but they don’t mind if you miss some the workshops are fab though x

It doesn’t really matter where the agency is based as once you are with them most communication is by phone or email they all have access to the same jobs,a lot of which are likely to be London based,so the opportunities are the same hope this helps xx

I agree with Tracie on Purple Giraffe,lovely ladies who run it and very honest and approachable:) we met with a lot of different agencies,including London ones and you just kind of know when it’s right for you xx

Hi :) we are new too and found it all abit overwhelming! Agent wise I would say look around,apply for lots and get a good feel for them as what’s right for one isn’t necessarily right for another. Most agencies will get to put kids forward for the same castings bar a few that might get personal reco...

Oh gosh that is confusing!! How odd!! Hope you get sorted! X
