If you are in the Central Jersey/Jersey Shore area, I know someone who is excellent and works almost exclusively with children who want to do commercials. She only works in really small groups, prefers no more than 4. She doesn't like to put her name out there so if you are interested you can email me and I can send you her name and email.

My friend worked with her once a week for 3 months and has now booked 6 jobs. (3 commercials and 3 print jobs.) She was never in the business before.

She will gladly give you lots & lots of references, just ask her when you talk to her.

bump

Any acting classes for 3,4 and 5 year olds?You can pm me if you like.

*Bump* for Marcia - see you next week!

Maiyasgmom, there is a good baby class at madelyn burns that i think starts soon for non readers and beginning readers. It's the agent's favorite showcase. Sometimes even I stop in to watch that showcase because it is just so darned cute. All of the agents show for that one.

edited to say I sent a pm instead. Did not realize thread was for links and not comments about classes

Actorsmommy, do you know when the class is held for younger kids. I thought she only dealt with 8 and up.
