You never know when you're going to get the phone call
informing you that your child has an audition but when it does come you want to
be prepared. It’s not unusual in the industry to only get one or two days’
notice for an upcoming audition so the time to start practising is now! There
are things you can do with your child that might help give them the edge they
need to land the job.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Castings – Photo shoots<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At a casting for a photo shoot your child will most likely be
asked to try on some clothes and pose while having their photo taken. They
might be given some direction on how to do this or they may just be asked to
stand there while the photo is taken. The more relaxed and natural they look
the better! A good way to practice this is by having a pretend casting session
at home, have your child try on some different clothes and pose for you while
you take the photos.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For inspiration you could also look at some models of a similar
age in catalogues and have your child try out the poses they see there, but
encourage them to be natural and do what they feel comfortable with. You might
also give them directions to see if they can follow your instructions.
Afterwards, you can look at the photos together and decide which ones look best
and they can continue working on these poses. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You can also talk them through
what they can expect on the day, and if you are unsure your agent is always there
to have a chat. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Castings - Television
Commercials (TVCs)<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When it comes to television commercial castings there are a
couple of areas you can focus on. Firstly, your child will usually have to
introduce them self and say their name, age and agent while looking into the
camera. You can practice this at home and watch it back, being comfortable and
natural is what you are aiming for here, as well as showing a bit of
personality. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Next, your child may be asked to improvise a short scenario based
on the kind of thing they would be expected to do in the commercial and possibly
say a line if the job requires it. You could watch some commercials on
television or YouTube and act out some small scenarios to practice their acting
skills. It could be as simple as opening a box and being excited when they see
what is in there or telling them to pretend to call their nana and ask for a
toy they really want. Another helpful exercise is to give them an emotion and
ask them to act it out, for example happy, sad, surprised or angry. You could
also give them a line and ask them to repeat it using these different emotions.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You can also work on a ‘chat to camera’. This is a short
video in which the child looks into the camera and tells the ‘audience’ a bit
about themselves, sometimes telling a story or talking about their past
experience. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The final thing you might want to practice is a confident
greeting and farewell from your child when meeting new people. Looking people
in the eye and saying hello, thank you and goodbye are the kinds of things that
will leave a great impression and help them later in life.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hopefully now you're armed with some tools and tricks to
help your child through their first audition and hopefully that phone will be
ringing with some amazing opportunities soon! <o:p></o:p></div>

<span class="s1">I had an amazing time, the highlights were having an outfit especially for me, I had my own box with my name and number on it. There were many people fussing over us in costume and make up. Our make up included covering our bodies and heads in clay - we needed to shave my head bald. We needed to listen to all the instructions from the lady in charge.</span></div>
<div class="p3">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">We then went into the set which was a big warehouse with cameras and lights everywhere, it was interesting because the background was green and we had to pretend it was a desert and waterfall.

<span class="s1">I had a really good time onset for Fury Road. I was a 'war pup' which was a young member of the army. I had my makeup done and I looked pretty scary. The set looked really good and after about 5 attempts of everyone getting into place, we listened to a speech given by the leader of the army. </span></div>

