Modelling agencies for kids in Canberra

Just wondering if anyone has had any positive experiences with kids modelling agencies in Canberra.

I’m considering registering my kids with one, but have heard lots of negative things to be aware of.

Does anyone have any agencies here they would recommend?

I’ve also noticed some of the bigger agencies list themselves as ‘Australia wide’ but have no offices here in the ACT – anyone listed with any of these and had to travel far?

Thanks

Good question, always good to suss out options when seeking a talent agency for your child. We’re from Bubblegum Casting, https://www.bubblegumcasting.com.au/ , the longest running children’s talent agency in Australia. We have three locations, Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra. Great thread!

BethiePrice – most sensible comment on here (although I am amused by many more)

gourmetmumma – did you really think you weren’t going to get this response? dpm (comment #3) and everyone else saw it coming a mile off.

I’m glad gourmetmumma didn’t have a rant about anonymous people on the internet this time around… again, the irony of that statement escaped her at the time.

” I’m considering registering my kids with one, but have heard lots of negative things to be aware of. “

If you want constructive comments, you should give a bit more background.

Reasons Why…
1. Because I want them to – Good for you. Every parent thinks the same about their kids. So go to the yellow pages, find some agencies call them, research them ask to see their portfolios…get back on the internet forums and ask about specific agencies. Make sure your keep that psychologist’s phone number handy because you MAY need it. If you are pushing them into it because you didn’t make it as a kid or because you did make it as a kid make sure that you do it only when they are old enough to tell you that’s their goal too. I don’t see the point in forcing a child to complete your personal dream when you failed or making them do it because you want to have boasting rights (GENERALISED COMMENT ONLY – NOT SPECIFIC TO O.P)
2. Because they want too – Congratulations to your kids for having goals in life and kudos to you for being a good parent and encouraging them. Just please please promise me you will sit them down and explain the pros and cons. Explain to them that people are harsh and that they will sometimes be judged because they are too (insert this that and the other). The best place to educate your children is at home and they need to be as sure as they can be of your support should something not happen the way they want it to.
3. To boost self-esteem – modelling is not the way to do it. It is a very cut throat industry even for kids/child models. You can do you research on this by looking up news stories or reading magazines. IMO modelling is the worst way to boost self esteem. Try drama classes or public speaking classes. Self-esteem is better boosted by peers (sounds odd but true). If someone is doing great in a drama class others want to be like him or her so will generally try to surpass them. In this they need your support as well.
4. Because they need a hobby…have you thought of sport? I hear there is a new Junior Gridiron team starting up…little athletics? Callisthenics?
I’m hoping that this doesn’t come across at criticism, but before you post things in a public forum you need to make sure you are prepared to receive good and bad comments. You are in a public forum. The police will not do anything about this, trust me I learnt the hard way. Next time you post a comment or request for opinion in a public forum remember that this country supports freedom of speech. And if you don’t like people’s opinions…don’t’ ask for them.
I hope you have a good Christmas.

All I asked was “why?” Depending on your intentions there could be very different options. You still haven’t explained what kind of modelling, what benefit for the kids, what kind of spare time you have. Do you know what you’re doing?

“Can any of you give a legitimate answer as to why you hover around riotact terrorizing people who post innocent questions?”

Terrorizing? good lord…. hardly….

Someone disagrees with you on the internet. Do you:
A) respond rationally
B) call them all d*cks

I think you are completely over-reacting. Just because people are disagreeing with you and/or taking the p*ss (which is only to be expected on a public forum) doesn’t mean you are being bullied and terrorised. It also doesn’t give you cause to go into an abusive rant.

Get a grip woman.

To those who felt the need to bully and intimidate with derogatory comments I’m interested to know why?? Why say something so hurtful? I don’t get it.
My rant and swearing episode was out of pure anger towards those posts. Can any of you give a legitimate answer as to why you hover around riotact terrorizing people who post innocent questions?
Since my requests to admin have been ignored I assume they support the bullying that goes on here. I never said I was reporting to a government department or the like but it has been reported.

