Name changer.
I am very new to all this and have zero performing talent - DD on the otherhand is quite good. Are there some agencies which are considered better/ more supportive than others?
I have done a fair bit of reading on the internet but they all seem to say that they are good.....
Is it better to go with one that also provides training?

Following as my daughter would like to get into "extras" roles rather than anything big. I have friends who get loads of "extras" roles (in quite big film and TV productions) although they're very ordinary unattractive middle-aged men whom I know through their day jobs 😂 and it's apparently quite lucrative as a side hustle.
They say that their agencies focus on adults and that I should look for childrens' agencies. Can anyone recommend any?

Try Sally King Agency for SA work for children. They seem to have a good rep with parents.
Only thing I would caution - SA work (extras) is not classed as acting, and if your DD did want to do acting then it can be detrimental to have on a cv, and can mean they would not be cast in certain productions.
A lot of agents won't allow clients to do SA work for that reason (plus they are then unavailable for acting jobs).

Has she taken Gd 8 with a reputable exam board? She won't have a developed voice at her age will she?

hi, I signed up to kidstalent.agency for my dd and now I’m panicking it’s not legitimate! Any advice? Thanks