<b>Part 2: On the Job!</b></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1">So the day on set has finally arrived, no doubt you are feeling excited, but maybe a little nervous! Here are a few tips to get you through the nerves and into feeling confident and ready to tackle your first job.</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1">You should plan to arrive approximately 10-15 minutes before your call time and find the contact person as listed for you on the call sheet or booking confirmation. Occasionally the production can be running behind schedule and you could be asked to wait. This is when the colouring books or iPad's come in handy! Other times the production crew will be ready and waiting for you and your child.</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1">There are usually lots of people on set who keep production going behind the scenes and they are usually set-up in separate trailers a short distance away from the actual set so not to interrupt any filming in progress with noise or movement. </span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1">You will be introduced to the location nurse who is there to look after the wellbeing of underage talent by making sure they are safe, taking breaks at allocated times and have something to eat and drink. Your contact person will also make sure that someone from the ‘Wardrobe’ or ‘Costume’ department knows that you have arrived. They will either choose from the outfits you brought by request or have items ready to try on. Parents can help their child get dressed if necessary. On some shoots, children might also be required to go through ‘Hair and Make-up’. In general minimal make-up will be applied and sometimes none at all for children.</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1">Soon it will be time to make your way to the actual set for filming. With younger children, parents are always allowed to stay close by or within sight, but it is important to be aware of your surroundings and not get in anyones way. </span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1">Here are a few general rules when on set:</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<br />
<ul>
<li><span class="s1">Make sure you turn your phone </span><span class="s2">off</span><span class="s1">! </span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<br />
<ul>
<li>Do not talk or move around once the director calls ACTION until after they have called CUT.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<br />
<ul>
<li>Do not try and tell your child what to do from the sidelines. Let the director (or whoever is working with them) direct your child.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1">If you do have any questions or concerns, speak to the person who has been assigned to look after you and your child on set.</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1">Your child may film everything that is required for the day in one go or there might be a few breaks when you will be looking after them and need to keep them occupied. Snacks are often supplied and if filming has been scheduled over a meal time then you might both sit down with cast and crew and enjoy the Catering on location.</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1">When your child has finished work (often referred to as being ‘wrapped’) the crew person in charge will let you know and you will need to sign out for the day. Take note of the time you have finished so you can let our casting department know. </span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1">Once you have been told you can leave, collect all of your belongings and be sure to thank the crew and the people who have looked after you.</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><i>Here are a few additional tips:</i></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><i>Be positive! It’s nice for the crew to have someone around who is happy, easy going and helps make the day run smoothly, and they may be more likely to ask you and your child back for future projects.</i></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><i>Try to stay away from gossip about agents/money/other people in the industry. This can reflect badly on yourself, your child or your agency. </i></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><i>Try not to bring any extra siblings or family members on set.</i></span></div>

Congratulations! Your child has finally gotten a job and now you need to know everything about your day on set so that it can be a wonderful experience for both of you.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #504e4b; font-family: open_sansregular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Your agent will have confirmed the job and sent you a CALL SHEET as soon as it is available to them. Some productions are very busy and cannot confirm the details until late on the day before you are required on set, but be assured that your agent will send you the necessary information as soon as they receive it.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #504e4b; font-family: open_sansregular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;">

The most important details for you to take note of are;</div>

<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">your CALL TIME (the time you are required on set)</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">the exact LOCATION that you need to be at (sometimes this is a building address, but it could be a park or other public place)</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">the CONTACT PERSON you are required to meet on the day (eg. in the case of extras for a television show this would be the name and phone number of the 3<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 11.25px; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;">rd</span> AD). You will also be given details of anything you are required to bring with you and how long you are expected to be needed for.</li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #504e4b; font-family: open_sansregular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;">

Research the location you are required to be at before you have to leave home. Sometimes the call sheet will provide you with instructions regarding parking and other times you will need to figure it out yourself.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #504e4b; font-family: open_sansregular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;">

Productions are busy and very costly, so it is important that you arrive at the time you have been called for so not to delay the shoot time or halt production. Arriving 10-15 minutes early is appreciated, but do not show up any earlier than this. If you arrive too early at location, take the time to relax rather than turning up and risking being in the way before production is ready for you.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #504e4b; font-family: open_sansregular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;">

Spending time with your child onset can be a great experience, but arriving unprepared can add a lot of the wrong type of drama to the day. Make sure you have any paperwork or items you have been asked to bring, but don’t take it personally if they don’t use it on the day. It happens often that they ask for items or information, just to change what they originally planned on the day and not ask for it or use it at all.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #504e4b; font-family: open_sansregular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #504e4b; font-family: open_sansregular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Depending on the job, clothes will be provided while you may be asked to supply your own outfits at other times. If you are required to bring clothes the wardrobe department will inform you of what is needed; often simple things like jeans, t-shirts and runners. In general, choose items that do not have any visible branding and bring a few options of each. Bright colours are often appreciated, unless told otherwise and avoid stripes as these can often bleed together and not look good on camera. Bring as many options as you think will be helpful and remember you can ask our casting department if you are uncertain about anything!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #504e4b; font-family: open_sansregular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;">