I just think you are way to sensitive for a place like this, perhaps a supportive mothers group style forum would be more to your taste, something like http://www.essentialbaby.com.au or the like. You can receive plenty of sugar coated encouragement in whatever egotistical pursuits you choose for your little darlings

To be one of the first to make a constructive comment….
If they even exist anymore, the Polka Dots agency had a brief thing at a hotel in Narrabundah where we registered after a photo shoot [About 2003??. Supposedly, it could have been lucrative, but apart from the initial fee [about $500] and the fact we had to get our 2y.o. [at the time] an ABN, pay our own way for travel and accomodation to “gigs” around Aus, it ended up falling into the too hard basket. He got his face onto their website, but we never had any contact back from them after that.
Buyer beware…

OP it was your right to post or not post the question. Everyone else has the ability to respond. Alot will say things that involve judging you as a parent or a person. This happens on forums all over the internet. Really other than a few words back and forth, if you found any of it offensive, I’d suggest avoiding the internet altogether.

I don’t think the post should be removed for many reasons. You have posted numerous posts on here so you really should have known what some of the respondants are like. Personally I don’t agree with everything they said, but previous posts does paint your personality, whether you like it or not. Maybe in real like you are not the person who the posts paint a picture of. so if thats the case try and make posts that paint the real picture of you.

Finally, i’m not a parent, I’m single and mid 30’s. Trust me, I get all sorts of stereotypes thrown at me from being selfish, to being gay. Neither are true. I know many parents and not all of them fit the stereotypes, but more do than not.

So my advice, let your kids do what they want to do. If thats modelling then help them towards that goal but rely on independant non financially compromised advice. As one poster said, if your child has what it takes to be a model, then a modelling agency will have no issues telling you they are interested. Same advice would apply to parents who want the child to play tennis or golf, or whatever they played. By all means give your child a rich tapestry of choices and if they choose modelling then see how it goes. Of course i’ll get told off now for offering advice and not being a parent, probably from parents…..I’ll just say its not my choice i’m not a father.

Gourmet mummas right.
Anything less than 100% support to questions on RA – no matter how retarded they may be, means you’re a murderer.

Well, I guess to be really fair, people could stop jumping to conclusions and making snap judgments based on the little information that the OP provided…but of course, that’s not going to happen! It’s much more fun for people such as jenny123 to simply recomment psychiatric treatment.

The ‘she should have known she’d get answers like this’ crowd are fun too. Nothing like a bit of predictability!

Eager to know what in my post implied a snap judgement?

Sorry, my post wasn’t as clear as it could be – I should really have just quoted your opening sentence, the rest was speaking generally, not specifically about what you’d written.

Of course now though, I look a bit stupid after jumping to someone’s defense before they immediately go all ‘crazy cat lady’. So I’d also like to demand that my supportive post be immediately removed, otherwise I’ll be forced to go to the authorities – I’m on the phone to Canberra Connect demanding to be put through to the appropriate area as I type this.

We look forward to seeing just which government agency is responsible for policing people getting responses they don’t like, to questions they’ve chosen to post on a website.

I think they’re called DHTFU.

For what it’s worth…

One of my kids has done some work through Victoria’s Models, which is Canberra based, and we have had good experiences with them.

He’s done a number of TV ads, a promotional night at Parliament house and a promo campaign for a new suburb in Gungahlin. His friends have seen him in the ads for this campaign when they went to the movies, and they thought it was pretty cool.

The only thing I don’t like about it is that I’m a senior professional person with almost 30 years experience under my belt, and his hourly rate is better than mine. 🙂

But seriously…the real problem is that he’s missed a few days school over the last 3 years to do the photo shoots. In exchange, he’s had a lot of fun, made a big stack of cash, and gained enormously in self confidence.

Why so sensitive? If you are this thinskinned, please don’t get your kids into modelling. They will be scrutinised and judged over the smallest “blemish”. Harsh criticism goes with the territory. Unless your kids are 1 in a million (each) you would be better off concentrating on their education so they have a great and satisfying career following a tertiary ed., rather than settle for catalogue modelling or live gigs at Woden Plaza …

No I didn’t find a cafe where I don’t have to supervise my child, A) because that was not what I was looking for and B) because what I was saying in my post was that what I want doesn’t exist and asking if it was indeed a reasonable idea.

