AboutKitty Kavey Expertise I can answer questions from those looking to get into the fashion or commercial modeling industry. Specifically, the requirements, what is needed, how to find an agent, what they look for, how to avoid scams, the difference between what a commercial model does, and a fashion model, would travel/relocation be required, what is on a comp card and in your portfolio.
Experience Both my acting and modeling resume/portfolio is available online on my website. I am a member of the Screen Actors Guild, and also have available my actor's demo reel and voice-over demo online. I founded both the Florida-Models.com and Florida-Actors.com websites, which provide free modeling and acting info to the public. I have moved into directing, producing and screenwriting - and have won awards for my writing. I have worked in the industry as both a model and actress in Florida, New York City and Los Angeles until October 2007. I now reside in Europe.
Question how do you adition for eastenders and modeling for kids 11+
Answer Generally, auditions for TV shows like EastEnders are open only through a talent agent. However, reality-style shows are open to the general public, and one does not need to be a professional actor to try out for those styles of television shows. A sample of shows looking for participants: http://www.bbc.co.uk/showsandtours/beonashow/
Modeling also is generally done through an agent too. Some agents represent both actors and models, some represent only one or the other. If your goal is to become a professional actor or model, locating agencies near you who represent the type of acting and/or modeling work you want to do would be the first step.
There are modeling agency directories that cover the UK, and may be available in your local bookstore, library or online. Many agencies also have websites that detail any agency criteria, as well as submission instructions for new faces/talent.