Taking some snacks with you can also save the day. The break times for meals on set can vary a lot from your usual times so have something handy to keep your child (and you!) functioning if that is the case. Catering on sets can be amazing and might be one of the highlights of your day, but it is not guaranteed that your child will like what is provided. Some productions regularly cater for children and may have an array of choices for them while others are used to looking after their adult actors and crew and may not have the things your child prefers to eat.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #504e4b; font-family: open_sansregular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;">

It is also a good idea to take toys or games to keep your child occupied, as you could be required to wait for extended periods of time before or during filming. The idea is to provide them with enough stimulation to keep them occupied, but ready to work when they are called on set.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #504e4b; font-family: open_sansregular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;">

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Talent often work to set hours, ensuring their wellbeing is taken care of at all times. For example, in the state of Victoria children working in TV and Film under the age of 3 can only work a maximum of 4 hours per day. Breaks are also given at regular intervals to ensure stars don't over do it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. If talent are selected to work on a TV series, Film or project for an extended period of times tutors will be hired to teach on set so their learning never stops! So sorry kids, no getting out of school :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. The principal may have to approve talent's absence from school so kids can go be stars! This ensures they know what the kids are up to during school hours and can ensures their schooling is always a top priority.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. If talent live far away or are under a particular age travel time to the location will be taken into consideration. This ensures talent will be booked into hotels so they can wake up fresh and ready to go for the next day!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5. For younger talent, employers will try to schedule shots around their sleep times, and often a nurse will be present on set to assist with younger children. So, as a parent support is always within hands reach for you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lights, camera, safety! It's all about creating a safe, supportive and positive working experience for children in the entertainment industry.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Adding video to your child’s profile gives a client additional insight into your child’s personality and features whilst displaying their confidence in front of the camera. It is an added feature that can help to your child's future career possibilities. </span><br />

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A chat to camera is a short introduction of your child speaking directly to the camera introducing themselves.</span></span><br />
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Clients are often requesting from our casting department chats to camera to grasp a better understand of the talent they are considering for a campaign. To already have a chat to camera uploaded to your child's AT2 profile is greatly beneficial and will greater the likelihood of your child being booked for a job. </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A chat to camera is great practice for your child. The more they practice being in front of the camera and getting comfortable with speaking about themselves the better. Clients will often request this at a casting or audition. We recommend playing the footage back to your child will help them to learn how they appear and sound on camera, if they need to project their voice more or hold more eye contact with the camera etc. </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">No need to worry if you don’t have a video camera on hand, it is quite ok to film using a smart phone. Just ensure that the lighting is adequate and that the child’s face and features are clearly visible.</span></span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tell us a little bit about yourself; hobbies, favourite movie, do you have any pets. Anything that feels natural for your child. </span></span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How to achieve a great chat to camera:</span></b></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Shoot the audition in a medium close up (meaning a shot from mid chest up).</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Film your chat to camera on a plain background and ensure the actor is clearly visible.</span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Be wary of background noises while making sure you are clearly audible. Even the slightest background noise such as muffling or distant voices can detract from the audition. </span></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Having a clear natural voice projection is key! Get your child to talk to the camera as if they are talking to you, a normal voice tone and volume.</span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ensure that you play back the chat to camera before uploading to check that you can clearly see and hear your child.</span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">No need to remove existing videos on your child’s AT2 profile as it allows your child’s profile to have more than one video present on their profile at any one time just as long as they don't total more than 5 minutes in total. </span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Clients often request up to date images of our talent so they can be considered for a potential job or casting. These images need to be up to date, natural and taken within the past week so</span> the client has an accurate representation of the child in the present moment. These images are a key element in
your child’s success. First
impressions are everything so it is vital you send our casting manager
appropriate images to send to potential clients.<br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US"><i><b>What type of shot do they require?</b></i></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span>
Our casting manager will request ONE head shot and ONE full body shot for the client. But what is a full body and head shot?<br />
<ul>
<li>Full Body Shot: a photograph that shows a person from head to toe. </li>
</ul>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Head Shot: a photograph of a person's head and shoulders.<span style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We don’t need you to be a professional photographer but we do need you to meet these following requirements when taking pictures on your smartphone;<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Checklist</u></b></div>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Keep the
background of the image as plain as you can; e.g white wall/neutral colours, avoid busy backgrounds</li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">Ensure no other faces or people are in the shot</span></li>
<li>Natural and
even lighting is key. Ensure there are no shadows on the child’s face or body.
The client wants to see your child the best they can!</li>
<li>No filters are to be added to the final shot</li>
<li>Photo must be taken front on only</li>
<li>Ensure the camera is level - no tilted angles</li>
<li>No eating or drinking in shot. The little ones often have accidents and dirty clothing cannot be helped but we cannot stress enough the importance of a clean face in the shot</li>
<li>Hair down but off the child's face</li>
<li>No hair accessories</li>
<li>No dummies in the child's mouth</li>
<li>Only send 3 photos max, time is of the essence! Pick your top 2 and send them. The quicker you send them to the casting manager the quicker they can be put forward to the client</li>
<li>Ensure the topic of your email is the child's full name. Labeling your photos correctly quickens the process</li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">We
understand the challenges of getting children to stay still but it is vital
that you keep your child as still as possible for the shot so the image is not
blurred or the child is not positioned at an awkward angle. The main focus of the shot is the child’s face and body so it is crucial that the client has a clear and front on view.</span></div>

