Well, my wife recently entered our daughter Charm on ExploreTalent.com which is one of the largest and most recognized talent sites on the web. Take a look at Charm’s page which was free to setup over at Exporetalent.com.Needless to say we received a phone call from Exploretalent.com saying that Gap had expressed an interest in Charm. Holdup before you get all excited like we did, there seems to be one little problem. We have not completed the representation process which costs $199 annually and guarantees open call notices plus submissions. Not bad when you actually consider that it would take excessive manpower to research acting and modeling jobs daily for Charm.
ExploreTalent.com receives thousands of notices about job assignments that it would take us much too long to research and find.
Here are some of my recommendations:
1. Start sending high resolution (digital) photos to modeling agencies in your area first
2. Do establish an online presence on a legitimate website like ExploreTalent.com
3. Visit websites that post free auditions like Auditions.com and Model.net
It is not necessary to spend thousands of dollars on photos and if you get asked to do so by a talent agency it is time to walk. Start with a budget of what you plan to spend on photos like $250 - $600. Always keep in mind that there are more talent agency scams than legitimate companies. Many times they only want you to spend thousands of dollars on photos and offer no assignments in return.
Entering the baby modeling and child acting business is a process and you have to keep at it everyday. Best of luck!