My comment above about other people’s children being not as nice looking as mine was a little tongue in cheek – given this post, it’s obvious that everyone thinks their kids are better.

The usual blast from the usual crowd who obviously spend their days waiting for innocent people to post genuine thoughts and questions.

Funny though, because just today I took my son to his swimming lesson and was looking around at the other kids and thinking, “my aren’t there some uglies out there”. And then I looked at my son splashing around in the water and thought he was the most beautiful thing I have ever clapped eyes on. I then duly chastised myself for the first thought and mentally told myself that everyone thinks their child is beautiful whether they are or not.

Why shouldn’t a parent consider this as something for their child/ren? It may not be for every child – and certainly not mine as he’s very hard to channel into structured activities, but if others are able to take it on then it’s fine – and a parent should know this. Given the stuff that’s out there for kids these days I’m sure there is the demand.

From the little I know, you do have to shell out for a portfolio first and there are no guarantees that they will ever get work. Just be careful for dodgy operators.

Pay them no mind gourmetmumma, they’re just bitter because of their ugly children.

gourmetmumma said :

but you’ve seen the many posts/articles about parents getting ripped off/scammed right? You realise most of the companies prey on the fact the parents think their kid is an angel – and somehow with a bunch of expensive classes they’ll be the next child super star.

imo take you kid to an independent agency that doesn’t do acting classes, team building exercises etc and ask him outright, “is this kid a model”. If he says anything other than “god yes we will hire him”, just accept he’s normal and save your money. tbh the odds of becoming a model are quite slim, the market is saturated, and many companies are taking advantage of your hopes and dreams.

forgoodnessake1:15 pm 14 Dec 11

I can understand the response you got on this site – but what people have to realise is – modelling is a job, including fro child actors/models. Regardless of how pure, good, holy or legitimate others think it is. I would be willing to bet there will ALWAYS be models child or otherwise for companies to sell their goods and services despite how horrible and exploitative people think it is.

There are talent management legitimate agencies and I would say good on the OP for trying to source one that was legitimate rather than going with any tom dick or harry who approaches her in the street with promises of making her kid a start for the sum of $5000. I would have to assume that not all of the agencies out there belong on today tonight… All those famous kid actors started somewhere… look at Megan Gale and Miranda Kerr. You can’t deny that talent now can you… well I can’t. Especially Miranda Kerr – but I digress…

Unfortunately I don’t know of any agencies. Sorry OP. But good luck. Hope your kid has what it takes and they get the support they need to keep them as down to earth as the Megans and Mirandas of this country.

I went to school (high school through to college) with a kid who was a “child model”. Kid has issues. Looking back now I see stem from the stress of having an overbearing parent who pushed their child (IMO) too far. They felt a lot of pressure to succeed and felt crushed when they did not live up to their parents overly high expectations of them. In her case I realise now that her mum was trying to fulfil her own dreams through that of their child.

Not saying you are like that OP but I think from my experience it seems to place a lot of angst and anxiety on the kid with little benefit to offset the cost. Not even just from the parents – modelling is a pretty ruthless industry in general even at that level. Perhaps this is why you’ve heard such negative things?

If it’s about boosting your kid’s confidence and giving them more social skills I suggest something like the Canberra Academy of Dramatic Art.

http://www.cada.net.au/Children–Ages-4-12-.html

Anyway – just my two cents.

Holden Caulfield1:05 pm 14 Dec 11

It never ceases to amaze me when someone posts something on RA, especially something that could be considered/misconstrued as self-centred, and then is surprised when they get criticised.

It’s even better when the OP clearly knows how the site works and still gets ticked off.

Seriously, with a topic like this, what on earth would you expect to be reading in the comments section?!

I’m just disappointed you didn’t say: “I’m considering registering my gifted kids…”

That would have increased the entertainment value.