Hello long weekend and of course Happy Birthday Queen Elizabeth! We must not forget the reason why we have this well-deserved and need extra day off. How many of you knew that Queen Elizabeth’s actual birthday is on
April the 21<sup>st</sup>? And what the Queen actually does? Well we asked our very cute and very knowledgeable
members on what they think about the Queen and her birthday. </div>

Freddie was also lucky enough to meet Prince William and Princess Kate on their visit to Sydney earlier this year. Freddie sings in the St Andrew's Cathedral choir where Kate visited and said to Freddie that she 'had her eye on you all through the service. You were wonderful!' Freddie did comment that even though Kate was lovely he wishes he had of met Prince William. We love that he's not like everyone else who would jump at chance to meet Kate. </div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">Ever wondered
how TV and movie directors ensure their child stars settle in to film on cue?
Well the truth is, there usually isn’t one baby playing the role. Our twins
Griffyn and Nedrick know the industry tactics</span><span lang="EN-US"> </span><span lang="EN-US">first-hand. The identical dynamic duo
has just wrapped up filming the third and latest season of Channel Nine’s House
Husbands. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">House
Husbands is a warm, fuzzy and amusing take on the everyday lives of four modern
families, focusing on the one thing they all have in common, men! House
Husbands has had two successful seasons with the third soon to be aired on our
televisions. <i><o:p></o:p></i></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Why do they
need two babies for one character? Simply because children are unpredictable, their
temperament can change depending on time of day etc. It is also by law in
Victoria that a child under 3 years of age can only work for 4 hours a day, meaning the director can
achieve more in the short time limit. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The bubbly,
loud and happy boys have made us proud at Bettina for their recent work with
House Husbands. Mum Kristy shared with
us that the boys love to play with their cars and trains and often had challenging
times on the set, but also had many rewarding moments too. Who wouldn't have a
shy moment when you’re in the spotlight?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

