Child
Representation DO NOT CALL THE OFFICE
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 accouterments
of growing up are sometimes in demand. The key for us is not a certain
look, but proven talent.
