Child Representation
Child Representation
Acclaim represents young people between the ages of 5 and 15 years. We prefer children with some acting training. Just because a child is precocious and charming does not mean he or she is an actor. Repeating an action under hot lights in a strange setting with strange people is very different than entertaining family in the living room. If your child is particularly talented and has some experience please submit photos and a resume. If interested we will call for an appointment. We keep a file of promising children and sometimes contact their parents when a particular look is needed by a commercial project.
(A note about babies) Yes your baby is gorgeous! Everybody in the super market says so. At Acclaim we think all babies are beautiful. But please let them be babies. When a child reaches five and shows their own interest in performing get them into some plays or classes.
Parents frequently contact Acclaim wanting representation for their young children before their children have even learned to walk and talk! Let your really young children grow up. Submit photos after they have starred in the school play. Be patient. We will be here for them when they get to the age when they enjoy performing.
And of course Acclaim is interested in all looks. Sometimes it is easier to get auditions for children that are not stereotypically beautiful, but who have interesting character. Glasses, braces and other accoutrements of growing up are sometimes in demand. The key for us is not a certain look, but proven talent.