you to the boys’ parents for making it all possible, our fingers are crossed
for further opportunities for them both.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have questions about the child modelling industry? </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are 5 common industry myths exposed!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>1. Only blonde haired and blue eyed children get work:</b> This is untrue. Most clients value confidence, diversity and character faces above all else. Interaction with the camera and the client is key, after all, they want to see a child who shines on screen and in print!</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>2. </b><b>Babies don't get work: </b>At first glance, it's hard to imagine what babies might actually DO for modelling work, but if you turn on a TV or open a catalogue you will see beautiful bubs scattered everywhere! They are often used on TV series for shows like Offspring and House Husbands and for brands like Huggies, Bonds, Target, Myer, David Jones and lots more.<b> </b></span></div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYSDnYPeeJExh8-Pmzc2GKcYNG-fbqdxrqi3f5UfmA_KqlrwcC7pvGfuoqVMYYlTfzaDzAPb8h5fCmpnhDk8FMFJHMtYU1Eit-YtgOocIDgvkT6shGV62HVOu_4F5feOlw6fdJiDRZiNo/s1600/13_11_23_Bettina+Campaign+7274.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></a><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>3. Children must have acting or modelling experience to get work:</b> False, clients rarely expect children under 12 to have experience. Of course, it helps to have a brief introduction to modelling or acting if possible as this may set you apart in the casting or audition. For demanding acting roles, some clients approach acting schools to book talent.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>4. </b><b>Clients choose the same children repeatedly:</b> This may be true for a handful of talent but this will only last for a few weeks or months if a child is doing a particularly great job! Remember, children change clothing size, grow or lose teeth so clients are <i>constantly</i> on the hunt for new talent to fill the varied and diverse roles they receive. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>5. Children are expected to wear make-up: </b>It's a common misconception that all jobs will be very glamorous and require lots of hair and make up. This is very far from the truth - clients want children to look like children, natural and fresh faced. It is all about having fun. If the child is having fun in the shoot, this will show in the final product. Older teens can wear a dab of lip gloss and a touch of foundation if the client agrees or has special requirements. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Of course, the best thing to do is contact the agency whenever in doubt about any aspect of the industry or what is expected of you! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now it's time for the financial terms - we have a few to keep it short and sweet - that define commonly used terms after your child has a job and is awaiting payment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Tax-free threshold - </i>The tax-free threshold has recently changed to $18,200. This means that children do not need to pay tax unless they earn over $18,200 per year (wouldn't that be great!). </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Hourly rate - </i>An hourly rate is an agreed amount where you will be paid per hour for the work that you do. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Fixed rate - </i>A fixed rate is a set amount agreed upon for a booking (unlike the hourly rate). </span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i>
<i style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Loadings - </i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Loadings are paid in addition to the hourly or fixed rate. Loadings are usually unpredictable and we will only hear of these extra payments after the campaign or advertisement has launched, sometimes weeks after, sometimes months. This payment amount varies pending on where the images are displayed or where the ad is circulated. Generally, loadings come into play when the shots are used across different forms of media such as online, billboards or posters which wasn't the original intention for the campaign. </span><br />
<div>
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Commission</i> - Commission is the amount of money deducted from paid jobs. This amount varies according to the type of job you did, how much you got paid, and how long you worked for. For example, jobs on a small scale like extra's work, will only get 10-15% deducted for commission. However large jobs that earn the big bucks, such as TV commercials may be higher at 20% commission. Whenever you do a job, you will be sent the gross total amount of payment for the job (amount before commission deducted) along with the amount that has been taken out, so you can see the full figure. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We encourage members to ask questions about aspects of the industry they feel unsure about so we are all on the same page, so remember you can give us a call or email on 1300 888 611 or info@bettina.com.au</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Do you remember Tom Morgan's explosive dream-come-true last year? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Just a few weeks ago, at
the tender age of 16, Tom set off to Hollywood to take part in a week long intensive course under the guidance of industry professionals in Los Angeles. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">We spoke with Tom in September last year (you can read the interview <a href="http://bettinamanagement.blogspot.com.au/2013/09/tom-morgan-wins-trip-to-hollywood.html">here</a>), after finding out that he had won an all expenses paid trip to take part in the Hollywood Immersive course courtesy of <i>Bettina Management</i>, <i>Kids in Showbiz </i>and <i>Hollywood Immersive. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the interview, Tom shared his indescribable excitement at being offered the chance of a lifetime, and now with the trip complete, we asked him to share stories on his recent adventure and path for the future. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There were tonnes of highlights, but my favourite part would probably have to be meeting Cindy Brady from <i>The Brady Bunch (</i>pictured on the right) and learning what she had to say about acting and the acting industry. I also enjoyed filming my showreel on set at a park in Beverly Hills and also the ‘showcase’ on the last day where we performed in front of a few industry professionals.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>What were the major things you took away from the course?<i> </i></b></span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That I needed to speak louder and clearer and stand still when I am performing. At the end of the course I found that I am now a much more confident person and speak louder in general conversations with people. This course does not just improve your acting skills it also improves your speaking skills and public speaking skills, which is also an important part of acting, especially if you want to win an Oscar.</span></div>

