A showreel gives casting directors and agents a clear, professional snapshot of your child’s on-camera presence. It can boost self-tape requests, build confidence, and help them grow as performers.

Yes, but only if their agent has recommended they have one — for casting purposes, reels aren’t expected before the age of 10 or so, as children change quickly.

But I have made some for parents that have chosen to create one as a keepsake or an exercise in working with a professional director — I've even done them for Birthday and Christmas presents. (But I won't wear red, make animal balloons, or sing... :^))

Yes, selectively. While I can't travel long distances for individual showreels, I frequently schedule shoots in other UK regions like Manchester and the Midlands.

This is possible through:

• Group Bookings: A minimum of 4 actors booking a session in the same location.

• Agency Days: Collaborating directly with an agency to film their roster.

• Industry Days: Organised events for multiple actors.

If you're based outside the South East, please enquire. I maintain a list of interested actors by region and can coordinate a shoot when there is sufficient demand.

Because of their age, I don't see the need for the two scene package. One is enough. If you do want to go with having another casting type on their casting platform profile, then one scene and the monologue package is what I'd recommend. If we film the two on the same day, I'll give you 50% discount on the monologue price.

No - better than that, after an initial zoom chat, I'll write a bespoke script. Designed to really capture their personality and by default, their casting types.

Look at my reels compared to any other Showreel company, I really capture their sense of fun. casting want to see children.. being children.

I'll make it fun and relaxed. I guide young actors gently through their scene, making sure they feel comfortable and in control. I follow Equity and Film industry guidelines regarding working with children. So we take breaks, and I'm mindful of tiredness.

I can guarantee it'll be fun. I'm always the biggest kid in the room.

Absolutely. You're welcome to stay and support quietly from the side-lines.

Some children prefer to have space — either way, it's totally up to you and them.

I'm a registered Chaperone, have three children myself and a bloomin good director. I'm employed by Adrenaline studios specifically for my skills in working with child actors for Netflix, Disney and Nickelodeon voice projects.

Of course. Nerves are natural. I’ve worked with hundreds of young actors and know how to put them at ease. I work at their pace, with lots of encouragement and positivity... and the occasional Dad joke.

Okay, not occasional.. quite often. I'm an ex stand-up comedian. All included in the price..

You can — but casting directors can tell the difference. A professionally directed reel includes:

• Cinema-grade cameras and lenses

• Industry-standard lighting and sound

• Calm, supportive direction

• Expert editing that presents your child at their very best

Yes, and I'm good at it. Agencies often send their clients to me when they've had an important self-tape come in. I've trained hundreds of young actors and filmmakers through my school - Super 8. Many have gone on to study at world class institutions.
