Parents’ Guide
Everything you need to know about getting started, safety, bookings, and payments.
Getting Started
- Apply: Submit via our Apply page (parent/guardian only).
- Review: We evaluate photos, age, and interests to recommend next steps.
- Onboarding: We’ll suggest portfolio needs (headshot, waist-up, full-length) and basic coaching.
On-Set Etiquette & Safety
- Parent/guardian must be present for minors at all times.
- Age-appropriate wardrobe; written consent for any sensitive concepts.
- Clear call sheets, vetted creatives, safe work hours by age.
- Talent may refuse any direction that feels unsafe or uncomfortable.
Photos & Portfolio
Strong, clean images help casting see your child quickly:
- Headshot: natural light, neutral background, no heavy retouch.
- Waist-up: simple top, natural expression.
- Full-length: fitted but age-appropriate outfit, neutral shoes.
We also offer in-house portfolio development (faster, budget-friendly, aligned with what agencies and casting actually want).
See examples on our FAQ page.
Casting, Holds & Bookings
- Submission: we pitch suitable projects to reputable clients/agents.
- Request: self-tape or go-see instructions are sent to parents.
- Hold: tentative date—keep talent available until released/confirmed.
- Booking: confirmed call time, location, wardrobe & usage terms.
We never guarantee jobs—final decisions are made by clients/casting.
Payments & Taxes
- Typical payments arrive net 30–60 days from client unless stated otherwise.
- We take the agreed management commission from the project fee.
- Parents are responsible for tax reporting for minors; consult your tax professional.