I am absolutely in love with Hollywood, it is surprisingly a lot more different than Melbourne and Australia and I would love to go to Hollywood again just for a holiday, so that I could see the landmarks like the Hollywood sign, Walk of Fame, Paramount Studios, Sunset Boulevard, etc.</span></div>

you give us a brief idea of what a typical day was like? </b></span></span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">A typical day would
consist of waking up at about seven o’clock to do exercise then having a quick
shower, getting dressed and going to an acting studio to do acting classes
from about ten till five. We were taught by Andrew Schaifer who has
appeared in movies such as</span><i style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"> The Wedding Singer</i><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"> and </span><i style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Deuce Bigalow</i><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"> and is also a

looking to keep on going with my acting classes and audition for jobs and
acting roles frequently in the hope that I will land a role in a movie or T.V.
series.</span></div>

inspiration on the journey?<i> </i></b></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">The SAG’s (Screen
Actors Guild Awards) were on at the same time that I was in Hollywood and
watching them and their acceptance speeches inspired me a lot. An acceptance
speech that really inspired me was the acceptance speech of Bryan Cranston. It</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"> reminded me never to give up and made me realise that the good times will come</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">: </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

Congratulations!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<i style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Brief - </i><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A brief is a notice the casting department receives from a client. The brief is an outline of roles the client are looking to cast. This is how we know who to put forward, e.g. 4 year old girls or 10 year old boys of Asian descent. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Call-sheet - </i>A call-sheet will be sent to talent the day before a job, usually for film and TV. It is generally sent late in the afternoon and it will have all the details about where talent need to be, what time and what scenes need to be shot on the day. </span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Call-time -</i> A call-time is what is found on the call-sheet. It will have talent name, role, agent and what time talent will be required. </span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i>
<i style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cancellation</i><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> - Unfortunately the client, for a variety of reasons, is no longer is able or willing to proceed with the scheduled booking or shoot. </span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i>
<i style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Casting call</i><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> - This means talent have been confirmed to attend a casting (meet and greet) with one of our clients to check suitability for a role they have in mind. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Chat to camera</i> - Usually popular in an audition for TV or film work, the client will ask talent to speak directly to the camera either saying a few lines or an introduction. This gives the client a good idea about confidence and speaking ability on film. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<i style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Checking availability - </i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Checking availability means that a client is interested in a child, but has not confirmed them for a job. In order to start organising the schedule, they often check to see if potential talent are available on the shoot dates.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Client - </i> A person or organisation using the services of Bettina Management to book talent, e.g. Target.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Fitting - </i>A fitting is a paid job where a client requests a model to try on various outfits who meets specific sizing requirements. </span><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Show reel</i> - Advanced artists usually have a show reel to 'showcase' their previous TV commercials and work they have featured in. They collate all the work together to put into one short video so a client can quickly see them acting in different scenarios. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Member </i>- A member is a person who is signed with Bettina Management for representation. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>On hold</i> - On hold for a shoot or booking means that a child has been shortlisted for the role, and must be available - if required - for the shoot dates. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><i style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Self-test</i><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> - A self-test is an audition filmed from home. This must be sent to us so we can pass onto the client. All relevant details would be supplied. </span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Wardrobe call - </i>A wardrobe call is generally for film and TV. This is when you are called in to try on outfits and costumes before shooting or filming. You are paid for a wardrobe call. </span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i>
