CHILD ACTOR LA AND THE DOS AND DON’T OF THE FILM/TV/COMMERCIAL INDUSTRY.

 

 

Child Actor LA is an Institute, in business for 19 years.

 

The institute allows for children to be trained by professional actors, along with top five to top thirty-five agents, who conduct week end workshops.

 

Those agents emulate the auditioning process and give the Child Actor skills, which they can use in front of casting. Those agents get to meet the children and families, and often offer representation to the Child Actor LA graduates, which is nice icing on the cake, as per the education provided by the Institute.

 

With Child Actor LA scam prevention tips on their Face Book page, warning the aspiring actor against potential scams, which they may get exposed to.

 

 

A school which tells you they’ll give you lists of agents to submit pictures of your child to, are fraudulent. Who will open your unsolicited submission? None of the agents from the agencies on that list will.

 

Also, a school which organizes little local plays, and don’t have agents on board, going in to conduct week end workshops, should not tell you that your child will have access to agents. The spin is, that a little play, performed on stage by children, could be fun, but there is no outlet to the children’s talent. Be careful what you sign up for. Getting your child in on something like that is an ongoing money pit, paying tuition to a school, which requires often, more “rehearsal money”, and more “costume money”, then more money for a “nice space”, rented at additional expenses for you, so your child can perform in front of ONLY you, and the other unsuspecting parents. 

 

At Child Actor LA, our children are Shakespearian trained and trained in modern improv’, and although they get invited at times to participate in summer camps, with performance and no surprise in cost, those are not the whole business for our school. The main education is based upon training towards being able to perform in the film. TV and commercial + print industry.

 

Finally, very alarming when someone tells you, you need to purchase classes and pictures from them and they are also an agency, and send your child to jobs. They are breaking the law.
