Sydney Agents
Thu, 6 Oct 2005, 08:51 amI promise this won't be another space-wasting post about how I'm a brilliantly talented 14-yr-old who wants a part in a movie. I am 14, though, and am looking to get an agent, for musical theatre in particular. I wanted to know whether the regular agents, who represent adults, would sign a teenager. I look older than I am and probably could not play a 14-yr-old if I tried, and if possible, would rather be represented by an agent that could get me work in the late teen age-bracket. I've researched the children's agents and they mainly seem to have the motto "we'll take all your money and put your kid in a commercial, but only if they're 10 and cute," of which I am neither. Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Re: Sydney Agents
Get as involved as you can in theatre production, ameture ones! And you'll start to hang with the right crowd, who know you and know your talents.
Agents aren't going to take you too seriously at this age (believe me i know!). Get as much experience behind you as possible and see what happens!
Chooka's darling!
Don't give up!

Re: Sydney Agents
Let me rephrase the question a bit.
Is an ordinary agent (i.e. one that doesn't specify children in it's representaiton) legally allowed to sign someone under 18?
Thanks.

Re: Sydney Agents
I am also in this situation, and am intrigued as to find an answer for LazyStageBabe's question. I am taking Panacea's advice and am going to try out for an amateur production, although I would love to know whether I am forced to get a children's agent or whether I can get a normal agent. (not that children's agents aren't normal)