<i style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Weather check - </i><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you are booked for a job, a client may let us know that the shoot is booked *weather permitting*. This means that the shoot will be outdoors, and they will need to check closer to the date to ensure the weather is suitable. If it isn't - the shoot will be rescheduled. </span>Bettina Managementhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03638747445409308650noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4772962673386667081.post-37657682586876273592014-02-05T16:12:00.000+11:002014-02-10T16:53:21.605+11:00Different Types of Castings <div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In an effort to make the casting department and types of castings more transparent, here are some examples and definitions of different types of castings that your child could be asked to attend by a client. </span><br />
<br />
<i style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">General Casting: </i><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A general casting is often the most common. This is a casting where the client selects the children they would like to meet specifically by name. The scheduled times are booked prior and talent usually have about 5 minutes with the client. During this time, the client will take a quick snapshot of the child, follow by polite greetings (age depending). </span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Open Casting: </i></span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ3v3vcZG9rYurVSHkpNiUSpDaJRQMYrO_81ahd6zGlHW6hvbG3hSFdYuwUsylfEDwcqqGfOYWxhGDirzYZVPfs8Plwt4ggnleTjBU-CBVCB_EPUwlO1SAFagiGPUlYK9LFn71I_2iVvs/s1600/open+casting+call.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ3v3vcZG9rYurVSHkpNiUSpDaJRQMYrO_81ahd6zGlHW6hvbG3hSFdYuwUsylfEDwcqqGfOYWxhGDirzYZVPfs8Plwt4ggnleTjBU-CBVCB_EPUwlO1SAFagiGPUlYK9LFn71I_2iVvs/s1600/open+casting+call.jpg" height="200" style="cursor: move;" width="200" /></a><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Many of you may have seen our Facebook open casting calls. These call outs to our audience search for children in our online networks who are outside of our age brackets. For instance, from time to time, we receive requests for newborns or unique requests such as grandmothers who can juggle. When we can't fill the brief ourselves, we put it out to our Bettina community to try and assist our client as best as possible, while giving others an exciting opportunity. You can learn more about Facebook open casting calls <a href="http://bettinamanagement.blogspot.com.au/2013/07/open-casting-calls-on-facebook.html">here</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. There is also another type of open casting calls which are sometimes open to the public. There is usually an 'open window' of time in which talent can attend and meet with the client, however there is often long waiting time because the clients likely have not selected children by name so they can get very busy. On these occasions, we do try to weigh up the realistic benefit of you attending, although we ultimately leave the final decision up to you. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Audition: </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">An audition is more of a complex casting that requires preparation before you attend. This means that the castings generally last longer, because talent will either have to learn a few lines or chat to camera so the director or client can gauge how the talent interacts and appears on camera, and possibly with other members of the cast. Although sometimes, we don't receive anything - and this is most likely because the client will want your child to improvise when they arrive. In the case of us receiving audition prep, we will ensure you have all of the relevant scripts prior to your audition so you have ample time to practice!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Self-test audition: </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A self-test audition is when talent film their audition from home and send it to us. This form of auditioning is growing with popularity as it saves time and resources. You can get some tips from this post <a href="http://bettinamanagement.blogspot.com.au/2013/11/self-test-audition-help.html">here</a>. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Recently we have had a few requests for talent to record<i> </i>their audition for us to send to the clients. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVxZjOPQUFcEqSkHpDO7bDHqWURXMiBh3MDCck6qMLTfapL2WBhjjMVhPnXTo2cs9IDhfaKZ-aeUv-KYSDQFGOqUXRpx0raSCw5r0a8F_JSY9IwPyW57fRvaBTvRhqUUwz84yog2nEOaw/s1600/liam+self+tape.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></a><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a growing request, particularly with the expansion of easy to use technologies. These requests have also been popular in states such as Western Australia and Queensland as cities are relatively more dispersed and driving time to a casting can take longer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To ensure all of our talent have the best opportunity possible when requested to send a self-test audition tape, we have compiled a list of essential tips. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Film your audition on a plain background and ensure the actor is clearly visible. </span><br />

