Online Children's Modeling and Acting Agencies

Getting Your Child Started in Modeling

Emma Salk
Every parent thinks their children are the cutest ever, but whether you do or not, there are many places that are interested in meeting your child anyway. If your child can sing, dance, act or just wants to model, get him started by contacting one of these reputable modeling agencies.

Bizzy Kids is an agency based in London. Their clientele has included companies like Adidas, BBC Television, Dora the Explorer, Harrods, Mastercard, Pampers, Princess Productions and many more. The company does not charge annual registration fees or interview fees. Children need not have a portfolio to be considered, either. Look around at www.bizzykidz.com

At My Modeling Agency you'll find lists of modeling agencies in your own area for children or adults. There's info for acting, baby modeling, fashion modeling, fitness modeling, lingerie modeling, and more. Find info on which agencies are accepting what ages, etc. www.mymodelingagency.com

New Faces is an agency started by a professional model. They'll help you put together a portfolio and get listed on casting call lists. They've helped launched the careers of thousands of children, teens, pre-teens, and adults. The hopeful model is contacted directly by the casting agents at places like GAP, Covergirl, Levi, Revlon, and other famous names. Read more at www.newfaces.com

Minx Models is a popular site where those looking for models can search for the perfect one for their needs. Models from their sites have appeared in magazines like Vogue, Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Teen Vogue and Fitness. They boast clients like Giorgio Armani, Versace, Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Prada, and Calvin Klein. Although they don't require you to pay fees, they do take a percentage of every job you're hired for, as long as you're hired through their site. Find out more about this agency: www.minxmodels.com

Whether it's a child, a teen or an adult wanting to model, you'll find plenty of resources at www.julietadams.co.uk Although located oversees, they do service America as well. They are a full service agency for actors, fashion modeling, dancers, plus size models, and anyone wanting to break into the business.

Many places promise big results for those wanting to break into modeling, and for some, they invest money and never see any results. Thoroughly check any agency before signing up and paying any fees. Check the BBB, run an online search for satisfied customers - do your homework. There are many reputable places and perhaps you, or your child, will become one of the lucky ones that does succeed in the business.

  • Do your homework before deciding on a particular modeling agency.
  • Many modeling agencies are on the up-and-up but some are crooks, out to get your money.
  • High fees usually means a company is more interested in making money for themselves than you.
Some of the most famous models were located at a rinky-dink modeling agency.

    Hey im Amber and im 15. I've always wanted to become a model or actor which is so many peoples dream. Most people dont get it its not all about your looks their are millions of people who want to do this because their pretty. People come up to me and tell me you are so beautiful, you look like someone off of tv, or just different things! I don't let it get to my head though I want to do this because i have this passion for it and its like I would do whatever it takes! Anyways I hope just one day I will make it!!

    My name is Natalie, and I have been interested in modeling all my life. I am 12 years old, but I have knowledge and experience in this particular industry. I have runway, print, and commercial abilities. I also act and sing, but pursuing modeling speaks loudest to me.
    I appreciate you taking your time to consider me for your model, and I hope you have a great day!