Get a family member or friend involved to read the other part of the script- they don't have to be a good actor, even if they simply say the words on the script it will bring the audition to life. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Be wary of background noises while making sure you are clearly audible. Even the slightest background noise such as muffling or distant voices can detract from the audition. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. File must be in appropriate format: .mov .mp4 .m4v - you can convert a file to mp4 <a href="http://video.online-convert.com/convert-to-mp4">here</a> simply by uploading your video. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5. Label your file - most casting directors will alert us to how they would like the file to be named, but if they don't, ensure it is labelled with Name_Project_Role. A file named '12345audition.mp4' has the capacity to get lost or to be discarded. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">6. Shoot the audition in a medium close up, which means a shot from the actors shoulders up, followed by a long shot at the end where the actor must state their name, age and height to the camera. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">7. Upload to a free video sharing site like Vimeo or Hightail. You can find easy to use instructions for these sites <a href="http://vimeo.com/help/basics">here</a> and <a href="http://learn.hightail.com/">here</a>. Then all you have to do is send us the link and cross your fingers!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The above points are a guide, remember we are here to offer advice and further tips during business hours if your child is requested to cast for a self-test audition. The casting director will also have specific requirements relevant to their processes which will need to be adhered to, these will be sent to you with your audition request!</span>Bettina Managementhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03638747445409308650noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4772962673386667081.post-43061288913286129582013-11-01T17:09:00.000+11:002013-12-11T11:42:42.737+11:006 Key Casting Attire Tips <span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In a previous post, <a href="http://bettinamanagement.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/first-casting-jitters.html">'First Casting Jitters'</a> we guided you through overcoming nerves for your first casting. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We want to recap on the most important tips regarding a casting and appropriate clothing, whether it's your first or not! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Bright colours - Bright colours are a must. Most casting agencies will want to take a photo of your child against a white wall. You want the photo to stand out, not blend in!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Clean shoes - Never underestimate the importance of clean shoes! Simply giving them a quick scrub over or wipe before a casting makes all the difference in your child's overall presentation... and it only takes a few minutes! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Brand appropriate - Think of the brand you are going to cast for (if known) and try to dress your child in similar attire depending on the genre, e.g. sporty, high fashion, casual, professional. This will give the client a clearer image of what your child would look like in the campaign or advertisement. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. Age appropriate - It is essential to ensure your child is dressed to an age appropriate standard. This means no inappropriate language on clothing and for girls 14 and under: no make-up, excessive jewellery or high heels. Clients always want talent to be natural. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5. Comfort - Don't dress your child in anything that they may feel uncomfortable wearing, this will minimise their ability to speak easily and they may not feel relaxed during the casting. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">6. School Uniform - Many castings occur after school hours, but we encourage parents to take a spare outfit to put on before the casting. There can be occasions where children are required to wear school uniform, generally if the casting is for a Government or School campaign - however you will be notified by us if this is necessary. Put simply, if we don't mention anything about school uniform - don't wear it! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Members in Sydney, Brisbane and Perth receieve a modelling and acting class with their membership to ensure they are taught the basic skills required for photo shoots and castings. It's also a beneficial opportunity to gauge member's abilities while interacting with other children. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Perth Modelling teacher and talent scout Gloria, says that her favourite part of the class is the fashion parade at the end. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'To see the transformation and the look on the kids faces, the difference in the posture, and their confidence.. to me, is very satisfying.'</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Children are taught Modelling 101 from stance, posture, gestures, walk, footing, turns to an array of poses and facial expression techniques. While scrubbing up on these essentials are crucial to display confidence in a casting, they are also skills that can be practiced at home and shared with friends. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gloria says<i> </i>the children 'come in shy and walk out with excitement and new friends, the parents love the fashion parade - it shows how much their child has learnt.' </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With a teacher and assistant present, stand out performances and unique skills are noted and passed over to the casting department to assist with the casting process. It's also a great way for us to meet with members and parents again to discuss new developments or extra-curricular activities. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you are a member and have not yet booked in for your complimentary class, please do so by emailing amg@bettina.com.au or calling us on 1300 888 611. </span><br />
